Learn to appreciate your hard work. Give yourself a notable pat-on-the-back for all the challenges and difficulties that you have overcome. The next time you master the C Major chord without looking, treat yourself and do something that you like doing. Forget the guitar for a moment and indulge yourself with life’s simple pleasures. Taking a break from all that grueling guitar practice can help you stay focused and motivated the next time you pick up your guitar and start practicing again.

The last and the most important tip of all: ENJOY. Learning the guitar should be fun and interesting. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Always keep in mind that you are doing just fine and sooner or later, you will be one hell of a guitar player who can leave his audience speechless.
