Discipline when you practice the guitar is very important. Learning to play the guitar is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in my life, but it was also one of the most difficult. The reason I became responsible with my instrument is simple. I practiced and I practiced a lot, every day in my room. I spent most of my time practicing the fundamentals: up and down ladders, changing chords and trying to improve my repertoire of songs.

Sometimes it was easy to take the time to practice because I was in a good mood and I really wanted to play. In these moments I could spend hours just listening to how it sounded cool when I changed the agreement between G to D chord. But other days it was my discipline and my desire to play and made me improve practice and develop as a player.

There are two main factors when it comes to discipline in practice: regular practice and practice well. Practice regularly the most obvious and easy to do. Basically, you have to play the guitar every day. It should not be mammoth sessions of three hours long. 30 minutes is usually no problem if you are concentrated during this time.

Make regular, small amounts of practice are much better than going for hours once a week. I know that in a busy life, it can be difficult to take time to practice, but honestly, 30 minutes per day is possible for anyone. There is no fixed time which is best practice but I prefer doing it at night because I just found playing the guitar is a relaxing way to unwind after a stressful day.
