You've probably already determined why you want to learn to play the guitar. Whether it be for your own benefit, for the benefit of friends and family, or even a career move, you need to understand why you are doing this in the first place. Once you understand that, you can move forward with committing yourself to the process.
Another step in committing yourself is outlining your goals. When do you want to become proficient at playing the guitar? Perhaps there is an event you want to be able to play for coming in a couple of months. Writing these goals down can help cement them in your mind, and help you commit yourself to them.
You also have to get the physical components of learning how to play the guitar. First and foremost is choosing a guitar to play with. There are many beginner models on the market, and they won't break the bank either! You might want to look into great used models -- just make sure it's something high quality that will help you become an excellent player.
Another factor in how committed you remain is how easy and motivating your lessons are. Many people feel that learning the guitar is too difficult. It can be if you don't have the right course! Difficult instruction that you can't follow along with is the cause of many people giving up on learning how to play the guitar. Finding the right course is key!
How do you know you have found the right course? It should be comprehensive and take you and point A to point B with ease. The beginning section should cover everything from how to hold your guitar, to how to strum properly. The course should then take you through the lessons in a practical manner so you can become more advanced over time.
If you have the right course, you will likely stay motivated to continue with it. Keep things fun, and make sure you are learning in a variety of different ways. Watch others play the guitar, practice with guitar tracks, and even play musically guitar games. There are some great courses that contain all of these components, further helping you stay committed!
