Guitar North Star Prompts?
Hi all,
I completed the exercises this week, but I didn’t get around to writing out my Guitar North Star. I thought it would be fun to do so as a New Year’s Resolution type thing as I prepare my TAC Guitar Routine Journal for Jan – March.
I remember two prompts, but not all of them. Do you remember?
Prompt: detail your guitar dream scene & answer why, why, why.
Prompt: ?
Prompt: Ho do you want guitar to help you grow.
Prompt: ?
Prompt: ?

For anyone interested in journaling and creating your North Star here are the prompts from each lesson last week:
Monday “Guitar North Star” Exercise
Pull out a sheet of paper, grab a pen or pencil and right down the answer to the following question:
Why do you want to play the guitar? What is the real reason that you are choosing to learn guitar? When you answer this question, try your best to then ask yourself “why” two to three more times to see if you can get in touch with the deep seeded reason as to why you are embarking on your guitar journey.
Tuesday “Guitar North Star” Exercise
Pull out a sheet of paper, grab a pen or pencil and right down the answer to the following question:
What experiences do you want to have with the guitar? What experiences do you wish the guitar brings to you? Turn your inner critic off and pretend you can have anything you want. Maybe it’s to play songs for your loved ones, maybe you want to play an open mic, maybe you want to write your own songs. Whatever it is right it down… it could be a whole list of things, in fact, I encourage you to make an extensive list.
Wednesday “Guitar North Star” Exercise
Pull out a sheet of paper, grab a pen or pencil and right down the answer to the following question:
How do you want the guitar to help you grow? What type of growth would you like to experience on the guitar? quiet your inner critic and write down any skill you want to learn or refine with your guitar. This could be slide guitar, barre chords, changing from chord to chord, playing a song start to finish, playing and singing at the same time. Please create an extensive list that encompasses all the ways you want to grow with your guitar. This could be purely in the skills category, or it could be how you want the guitar to help you grow on a personal or emotional level.
Thursday “Guitar North Star” Exercise
Pull out a sheet of paper, grab a pen or pencil and right down the answer to the following question:
How do you want to use the guitar to contribute to others? How will your guitar journey help you contribute to others? Who would you like to impact? There are many forms that this can take. It could be just simply encouraging others and offering help to them on their guitar journey. Maybe you wish to become involved with the Guitars For Vets organization. It’s possible that teaching your kids or grandkids is your method of contribution. Again, turn your inner critic off, the sky is the limit here.
Friday “Guitar North Star” Exercise
Take the sheet (or sheets) of paper that you have been writing your “Guitar North Star” answers on this week, fold it up, and place it in your guitar case. Use this one sheet journal of sorts to help you get back on track when you experience dips in motivation, or you begin doubting the reason you got into guitar. It will come in handy when you begin to doubt yourself or feel like you can’t do something. This “Guitar North Star” will be your guiding light for years to come and will offer that necessary check-in during those tough times when you feel like the guitar is getting the better of you.
