  • How I TAC – Michelle-PSL

    Posted by Michelle-PSL on April 27, 2021 at 6:50 pm

    1.) How many days per week do you play?

    I play daily – 7 days a week. I’ve been fortunate to be able to hold a guitar in my hands every day since I started learning to play.

    2.) What time of day do you play?

    I play after work, sometimes as early as 7pm, but usually after 7:30 pm. I play earlier on the weekends (no set time), and usually more than once a day.

    3.) Where do you play?

    I play in my guitar room/ music room/she den/woman cave, which is a re-purposed spare bedroom.

    4.) What was your guitar life like before having a guitar routine & how has implementing a consistent guitar routine helped you?

    Before having a routine, I was extremely unfocused. I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what I needed to be doing.

    Implementing a consistent guitar routine has helped me to

    – Have a sense of structure in my guitar learning which, for me, also removes stress

    – Develop important skills through regular practice that lead to continual improvement

    – Focus my energy and efforts on the learning goals that I’ve established

    – Save valuable time because I don’t need to think about what to do; I go to my music room and I practice and play – it’s just what I do.

    5.) Bonus Question: What is one non-guitar item that is a must have in your guitar routine?

    Intangible Item – Stress relief! Every day after work, my dog Gracie and I go for a long walk – for at least an hour. Walks are longer on the weekend. We walk rain or shine or whatever weather. This not only relieves the pressures of the day, but also warms up my old body so that I can begin to play with just a few stretches.

    Tangible Item – Something to drink. Coffee in the morning; water or ginger tea in the daytime; sometimes a nice glass of Pinot Noir in the evening.
