I Didn't Practice Guitar All Week, Should I Go to My Lesson?

The worst thing you can do is NOT GO!

The first thing we hear when they call is "I couldn't practice this week so I don't want to waste your time." While that is a valid reason, not attending the lesson will just make matters worse. For one thing, when you miss or cancel the lesson, it becomes easier to do it again. Pretty soon not playing the guitar becomes a habit and you get out of the routine. Then your interest level starts to drop, then it becomes more trouble finding time and the cycle begins. By going to the lesson anyway, you keep the momentum you had. You can be sure your teacher can find lots of things to work on even when you haven't picked up the guitar all week. Scales, note reading, timing and theory can all be things that you and your teacher can work on in more detail. So go to the lesson and have fun. That's what playing the guitar is all about.
