So I've been doing piano and guitar lessons for about six months, one instrument every fortnight. I'm not consistent enough in my practise, so I'm thinking about just doing guitar lessons. I've had some piano experience before and although I still suck, I don't suck at it as much as I suck at guitar.
I really want to be more consistent with practise and also being active. What are some barriers that you experience with forming consistent habits?
Try to break up the 'boring' stuff from lessons with songs you're interested in too. Spend a bit of time 'eating your vegetables' then you can work on songs you like.
Soon you'll be able to put it all together and identify the scales, keys, and rhythm you've learnt from practice in songs you've been practising
