guitarhabits

Hi, I’m Klaus Tol, I live in Holland, I’m married to my beautiful wife Angelique and proud to be the dad of my little girl Nienke. I’m a guitar teacher, guitar player in a rock band, singer, song writer, blog writer and a fanatic lifehacker. (meaning: living the life I want to live and escaping nine to five)

I’ve been playing guitar for more than 20 years and professionally for more than ten years now.

Why Guitar habits?

Well, I always write down ideas, things I want to accomplish, things I can do better, easier, faster, just about anything that will improve my life and make me a happier person. Efficiency and effectiveness play a big role to make sure I have all the time left to do the things I love most.

I love being productive, but also love to enjoy the good life and I think I found a pretty good way to strike a balance. Since a couple of years I’ve been living the three day work week and I do all my work from home, all guitar orientated.

Back to the ideas…
The ideas I usually come up with are related to guitar playing, song writing, recording, performing, etc, but also about my fascination with zen, minimalism, personal development, efficiency and creating a lifestyle that perfectly fits my needs and wants. I found out that the combination of all of these things definitely improved my playing. So I like to share those ideas with you and hope it will add something to your musicianship as well.

This is a blog about my personal experiences, a motivational and lifestyle design guitar blog and so about anything you need in order to create the right habits to become the guitar player you always wanted to be and live the guitar life you always wanted to live.

I hope you enjoy it!
