How to Create Good Guitar Habits that Work

You want to read this post.

So, what new guitar challenge(s) are you going to commit to in the year ahead? What fresh guitar routine are you going to follow and what are you going to do to make it really work and last?

Creating good solid guitar habits is a challenge in itself. First of all, you have to ask yourself the important questions and providing them with hard and truthful answers in writing:

  • Do you really want to become a better guitar player or is it just a nice idea?
  • WHY do you want to become a better guitar player? Two good reasons please!
  • Do you want to put in the work to become a better guitar player? or just really not?

Once you’ve answered these questions you want to ask the follow up questions:

  • What is it that you want to get good or better at?
  • What gives you the most satisfaction and reward?
  • What could you really do to become a better guitar player?
  • How could you create a habit that works and sticks?

With the last question I can help you with. Read on!

How to Keep Guitarhabits Alive (and Growing)

By Klaus Crow Leave a Comment

Dear friends of Guitarhabits,
I am happy to see that a lot of people are enjoying the free quality guitar lessons on Guitarhabits and I really enjoy creating those lessons, videos and guitar articles on the website. It’s a true pleasure.

Who is behind Guitarhabits?

I’m Klaus Crow and Guitarhabits.com is just run by me. I started this website in 2009 and have built it with passion and hard work over many years. As a result the website managed to get a good position on Google, so people could find Guitarhabits worldwide. With the help of ads on the website and my 50CBL course I could always sustain and maintain the website.

Adapting to fast changes

Since 2021 there have been dramatic and fast changes in the Google SEO landscape. I have been working hard trying to keep up and adapt to these new SEO changes, along with maintaining the website, creating new content and videos (which is a challenge to say the least), to make the free lessons in clear sight on Google for anyone who wants to learn to play guitar, be motivated and inspired.  

To keep Guitarhabits alive and growing it is urgent and essential to have a fast website for the audience without the ads getting in the way to maintain its existence within the new Google SEO landscape.

The future of Guitarhabits

So, I’m looking for someone who believes in Guitarhabits and wants to support me to preserve all the hundreds of beautiful free quality guitar lessons on the website, so I can keep creating, improving, expanding and grow the website for all you awesome guitar players out there.

If you think Guitarhabits deserves a chance to sustain and grow and you want to help out with a sponsorship and have a serious offer please let me know.

If you’re interested send an email to info@guitarhabits.com and put “Sponsorship Guitarhabits” in the subject.

Warm regards,

Guitar Music & Health Goals for 2022

By Klaus Crow 19 Comments

Happy new year to all of you! May 2022 bring you good health and utmost joy. While some things are beyond our control there is a lot we can do ourselves to improve our health and overall happiness.

As a practicing musician (and a human being) it’s important to maintain a good physical and mental state, so I like to do whatever I can to work on my health and strengthen my immune system and of course this comes in phases. Life works like that. It’s high tide and low tide, its Ying and Yang. It’s all part of the game, as long as you get back up again and go for it.

For music and guitar goals it’s the same thing. I set out goals where some survive and others don’t and that’s okay. It’s the intention that matters.

For me goal setting makes me happy, that’s why I do it. It’s not the result I’m after to be fulfilled, it’s the writing down of things that I want to do, the process, the workflow, the effort and everything that occurs from that.

I write down my goals. Writing down goals makes the probability of executing them much higher. Writing them down in detail on a weekly or even daily basis will make that probability huge.

My Previous Guitar Goals

One of my guitar and music goals for 2021 was “improving my guitar skills”. Now I must admit that’s a little vague, because if learned one new guitar lick I would’ve reached that goal. So I’m going to make my goals more specific this time.

Another one of my goals was “writing songs”. Now that one I have accomplished. I’ve written 12 songs in the last year. I’ve written the music and lyrics, but I haven’t recorded them yet, so you can guess what’s coming.

I’ve performed before a live audience only once in 2021 which was a great joy, but any effort or attempt to start a band or musical group has not come off the ground because of all the covid restrictions.

For all my other goals in the categories “health”, “mind”, “work”, “family and friends” I did well. In the category “health” it was on and off, but I always bounced back. I regularly drink water (much more than I used to do), I stretch a lot, I have times were I don’t eat after 7 or 8 p.m. and I work hard to get my 7 to 8 hours of sleep.

I also spent a lot more time with my kids in 2021. I played a lot of soccer with the boys, we did a lot of family trips and now I’m teaching all three kids to play drums (They prefer drums over guitar. Haha!)

Now let’s take a look at some awesome happy guitar and music goals to have a vision and aim to realize some good stuff for 2022.
