So you went out and picked yourself up a new guitar. Congrats! You have played it for a few weeks now and you are sick of the same old songs and riffs you constantly play over and over and over again. One of the many reasons that the average weekend warrior/hobbyist gives up playing guitar is a lack of interest. I don’t care who you are, if you are playing the same damn songs every time you pick up that guitar you are going to start to hate them within a very short period of time. One of the easiest ways of staying motivated with anything is constantly challenging yourself to become better. Most hobbyists do not have to gauge their ability to feel successful; for instance if you collect stamps you may feel you are at the top of your game from the get go, but as a musician there is a fairly steep learning curve and your level of expertise or talent is fairly obvious. Overall, your level of satisfaction may be the reason you stick with it or give it up.
