When I created this site, I had one thing in mind: serve the online musician’s community. And although I commonly teach the technical aspects to guitar playing and the such to students in person, I actually wanted to create a concentrated channel somewhere to enlighten the musical public of the more psychological and emotional aspects to playing. Now mind you, there are many resources that give technical tips – tablature for guitar techniques, exercises, scales, chords, and even links to gear you can buy. But there are already so many of these resources online, they are not hard to find, and many of the sources do a great job at teaching these things. My intentions with this blog are to offer all beginning and intermediate guitar, bass, drum, piano, (etc) players my views on the psychological and emotional power that comes with creating music and what it takes to do it from the heart. After all, what good are the technical lessons if the student is not fully motivated and prepared to properly continue what they are learning?

I’ve met a lot of people who’ve tried to learn an instrument but could never stick with it because they didn’t know how to put their heart enough into it to keep actual interest in staying on their practice. Every time I heard stories from these people it made me sad to see that these people, with such deep visions of making something of their life and wanting to inspire others, knowing they have that actual ability in their heart, did not have the essential know-how to really emotionally wrap their wants around the idea of persistence. If they had, today, they would’ve reached out and touched hundreds of people with their playing. My aim is to fill this gap as much as I can to make it easier for other guitar teachers out there to get their students to follow through by helping to instill a deeper drive into them with these articles. Therefore, I recommend this site to each and every student learning an instrument, and I hope you do too.

In the near future, I do have plans to begin providing technical tips for the guitar, bass, and drums. After all, in the end, I do want the Dojo to be as widely useful in every way possible. A lot of these posts are simply my own views on being a musician in general, and I would rather not limit you to only opinions on the general natures of playing. A place like this would be of much more use if all aspects of learning music were implemented. However, seeing as this blog is new, I like the idea of starting things out on the most effective note possible. Afterward, the technical lessons will thus come in good time, when it is right and I have gotten the right kind of feedback to request these things.

If you happen to be reading this but you don’t play any instrument, you probably know somebody who is learning or advancing. They might be struggling with keeping their head in the game as a result of perhaps lessons becoming stale to them, or maybe they are drifting off into other things that are distracting them. Whatever the case may be, referring them to Musician’s Dojo just may be the thing to clear this up, and they might even thank you for showing them here.
