Confidence - Fake it till You Make it! (Updated)

  1. Work on cleaning up the same two exercises we starred.
  2. Remember to do any necessary thinking before you start playing. Try to think less and less while playing.
  3. Keep your nails trimmed down to the flesh of your fingertips so they don't interfere with your playing.
  4. Don't look at your right hand.
  5. Make sure you are reinforcing proper right hand strumming form. Keep your pinky tucked, your pointer towards the tip of your pick, twisting your wrist as the primary motion, have the correct amount of pick showing past fingertips, and find the right strings by feel, not sight.
  6. Make sure you're singing and playing nice and loud at all times.
  7. Don't tap your foot, set your feet flat with good posture.
  8. Leave at least one comment about your practice or progress to help solidify your work in your mind.
  9. Believe in yourself! Try to be more and more confident. Say self-affirming things about how well you're doing or are going to do, whether you believe it or not (fake it till you make it).
