I love this post from my guitar teacher - have to put it here for my log

1 How To Make March Better Than February Boy did February fly by! But that's okay - March is for new goals and new challenges. :) This month, try and focus on that one thing that you're struggling on. Be completely honest with yourself. ✔ List all the things you're currently awesome at first. That includes: challenges you overcame, practice routines that stuck, and all that good stuff! ✔ Next, take a closer look at some of those things you've been avoiding. Maybe it's working on arpeggios or locking in your finger picking technique. Whatever it is, write it down and make a plan to face your challenge this March. And always remember, you aren't alone. The Guitar Tricks community has tons of guitarists that are working toward being better! Get useful feedback, helpful tips, and support by visiting the forum. Here's to a new month of motivation!

Watch Ben's full guide on the basic tapping technique.
