Listen to a lot of guitar-driven music and imagine yourself playing them.

But for some of us, we love our music so much that it alone inspires us to keep at our instruments and be the best for our music one day...

you gotta expand your view.watch video by various guitarist from various genre.

i personally am a metal guitarist and i watch videos from the great Dimebag Darrell to the likes of Gary Moore and SRV who are hard rock and blues player respectively.

so keep your view wide and watch out for under-rated guitarist like paul gilbert and eric johnson.cause they tend to play more unpredictable material.

I watch videos of other guitarist doing covers and always tell myself that I'll be able to play like this some day (I'm also a fan of Sakito )

Also I learn songs that I like. The satisfaction of playing something from a musician I adore keeps me motivated Take it as feeling as if you're one step closer to being like them. Self motivation is important, if you don't 'feel' it, then no matter what you do the interest will still fade.

Learn things one at a time. If you start off learning a difficult song, you will probably end up being discouraged.

hmm, maybe you could motivate yourself by watching inspirational guitar videos on youtube?

have a buddy who's better or the same standard as you, so you'll be able to spur each other on the improve your technique. a little bit of competition here would be fine, but don't get too competitve.

you could also aim to take part in a band competition, in this way you'll also have the incentive to practice more and harder.
