How to make the most of your guitar lessons 

There are a few things that you can do to make the most of your grinds. An important one is a consistency, try and do your lessons at the same time on the same day. This will help keep you in the flow and motivated to continue learning, even when you experience difficult moments.  

Repetition. If you can’t do something keep trying over and over. Even if you can play a particular chord well, continuously practising will help improve your coordination and speed thereby helping in other areas of your playing. 

If you don’t have the means to travel to a tutor’s home then online lessons will be very useful for you. Don’t let distance or lack of transport prevent you from learning. Online classes can actually be cheaper than online ones, while still offering the same content and aid that an in-person lesson would have.  

Music in Galway 

Galway is well known for being a music capital. Plenty of music events and festivals throughout the year take place in Galway. For example, there is the Galway international arts festival that takes place every year since 1978! It hosts a variety of arts performances but one of the main parts is music performances. There is a big showcase of various bands and styles, allowing people to hopefully experience something new and interesting. 

Despite its size, Galway has plenty of bars and places where live music is the focus of the location. Some famous examples are Tigh Coili, Taaffes Bar and the Crane bar. Here you can find great Trad music in intimate and comfortable settings.  

Next year there will be the Galway early music festival which is an event that focuses on Medieval Irish music and instruments and it allows people to learn more about Medieval Galway so that both the modern and historical aspects can be enjoyed by all. Galway is a hotpot for everything to do with music, whether you’re super into it or not, it’s a great place to go for it.
