To elevate your guitar skills, try playing in the dark or with your eyes closed. Many great guitar players do this during live performances. It helps you "feel" the music and avoid playing mechanically. While practice is essential, it's important not to become robotic. Close your eyes and channel your musical heroes! Your mind will naturally learn to visualize the neck. I do this regularly, and it has led to some of my most rewarding guitar experiences. Playing live with my eyes closed also helps me concentrate on my performance and tune out distractions from the audience.

This is a great point! Anything to get you to focus on the actual music more as opposed to the technique of playing it is really helpful! Thanks for checking out the video!
