    Try exchanging links with relevant blogs. Posting in Q&A sites such as Yahoo Answers and Wikianswers can also boost your blog traffic.

    Link exchanges are not that good anymore. Google hates them!

    As to the problem whether you will see it or not,I think you'd better think it over carefully.If you have confidence
    to develop it more and more popular,it's not wise for you to see it now.So it depends on you.In order to get more
    visitors,myabe you can also try to purchase links if you can afford it.Afer all,paid way will take into effect soon.In
    a word,it's not that easy for you to make it in short time,so please be more patient.

    There are in fact many different tactics for promoting your blog. Forum postings and twitter is a decent start but you can do a lot more to increase the traffic:

    1. Change some of your articles on your blog and submit them to ezinearticles.com and other article sites.
    2. Create hubpages and similar high traffic accounts using some of your content (change it a little of course) - this is a good source of quality backlinks, and Google loves these sites so your content and links will appear in the SEs
    3. Use your articles as a base of creating videos - then submit them to popular video engines like youtube etc

    You can find a lot of free videos and tactics on marketing your blog here:

    tuksdrr has some good advice. Looking at your content you ought to be able to author some pretty good articles with links back to your blog and submit them to article directories. You might want to add a few affiliate links in your blog content. Clickbank has things like Jamorama Learn Guitar, Guitar Super Stars, etc that you could add.

    Twitter is also good as yahoo answers but you have to put a little effort to increase followers. It won't eat much time as its is micro blogging, but continuity is a must.

    webdev007 is right about twitter. I get a good amount of traffic from it. I have about 1700 followers but on occasion one of my followers that has a big list will retweet me and my traffic jumps. I have had days that twitter has sent more traffic than Google organic search. According to Google Analytics any way. It all depends if you take the time to interact with people. If your not talking to people and just posting your tweets like a one way conversation don't expect much.
