I like the feedback given on this site, it's honest and helpful without beating the crap out of our dreams. At church we have well meaning people who may not be that musically inclined tell us, you sound just like the Cd, and others wonder why I take the comments with a pinch of salt. On another guitar site, someone posted a video, his capo was on badly and it affected the guitar's tuning, his chord changes and strumming were badly timed, but he got great comments, now I'm all for encouragement but a dose of reality and suggested improvements go a lot further in someone's guitar journey. Can't agree more. Some realistic feedback can really help us to note the things that we could improve to improve our playing or compositions. I learnt to be more honest with people when asks me for suggestions but I also learn how and when to say the things that I think could be improved. I feel much better when I can give real feedback and improvement suggestions to a friend or musician that shows me his music or playing and asks me what I think. As Cosmin said, I also think that GMC helped me with this. I have some friends in who I trust who I usually show my compositions or ideas and ask for feedback... the 3 persons that are my main advisors are my brother, my best friend Esteban and my girlfriend. What about you? Who is your most trusted advisor? -------------------- My lessons

Good call here Gabi I guess honesty is a rare trait these days and some people are just not ready to hear the truth roar in their ears and hearts alike. Cezar, my best friend and band mate in Days of Confusion is always a brutally honest individual, to whom I owe a lot of my evolution as a musician and human being alike. He can easily discourage people when he speaks his mind, but if you have ears to hear, you will also hear the thing that could improve what you have shown and take it to the next level yeah, I know guys like Cezar. Sometimes it can be hard but in the end, these are the comments that help us most to know what things we should work. Sometimes this guys are so brutally honest that we need some time to assimilate what they said, but with some time and thinking we finally discover how important guys like him can be for us. -------------------- My lessons

I think that when I write something for someone... that's when I get the most nervous because I always think 'Will they like it... or not' Brr... Are you talking about a love song? -------------------- My lessons

Of course, what were you thinking? A hate song maybe? I am pretty much a sensitive guy and you know how these things go when you pour some heart and soul into a song How many of you guys have written songs for people you like/love and presented these to them? I've done this, and I've also felt very nervous and shy when the other person was ready to listen to it for the first time... -------------------- My lessons

I once ended up in a situation in which the reaction was 'Mmm, I think I'll get something to eat, that's nice btw'
It was a sign that I wasted a bit too much energy tho |

What happened then? As Trent Reznor says... was it the beginning of the end? -------------------- My lessons
