QUOTE (Guitarman700 @ Sep 2 2007, 07:13 AM)  My lifes dream is to be a pro guitarist, but lately everyone is telling me "you cant do it", "you started too late"(im 17 and just got rid of my bad practicing habits.) and "you cant make any money that way, youll never make it". i feel depressed and overwhelmed, What should i do?  You already got the best of advice! I'd just like to add - quit telling people what your plans are, that's only fuel for their fire and I'm sorry to say but there are some out there who want nothing else but to see other people fail. And when they tell you something is not doable you have to think about if they say it to you out of concern or if they are trying to block your way. I'm sure there's a word for it in other languages too but in Sweden we say "Jantelagen" - It's the law about that noone is allowed to own something that's better or have a life situation that better than anyone else. Neither are you allowed to succeed or even think you have the possibility to make something out over what's concidered normal. So... stop talking, just show them!

Hey, don't worry about your age, it really doesnt matter as long as you work hard.
A good example is Pat Martino: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Martino Just read what happened to him, maybe it will give you some boost

Have to say that at the age of 43 the things that I most regret in my life tend not to be things I did but things I didn't do - and too often didn't do because others told me not to! Stick with it.

don't care what the say!
But personally I think that going pro should never be the motivation. |
