You know how we often think 'motivation doesn't last long' ? Well, I view it like feeding our body. We don't eat once and then we're filled for a whole week. When we're hungry, we don't think twice about going to the cupboard to sustain ourselves with food. It's the same with our mind, it also needs feeding with good sustenance. When you look at it that way, it doesn't seem so unreasonable that we need to keep our motivational dose as frequent as possible. So, let' help each other out bu posting our fave clips so when we all need a boost we can come here and just click 'Play' A couple of classics to get us started. Now get sharing, this is everyone's thread ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I am posting this here as a contrast, however it still gives motivation because here we can see the great Kirk Hammett (I mean that BTW:)) also has his days where his practice does not necessarily go as he would like, but we all know how things have turned out for him. I felt better when I watched this cause I know it ain't always just me that has a crap practice... This is actually very motivational!! Sometimes I can't post the actual video so here is a link just in case. Kirk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LXPIzGSEfI You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I hear people say how much they want to learn this technique, or that technique and how they want to build their licks up etc.. but they're not doing it. Guys, don't talk about doing, just pick up your damn guitar and get on with it and within a week I bet you could come back and show us something new !
