I was going to object to 10,000 being the magic formula - but this video is nuanced and I agree with it!

Good news is anyone is only 10k hours away from being darn good at anything they want! Yes - that is the takeaway! |

And that's not 10k tuning up in your practise room, 10k reading about it or 10k noodling, those things all have their place but the 10k is 10k of focused hands on practise.

Someone quoted Mr Vai, more or less like this. Why am I not getting better? Vai: Did you spend time reading about equipment/techniques/biographies? > yes. Vai: Did you spend time watching all my lessons and live shows? > yes. Vai: So that's why. I think for many, myself included in the past, that is a naive attempt in vain at finding "the secret", "the shortcut", that "little bit of information that is the key", to be able to play great in the shortest time. I don't do it any more but I am guilty of it in the past -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Is the old GMC thing, "There are no shortcuts, there is no destination, enjoy the journey" I've kinda modified it a bit but that is the essence of GMC

There's nothing more disappointing that getting that new Satriani endorsed pedal only to discover you still can't play Surfin' With The Alien been there, done that, not quite that extreme but you get what I mean?
