Ross's 'full throttle conditioning' book / dvd totally changed the way I approached training. he really does back up all of his theories about training, Im a big fan of his stuff.
I really like how the approach to training and fitness or Martial arts can be transferred so easily to practicing guitar. I read a bunch of stuff from the mma trainer 'martain rooney' and he posted these 5 tips about 'talent'. Now, 6 months ago I would have read this as a 100% training article but now I read it as if its from a guitarist magazine or something The Talent Revelation This post has been edited by bleez: Nov 5 2012, 10:13 PM -------------------- You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

Now, 6 months ago I would have read this as a 100% training article but now I read it as if its from a guitarist magazine or something The Talent Revelation What an excellent article and I'm glad because I've been saying this for a long time. Talent is an illusion.. it doesn't exist ! When we're very young, we have a certain thing, or things, that we naturally go towards and show an interest in. If we capitalise on it early enough and keep it going then that is usually described as our 'talent' but in truth, we just kept working at something until we got good at it. Everybody had this in them when they were a young child. However, we can start working on a new skill at any time of our life. If you decide you want to become great at something, you just do it. You make your own rules. Never take 'Conventional wisdom' to heart. 'Conventional wisdom is basically just a record of something that somebody else once did. Following that is like trying to recreate history. You might as well go and partake in a battle re-enactment. (nothing wrong with that for recreation, btw). Remember, before they did what they did.. that story did not exist. They made their path as they went along. Just like you make yours. Inspiring stories and wisdom is great for motivation and a guide for the mindset that you need but in terms of what is physically possible / not possible.. you have to ignore that notion. As Arnold would say 'that is somebody else's reality.. it wasn't my reality'. When people say 'you can't do something, it's not possible' what it means is 'they couldn't do it.. or they haven't heard of anybody who can.' It's like guitar advice.. I can tell you what worked /works for me and I can suggest what I think may help you or where I think you may be going wrong but if you have an absolute gut feeling and determination that the way you hold the pick, or the way you fret the notes is right for you then you goddamn listen to that, not somebody else's experience. Your experience tells you more than somebody else's words. And one final addition to that is: I, or anybody else, can try and give you all the help in the world but unless you put in the time and the effort then it means nothing. I cannot lift your weight for you or you will never develop the physique to do it on your own. Thanks again for that article, Bleez.. it should be shared everywhere
