QUOTE (Ivan Milenkovic @ May 23 2010, 07:34 PM)  Just the right man to give this kind of advice  HAHAHAHA, and i was thinking the same  QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ May 23 2010, 10:52 PM) Something Branford Marsalis said (That he heard from his legendary father). "Players who play for applause, that's all they get". WOW, true. My dad once told me "if you try, try and keep trying and you can't still do it... try harder" Always works. --------------------  Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

Hmm, there are so many.. "Focus on accuracy and speed will come" is probably my fav one that I learnt from GMC.
BUT ... I may have come up with a few of my own over the years... (as I have to live upto my nickname) .. So here goes nothin ! - Find a healthy balance between self criticism & confidence .. Individually, both can be damaging to your guitar learning. - If you think that you have 'mastered' a technique or a piece, you probably havent  - Dont compose somethin fast just for the sake of it, chances are it will sound s@#T, no matter how well you execute it. - Learn to be a musician, not just a guitar player .. Humility, Respect for other musicians and music types are all equally important to be a great musician. - Whoever said that serious guitar learning was ALWAYS 'fun' was either lying or was on a happy pill. I know .. I should be meditating somewhere in the Himalayas ... NO freakin idea what I'm doin with a guitar !! -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

QUOTE (Bogdan Radovic @ May 23 2010, 10:23 AM) "Less is more" - I think I heard this one from Victor Wooten... Reminds me of a piece I wrote by the same name: http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=67012 Well, probably the most helpful advice that I received, as I recall, was "stop thinking about it - just play it!" |

Hehe sometime advices conflict - one of my favorites is "The more you think the better you are going to play" (Marty Friedman). This one is referring to guitar theory though. |

off the top of my head:
what J Petrucci says on that Rock discipline video: "Resources are out there, you just have to go and get them and build up on whatever you want to do" (in other words) "All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness" E.

I heard recently a good one from Anthony Wellington :
"Learning the instrument is like counting to infinity, when you get to 1000 you are no closer to mastering the instrument then when you started. You play because you like it." - that's for all the ones worried about their progress

Here are some Miles Davis quotes that are all excellent and inspiring, I love listening to him talk, he was a true genious.
“For me, music and life are all about style.” “Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself” “Don't play what's there, play what's not there.” -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Try to play what you hear in your mind - don't over-analyze it - my interpretration of the real Zak Wylde.
Along the same lines : Marc Schonbrun, in his music-theory book, stated that Music Theory is great for analyzing and communicating to others what happened musically - it's not so great for composing music. Much like a type-writer is great for quickly writing down ideas, and grammer is great for analyzing sentence structure to determine what happened, no one begins writing a story by opening up a grammar book and finding what rules can be used to glue words together correctly. It comes from your creative mind. The benefit of Music Theory comes when you study music that has already been created. If you study music, you lock into your mind what *was* played, and how it sounded - thereby opening up your ability to know how to play it and that such a sound exists - that way when you are creating, you have a new sound discovered in your mind opening up new possibilities. So, study music theory to help you know you instrument and what has been created - throw your theory away when you are writing music - except maybe to jot down notes for others to follow along with! That's how I think about it anyways. Christian A. -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
