...a talent like Jason Becker was or any of the other famous guitar players that were already prolific guitar players in their teenage years?

I'm having a bit of a crisis today regarding the above laugh.gif I'm seeing all these amazing guitar players, and I'm thinking: "why didn't I practice properly for the last 10 years, so I could be really good today?". Of course there's nothing I can do about it now, except practice properly for the next ten years and become that 37 year old dude who suddenly became good at guitar. I know it's never too late, but just today it's a bit discouraging knowing that players like Jason Becker was 18 and could play like he could at the time, or some other young talents out there. I know they played a lot more than I have done, so there's a logical explanation to it, but you know, sometimes it would be nice to have a time machine to go back and do things over smile.gif

How do you fight thoughts like the above? smile.gif
