Hey Muris!
I just saw your Neo-Classical solo and i couldn't pass by this question: besides being a killer guitarist, do you have any real education and degree from university or something? I mean the high education? Looking at your skills i am trying to imagine the amount of time i need to get something like that, and i am comparing it to the current amount of time i have for practicing left after university -> looks pretty impossible  So, do you have any degree in any area? -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Only music high school,not university.
But the truth is,most of my practicing I did during elementary and high school, luckily(read sadly if you wish) I had nothing else to do...  I did attempt Music Academy for one year but there's no guitar department so I quited, I loved all theory stuff etc but it was too much of piano for me at that point.  I've heard that Academy does have guitar department now but only classical, which just isn't my way of living. So after quiting Academy I went into pro's,to make a living of it and that's when practicing usually stops I'm afraid to say... I'm not talking of famous pro players,giging topics and schedules push them to practice all the time, but when you're local pro player(hired gun) then you have to do/play many things that you don't enjoy a lot,and it's all related to music. Still,I'm trying to keep further and build myself, not to stay on current level,something like that. Thanks for your interest Pavel,hope I explained it a bit! By the way,try to spend educational part of like as better as possible, later on you'll see that many responsibilities are standing on our ways, I've found that educational part the best,good luck!!

Do you have any recordings/videos of your elementary/high school playing?
--------------------  But still I want answers, what's the point, what does all this mean? |

Thanks for the answer Muris!
I just think that i don't practice much or good enough so i had to know about your educational period of life. Man you're good at guitar... I just see that UNI is taking all the time from me and when i get home i am too wasted to pick up the guitar  Anyway, great job on your music career! Carry on

I'm with Pavel. Muris you rock the house man. Great example of what a man can do when he puts a lot of hard work into it - in your case it's the guitar, and you've done a hell of a job - respect.

Thanks Ivan.
It is really all about hard work and practicing,nothing much. I like to say 99% is hard work and 1% is motive to do it,maybe I'm wrong,dunno. -------------------- Youtube

I just cannot explain the "talent",I really can't, to me it's more like willing to do something.
Thanks Eddie! -------------------- Youtube

Hi Frank
To be honest with you,I've done most of my learning by ear. That way you have to practice more,since you're figuring out stuff by ear,no tabs. More practicing,more listening...result must be there.

You're not bothering at all!! It's hard for me to put just one style or type of music a side. Every style has good and bad moments,I'm just trying to stick with good ones.
