The last question will possibly make a lot of people think of how they approach guitar. I personally have a lot of experience similar to Rusty's when i meet people who talk too much and don't play at all and call themselves "guitarists". Also i meet a lot of people who only talk gear and don't practice and again call themselves "guitarists". What's your experience? -------------------- "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! |

Most of my friends are over analatycal, allways comparing themselves and other players to famous players, saying stuff like "That's this guys lick, and that sounds alot like that other guy!" I try to calm them down though constantly telling them to not think too much who they sound like and just play what's in their head, I think it's finally starting to get through to them but it will take some more time |

Also i meet a lot of people who only talk gear and don't practice and again call themselves "guitarists". What's your experience? I agree, I've actually grown to hate the word, "guitarist". I hate when people spend so much time working on technique and "mastering the guitar" that their work becomes just plain unmusical. I think we should all just be referred to as musicians, because I think that a lot of guitarists today forget that that's what they should be aiming to become, rather than just "guitarists". |

I just got over that, I always thought I didn't sound good because of the amp or because I didnt have a $2000 guitar, nah, after I realized it was all in my head and fingers, I instantly started to sound better, and was way more confident in my playing. See i joined GMC a year ago, and now when you look at my lessons back than, they sound much worse than lessons i do now, and i never changed my gear or amp setting - it's all because of practice and i was really happy a few days ago when a lot of you commented my last lesson and noticed big improvement in both my tone and skills - it was really a punch for me and i'm glad practicing gives results So - just as Rusty said - you better practice, and talk less about styles, what is importing and what is not - just practice and show the world what you can be EDIT: just to add something, a few days ago one guy called me and asked how to set up his new Ibanez 6-string...he wanted to tune it down to B - no comments at all. Than a few days later he said how great his guitar is and the only thought i had was: "What is the use use of a great guitar if you can't play..." - so gear is not important, just the practicing.

Well gear IS important, but only when you become very experienced, a great musician can get a good sound from any guitar, but to really express himself and get the exact sound he wants he will need high edge gear, it's like my guitar teacher told me once: "I'd prefer hearing an experienced player playing a 200$ strat copy than a full of S*** player playing a 4000$ custom strat" Yeah exactly That's the point! Your teacher said it right m8! -------------------- "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! |

Everything else is just wrong. And yeah,less talking,more practicing! Am still talking,aren't I? This post has been edited by Muris: Feb 22 2008, 01:01 AM -------------------- Youtube
