I made a video to help you understand what is important for YOU - in order to reach you goals.
Everyone is comprised of a unique combination of weaknesses and strengths - and we all have our musical preferences. Students often don't realise that if you are sitting with a guitar in your hands, it means you have a unique musical identity - which must be nurtured and managed tenderly. By focusing on the things you love doing and playing, you are giving yourself a huge advantage over other guitarists practicing things just because "someone told them to". If you follow my advice in this video, it can mean the difference between achieving your goals or not. Not only that, but it can help you speed up the learning process tremendously. |

Thanks Dieter - and yes we took good care of the catfish so he is probably still swimming there with lots of big carps in his belly..!

Very inspiring and helpful video! Just what I needed to hear... I am sure everyone can relate to it, regardless of being guitar player or not. It can be applied to any situation and aspiration in life. You should think about doing a TED talk!

Thanks a lot for your great comments. This one was extremely difficult for me to do, it actually took me several days - I had to do a lot of thinking...
