Members WRGKMC Posted May 21, 2015 Members Share Posted May 21, 2015 How about just taking lessons. Its the shortest path to becoming good is to educate yourself in the language of music. Having a good mentor will make that process joyous, not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted May 23, 2015 Members Share Posted May 23, 2015 Main thing musicians lack is an overview. Ton of generic "specialists" , few good musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJ6stringsting Posted May 23, 2015 Members Share Posted May 23, 2015 I'm never satisfied with my playing, I play too technical / mechanical sometimes and force myself to play more simpler things, sometimes a good Blues romp will bring be a better prospective. I listen to other instruments. Sometimes just listening as a fan of music, as opposed to listening like a musician will regenerate the learning process and the love of music.
