I've been playing guitar for well over thirty years and can't seem to get it.
I'll watch players, follow what they are doing, and can't seem to replicate
the tones, phrasing, feel that good players have. I'm not going to live for ever and at this rate I'll never get it. When I play out, people tell me I sound like Clapton but I know it's not my riffs, just my voice, so how can I FAST t :cool: rack to making my guitar produce the sounds in my head? I practice, practice, practice, but I'm still frustrated. Is this normal? Am I my own worst critic? Is it like golf? (Always learning and perfecting?) Any serious tips to fast track to a real command of tone, fret board visualization, mastering modes, scales, riffs, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I'm not whinning, just love to play but I'm not rockin yet! Please help if ya can.
