At first, everybody a knew was playing guitar. So I picked up one and started to play. It was a stupid race to be the best player. What a mistake, what a waste of energy. I would of cover much more theory and gain skill much faster if I just took the time to understand what I played. But you know what, I about the only one who still play that guitar.
I think my biggest problem now is that I'm impatient. I can play fast licks but I get frustrated when my chords sounds wierd. I never took time to master them and now I don't want to take the time. I want to play now and perfectly. I'm working on it but it's a long, long road.
