What were those magic words that drove you to continuous practice. Were they thrilling or was it an event that made you pick up guitar. For me it was the moment my teacher told me this.

"The difference between a master guitarist and a talented guitarist is this, you can easily pull the talented guitarist away from the instrument. Since they believe that they are talented they won't bother to practice as much, but a master you'll have to pry the thing from his cold dead hands before he will let it go." When i heard these words i practiced everyday from then on in and whenever i got the chance no matter how tired i got i just always wanted to play after that.

I know it sounds a bit cheesy but here i am a few years later trying to pick up an instrument that was a chore for me when i was younger. What words or event made you guys play?
