Just thought I would like to share something I have found out about myself since joing Guitar Tricks, and that is how my mental attitude was holding me back!
I watched guitar players (not just stars) for many years and always felt they had some kind of "magic" and that I could never do what they were doing with a guitar.
I started Ben Lindholms tutorials and found, just by chance, that I was applying the same mental attitude: ie I will never be able to do that.
But then I noticed that Ben ( and the other instructors ) all said the same thing
"start slow, get it right, practise practise and more practise, and you will get there"
If you get frustated, take 10 mins off.
I realised that I was defeating myself BEFORE I even started.
I changed to thinking "ok give myself time and I WILL get there.
I found that by following the Instructors stratagy my playing has improved beyond anything I previously thought possible.
The dogs dont even run out of the room now when I pick my guitar up!
All I can say is a very big thank you to Ben and all the other Instructors I have looked at for helping me both to improve my playing and also my attitude.
Cheers
Mike
