I knew a teacher once who told me that listening is half the battle. 'If you were to practice 12 hours a day, you should be listening to music for the other 12 and you will be complete, grasshopper.' No, but does everybody listen as much as they practice or vise versa or do you think it's a crappy rule to go by?

(I personally think it's worthy of praise, afterall, listen to this (i'm wailing away, you just can't hear me))
