Guitar 2 • How-To “Study & Learn”

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” ~ Will Durant Your guitar is a companion, a fellow traveler, its strings like a canvas waiting for your artistry to shine through. Remember, that practicing notes, scales, chords and technique is like walking up stairs —take it one step at a time. Even legends like Hendrix struggled at first, so trust the process: Practice slowly. Practice consistently. Practice mindfully. One day, you’ll feel like you’re painting masterpieces with every note you play.” • Talent is overrated, consistent learning, training, practice will outperform talent on every big and small stage on every day and night, for an audience of one or an audience of one hundred thousand. Imagine the never ending journey of learning the guitar? Make it a source of joyful fulfillment. It can only be about the journey because there is no one final destination. You will never know all there is to know, so relax, and enjoy the trip. No need to rush, Like a daily shower it will refresh your mind, body and spirit.
