| When I think I’ve finally got a message worthy of your eyeballs…
Give it some time for the “dough to rise,” so to speak…
Come back to it and it’s flat!
Kinda like the idea that there are simple tricks you can use that’ll make you a better guitarist faster.
I mean, guitar should be simple, right?
Pick it up and play…
How hard can it be?
You just KNOW that in a few weeks you’re gonna
get the call to sit in on the next jam session with your favorite
guitar player...
Alright, maybe I’m exaggerating a little.
You see, this is where we get messed up in our
heads. We think it should be simple, easy even, to strap on this
instrument and play a tune.
No such luck.
But open up YouTube and there you have video
evidence - the latest upload from the virtuoso of the day making it
‘look' so easy. Jammin’ away with their buds making gorgeous recordings.
And if your YouTube is
targeting you like mine is, you’re seeing minutes-long commercials from
guitar teachers wanting to hook you up with the their version of “the
secret” behind learning guitar the fastest, easiest way possible.
I get it… Easy sells.
But deep down you know the truth...
There ain't no “fast and easy.”
And how do you know?
‘Cause like everything else you’ve done in
your life that means something, it's required you to put in the time and
effort to get the skills.
‘Cause maybe you’ve been hammering away at
this guitar thing for a while now, and it's got its own little
Wonderland you have to figure out as you go, with its twists and turns…
Effortless to stumble into, and you never find the way out. The deeper you get, the more you uncover that you don’t know yet.
Plus there’s that old saying that “nuthin’ comes easy."
The promise and lure of easy is just a smokescreen to the true secret behind success…
Hate to cuss at you, but here’s the dirty four-letter word:
WORK!
