badaids Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Practice. For 10,000 hours. This is pretty much the accepted minimum required to become expert in something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 This thread has inspired me . Got a beautiful old Kimbara 12 string guitar that just sits in a corner looking nice (only has six strings currently and six bridge pins missing). Just ordered a complete new set of strings (+bridge pins) and I'm going to practice 'til my fingers bleed . Who knew spam could be useful?

Cornish Steve Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Based on my own experiences - having been offered (but decided to turn down) a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, written a piano concerto, and so on. It's like the definition of genius: 10% inspiration (or natural ability) and 90% perspiration. From the age of 5 to 18, I practiced between one and four hours every day. There are certain points along the journey that are crucial, though. 1) After the initial novelty has worn off, you have to force yourself to continue by setting aside at least an hour a day. 2) You need to follow a program of some sort so you can measure progress. It's worth taking RSM exams because they give you a target. 3) Get involved with others and use the positive side of peer pressure. You'll want to improve to keep up with others. 4) Throw yourself into music in general. Listen, study, appreciate, experiment, mimic, persevere. There's a difference between a musician and an instrumentalist. The great thing about music is that it becomes a lifelong passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Same as you do with sports: play with those who are better than you. Never settle for being the best in the room. And of course, Practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 There's something strange about this guy. If you Google he spends his time posting different 'tell me abouts' on lots of forums but never a 2nd post. I can only presume it's to access the pm function.

Maybe he's off practicing his banjo. marcus jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 He's a fifteen year old kid from Bangladesh according to his profile....think he's probably just trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records for most forum memberships.
