Want to become a great guitar player fast? Read this.
Do you want to become a better guitar player fast? Quit focusing on how much natural talent you have or don’t have. Spending a lot of time contemplating how much talent you have is a total waste and will slow down your progress. Here are 3 reasons why:
You Self-Sabotage Yourself
Blaming slow progress on (perceived) lack of talent becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
If you believe you lack natural talent, you stop trying to improve your guitar playing. This stops your progress in its tracks.
If you believe you do have natural talent, it’s easy to become complacent and expect talent to do the work for you. This makes you lazy and unmotivated to practice and slows down your progress.
It Distracts You From What Really Matters
It takes a lot of work to become a good guitar player, whether you have natural talent or not. (This free guitar playing article discusses the reasons why.) No guitar player becomes great from “natural talent” alone. The best guitarists practiced long and hard to develop their skills.
You can’t know how much natural talent you have until you’ve done all you can to become the best guitarist possible.
It Doesn’t Matter How Much Natural Talent You Posses
Talent comes down to one’s natural tendency to make specific movements. Guitar players who have greater natural talent tend to practice correctly and quickly learn to integrate their playing skills effortlessly into any musical situation. The overwhelming majority of guitarists are not able to do this by themselves.
Here’s the good part: once you complete the same process that all great guitarists have gone through, you will become a great player just like them. The greatest guitar teacher can teach you how to do anything that any naturally talented guitarist can do. This programs you with a physical and mental skillset for talent making natural talent entirely unnecessary.
(Warning: a lot of guitar teachers who claim to be experts are not really experts. Make sure to pick your guitar teacher wisely.)
