So true. Can you "teach" someone to be a world-class guitarist or songwriter? No you cannot...it takes a deep ambitious drive and 1000's of hours of self-study

So true. Can you "teach" someone to be a world-class guitarist or songwriter? No you cannot...it takes a deep ambitious drive and 1000's of hours of self-study that are laced with frustration and the feeling that you are making no progress whatsoever. I have never taken a class that "educated" me about that particular process and how to overcome the internal resistances to it.
