After 10,000 hours of doing something, I can't see anyone not having tried to improve themselves. I think it's basically impossible to do the same thing for that long without basic human nature taking effect and forcing that person to improve until they can't any more. At least, not organically. I'm sure you could put a gun to their head and force them to improve more, but that's not natural.
- bluGill 7y agoI think you are missing a few things. There are a lot of things to learn, someone who spends 10,000 hours on flat pick guitar will not be any good at finger picking guitar without a few thousand more hours practice in a different skill. There are a number of other ways to study guitar, before you branch to base, violin, Piano, drums - that is all playing interments. There is are completely different line of music you can go down: composition, conducting. In short, there is always something more to learn even if you are a master of something.
- j45 7y agoI certainly did not argue arguing that you’d be done at 10,000 hours, only much better than being at hour 1. Whether it’s playing an instrument one way or another.. doesn’t seem super contrary to this.
- wccrawford 7y agoIf you can flat pick a guitar for 10,000 hours without desiring to learn more and better yourself, then I claim that you are already the best you can be. You simply haven't the curiosity or drive to become better at it.
