I don’t really agree with the book but I always get annoyed with articles and studies that misrepresent the idea. It’s 10000 hours of _deliberate practice_.

It has a lot to do with why so many amateur guitar players can't keep a beat and don't know how to play over chord changes (which is also why so many metal solos are over a single unchanging chord).
- kwooding 4y agoThe way it’s often been quoted to me: “practice makes permanent.” Or, put another way, “perfect practice makes perfect.” It absolutely matters what you practice, or you’re just training your fingers to stumble at the same spot every time, which is exactly what I did for decades before being introduced to deliberate practice.
