  • I turned 18 last week so I figured that'd be a pretty good checkpoint to see how far I've come on guitar. Ambitious projects coming soon, stay tuned!

    it seems artists are just universally embarrassed by their old creations, whether thatd be visual, musical, or performative. regardless, you have made an inhuman amount of progress! Its seriously impressive

    You are simply incredible, I never truly thought that people are talented but you got both the artistic talent and the technical one in this little time. You must've practiced a lot really to get there. People like you inspire me so much to take the guitar and play.

      i have no talent bro, no one does. talent is a myth.
      anyone can do what i do. it sounds corny but genuinely,
      you just need to believe that you can do it and then work to get there

      real man, im 19 this year and also started at 14, my idols were sungha jung and classical guitar composers lol. except I practiced so much with bad self taught form (on a badly set up acoustic, which i realised in hindsight) I gave myself tendonitis on both thumbs lmaoooo. But its really not about talent because in the 1 year hiatus I took from guitar I taught myself production too and now that I can play again I compose my own songs too! and played a couple live shows too. hard work beats a predisposed notion of "talent" being something you are born with for sure

    I was also inspired by Polyphia to pick up guitar. It's very cool to find similar people. Do you have any tips on studying guitar ?

    • @jamesstent
      @jamesstent  4 месяца назад +3

      1. you dont need to know theory to compose music
      2. learning from tabs is fine
      3. only play and practice things you find fun
      4. when learning a song, start a 40% speed and go up by 1% at a time
