    I usually make errors when improvising. I really like the fact that you didn't cut the parts where you made mistakes, it actually takes some guts! it feels nice to see that I am not alone! Thanks!

    • @TheKlaun9
      @TheKlaun9 Год назад +10

      Embrace the errors. I think one of the worst attitudes towards an instrument is being scared of making mistakes. You have to push yourself well beyond what you can do in order to improve. Sure, during a life gig, you perhaps should play what's comfortable, but during practice or during jamming, if you never make mistakes - you never learn anything. Seen people freeze up on the instrument as soon as they're not satisfied with their result. Huge mistake, they never get anywhere. And then on stage, you're hot, your hands are sweaty, you're nervous, your band mates mess up, you can't hear yourself, your equipment isn't working properly - you'll make mistakes, better know how to deal with them. Any guitarist who hides them is a fool. You can watch John Mayer's live streams - he makes more mistakes than I do tbh and streams them to the largest fanbase any guitarist in the world enjoys.
