Camana nak solo lead gitar best?
First, ramai gitaris FAIL kalau bab scales.
Cuma tahu shape beberapa je.
solo up & down tak henti-henti.
Atau cliche habis licks dia.
Atau bunyi macam scale.
Cuma kalau beberapa key saja reti.
Bagi Bbminor hancur.
So, camana?

23 years ago,
when I started music
I couldn't:
+ keep time
+ play barre chords
+ find chords by ear
+ count bars
+ jam with people
+ read music

I worked on one thing at a time.
You need:
Patience + Time + Curiosity

Perfectionism is sometimes procrastination.
Artists refuse to release something because it's not perfect.
But, perfection itself is a moving target.
If you keep improving your skills.
Your idea of 'perfect' (for your own work) moves higher.

Cara nak dapat mentor
1) Buat benda yang menarik dalam bidang awak

3) Berkenalan dgn orang yang awak hormati
4) Belajar, hadir seminar/webinar/kursus orang yang awak hormati

When you’re stressed about work or a deadline, ask yourself:
“When I’m about to die, will this matter?”
Sometimes we worry about things that don’t mean that much in the big picture.
Perspective is everything.
