There are two critical factors in becoming a top-notch guitarist (or musician of almost any sort):
1) Practice - Research indicates that it takes about 10,000 hours of dedicated practice to become world-class at a skill like playing musical instrument.
2) An early start - A person who does not start playing a musical instrument until after about age 13 has very little chance of becoming world-class. Neurological changes occur around that age that preclude someone from learning world-class skills unless they have already started.
Example: exceptional athlete and fanatical worker Michael Jordan could not learn to hit major league pitching, because he didn't seriously play baseball when he was young.
Also, it helps if your hearing isn't too sensitive....;-D....

You're reading Do you believe that a guitarist who is self-taught and really dedicated to practicing can be as good or even better than a guitarist who was taught how to play by an instructor?
