Many of you have been noticing that I’ve been practicing my guitar more. Learning theory, scales, and stuff. Taking my guitar playing up to more of an advanced level. Yes, I do want to become a virtuoso musician. That was the whole point of me wanting to pick up the guitar to begin with. It takes years of practice and learning to become a “virtuoso”, and I’ve been trying to get there for 17 years now. It has been 17 years I’ve been playing guitar now. While I feel my guitar playing level is in more of an intermediate level, I still got lots of work to do.

I just want to play great like my heroes, ya know? I wanna be like Jimmy Page, Hendrix, Satriani, and Neil Young. I want to be an all around professional someday. I want to become an expert at music theory, and everything. Become an actual musician. Have a good ear and be a good improviser at lead guitar. All that stuff.

One day I will get there. While learning music is easy to learn, it’s just a lot of practice and so much memorizing. It can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. You don’t become a full fledged virtuoso right away. Sometimes it takes more than 20 years to get there. Those guys that I listed, they’ve been playing for years before they got there.

I like to be honest with my own talent. It’s good to be that way.
