Free Guitar Lesson Articles by Will
Landrum |
From The Studio of Will Landrum:
These free guitar lessons are all from my personal experience as a
player.
(except for a few!)
From wanting to throw my guitar into the wall (never did - too
expensive!) to getting goose bumps because what I just played sounded so
cool.
Patience
and determination are to be cultivated. Dedication is something to be
practiced. Enjoyment and fulfillment will eventually become defined.
Believe
it or not, you not only learn to be a better player, you also learn a
lot about yourself as an individual.
Although
we all do it from time to time, don't destructively compare your playing
to your buddy's or your hero's. The only guitar player that you should
want to be better than, is yesterday's you.
