\u201cIt is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Warren Buffett<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Warren Buffett has become a financial icon. Over his lifetime, he has amassed investments worth billions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he\u2019s no wizard. He has no clever tricks. No superpowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to his long term success is this: He invests in companies with strong foundations. And then he stays with the investments for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s said he makes perhaps three decisions a year. He\u2019s not scrolling through Youtube looking for the next big idea. He\u2019s not bouncing from this to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he finds something he believes in, and sticks with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In guitar, we can model this. We can do the same. And like Buffett, we\u2019ll see massive returns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us as musicians this translates to fundamentals. How do we move our hands? What is our technique? How do we engage the string?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we can find a trustworthy, safe, reliable strategy for right-hand technique<\/a>, it\u2019s all we need. We can practice this for a few minutes each day and know that we are laying the tracks for a lifetime of great playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, we can build the skills that will serve us over the long haul. We can learn to sightread musical notation<\/a>. We can learn the vocabulary and language of music. We can master rhythm. We can listen to varied styles of music \u2013 even if only to understand how it is different than other styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And besides focusing on fundamentals, we can identify what NOT to do<\/a>. We can learn the common mistakes guitarists make. Then we can avoid them at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include poor technique and unfocused practice. And bouncing from one thing to the next before seeing the desired results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the biggest mistake we can avoid is an erroneous concept of what guitar practice is<\/a>. It\u2019s not always entertainment. It\u2019s intentional work toward a future result. It\u2019s solving tough problems. It\u2019s repetition under the microscope. It\u2019s honing and polishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warren Buffett does not jump ship on the days when it doesn\u2019t go well. The days come and go. Some are up and some are down. Guitar practice may be the same in this respect. Some days everything comes together easily. Other days it feels like we\u2019ve regressed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, the trend is up. And if we hold true to solid fundamentals, we break through all barriers. Obstacles eventually dissolve or detours present themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if we can continue to show up and sit down with the guitar<\/a>, we reap the benefits of a life well-spent with music. We enjoy the fruits that only come from the compound interest of deliberate practice over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
