BASICS - The First Step to Mastery

When thinking about STARTING, you will always come across the basics of
the skills that you want to acquire.

The basics are the foundation of fun. Basics in chord playing. Basics in
scale & modes memorizing. Basics in scale & modes application. Basics in
tapping, hammering, arpeggiating, sweeping, slapping etc.

Learning the basics is the key to entering the nex t step of your exploration. Get it right early and build up on that.

“To think less of yourself is a slap on your creator.”

The book “The Self-Talk Solution” by Shad Helmstetter said that w e talk to
ourselves, (I wonder… do I talk to myself? Hmmmmm…). And unfortunately,
more than 75% of w hat w e tell ourselves don’t w ork for us.

That is, instead of telling our self that “ I can do it”, we end up telling
“what if I fail?”, “what if I don’t make it?”, “what if its very hard for me?”
and all negative possibilities that the mind IMAGINE for our self.

Because of that, w e take so much time thinking about to do or not to do,
and worse end up not starting at an activity at all.


Basics may not be the best to give you fun immediately, but it will eventually and we have no choice but pass through it's stage.
