haha. i love this thread. i tell myself i suck even though i practice a lot everyday. i spread my self way too thin, though. too many styles, too many instruments. i just keep on practicing for the day i can just slap down parts i've written with a few run throughs and a take or two.
so i'm not alone.
sometimes i wish i had started with some string instrument when i was 4, like a lot of kids. i started at 15, almost 16. so these kids had a good 11 years up on me. i've only played guitar for 7 now. oh well. just keep practicing. i think i've only got a few more years to get really solid. i've slowed down on recording, because i think 4 hours of practice for eventually 5 minutes to track is better than half an hour of practice, and 4 hours of frustrated tracking.
i did it once. double tracked 4 string parts for hours, tried to edit them to be decent, failed...it took me 2 failed sessions, and 1 semi-failed session, for one song to get something editable. so now, i practice, hand gets tired, rest, practice, hand gets tired, practice...
i think my rest is over right now. see ya
