I can assure you of that without even knowing who you are, how old you are or how much you know about ,msuic/guitar. It just takes time and practise man. I believe strongly there is very little 'gift' involved - it's all just persistence. Innate talent is a bit of a cop out i believe. YOU EARN THAT TALENT THROUGH HARD WORK!! I didn't even pick up guitar until later in my life as I always played piano but I could almost approach what this guy was doing in
@Nicholas-qz7vx4 жыл бұрын
While tommy emmanuel is probably one of the best guitarist in the world, if not THE best, you'd be suprised at how little separates a good musician from a GREAT one.... It's little things, things that are hard to point out but add up to more than the sum of their parts. Getting to be a good musician and approximating what he's doing is easier than you'd think but going that little bit extra with it - THAT is really tough.
