James Holmes 9 Month Progress Video

Learn More: jamesholmesonli... I began taking guitar lessons August 9, 2013 and every 3 month I post these little progress videos for two reasons. First, accountability to myself and second, because I want to inspire others to stretch beyond their comfort zones to learn something totally new. In this video I was playing with effects and tone comparing my Fender Black Top Stratocaster with my Fender 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster. The sounds are totally different as you will hear. The music is an original composition I am working on with Eric my amazing teacher. My heartfelt appreciation to Eric Davies (my teacher) and Dustin Bones (the master of awesome gear) for their support and encouragement. I also want to give props to Olivia Cruz for a month of awesome pedal effect classes which have totally expanded my vision. I am no professional... I am just a guy who is in love with music and taking risk!
Here is serious advice for manifesting what you want in your life. When it comes to intentions and goals make the time-frame 90 days so that your time-lines are short enough to keep you focused, yet long enough to verify that what you are doing is working to serve you. When your intentions or goals are based on ACHIEVEMENTS mark the start of each 90 day period (at the end of 60 days you 'start' the final 30) and when they are based on a RESULTS mark the end of each 90 day period. There is a huge difference in these two things... ACHIEVEMENTS an ongoing process of improvement in your present or future and RESULTS are in your past. Measuring achievements and results are both important but they are not the same.
