Basic anatomy. That has got to be the ongoing frustration: Why can't my fingers do what I want them to do? Not being able to play what I hear in my head - that is the ultimate source of frustration.

If someone can relate my guitar solo to an exercise in a book... that's no fun at all.

I assume most guitar players are like me. They're playing, having fun; then they get a magazine in the mail that says "Shred Is Dead" and they say, "What the Hell?" They throw it away and keep on playing.

It really sucks when music is so perfect you just don't need to hear it anymore.

It's funny how you can struggle with one piece and write a better one in a minute. When things come easy, it means it's good.
