Ep17 – The Rules of the Asylum: Rule #5 – Why You Must Ignore the “Talent Myth”

In my experience, the best way to learn guitar is to focus on proper technique, play the songs you love, jam with others, and develop rock-solid self-belief. In today’s episode of the Acoustic Asylum, we are talking about the topic of self-belief… and specifically why you MUST ignore the “talent myth”.

 

Many guitarists believe they do not have enough talent or that they were not born with the necessary skills to succeed on the guitar. Some of you may be conscious of these thoughts, but most people are not.

 

In this episode, I share four examples with you of why I firmly believe “talent is overrated”. There are some surprising stories from the likes of Mozart, Clapton, and others.

 

Give it a listen, soak up the info, and if you do, you may find your journey on how to learn guitar will be that much more enjoyable.
