Learning DNS in 10 Years
It took me 40 years to get this good at guitar. So naturally, I&#x27;m fairly good at playing the guitar. Or I suppose that&#x27;s an understatement. I&#x27;m probably better than most people on this entire forum, yet I never practised a single day in my life.<p>Well, obviously that&#x27;s why it took so long to get good lol! But I think there&#x27;s also a lesson in it because it&#x27;s also the reason why I kept on doing it, when everybody else quit. So, in that sense you could say the real reason I&#x27;m this good at playing the guitar today, is simply because I never quit.<p>But at the same time, I never really tried hard either. The entire journey has been about enjoyment and problem solving. It was never about the pressure to achieve anything. Instead, it was always about enjoyment and “zero pressure” problem solving, that is problem solving akin to solving some jigsaw puzzle. So, a pleasurable thing! And that&#x27;s why I don&#x27;t strictly consider it “practising” though it probably is. The rest of the time I&#x27;d just enjoy the tunes, and the singing and the good vibes.<p>I should probably add that I was never motivated to play the guitar because of chicks, or because I wanted to become a rock star. That&#x27;s very hard to do when you grow up in a poor home, and the only thing you got was a crummy old acoustic guitar.<p>The cool guys all had electric guitars, and to them they weren&#x27;t tools to become excellent at playing guitar. Instead, they were tools to get laid, or get popular, but not good at playing the guitar. So naturally, today none of the guys who had those fancy electrical guitars play guitar anymore, while I do. And now I&#x27;m better than them. Way better. (But still no Polyphia, but then I&#x27;d have to practise!)
