The key to your success
Practice is the key to everything, but don’t just take my word for it – check out the quotes below from Confucius and Aristotle. Becoming great at anything is a well trodden path and there is lots we can learn from experts from many different walks of life.

Jake Shimabukuro
Legendary Ukulele Player
“I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.”

Paco de Lucia

“The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different colour, a different voice.”

“The more you play music, the better you’ll get”
Glen Campbell
