  Title : Mentality  
         
  QUESTION:  
 
Dear Marty, I am constantly dissatistfied and mad at myself at times for some technique I had just grasped, practiced it for 1 hour each day every day, then, I simply cant play it anymore for a week. I practice the guitar for 3 hours a day and I am pretty advanced but I always keep on getting a negative mentality when I can't do something I has able to play perfectly for days. What is some advice to help my mentality and anything I am doing wrong? Thank You Marty. Stefan Word
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
hahaha---it takes YEARS and YEARS before you can play at your best all the time...even then you still will only be able to play your best some of the time. So just relax about it. Music isn`t about playing your hardest techniques. Music is about making music for yourself and others. Get in a band, Good luck.
