“To be normal is the ideal aim of the unsuccessful.”
-Carl Jung
"Damn, I love me some guitar!"
Taking guitar lessons, learning licks from friends, and imitating the greats is something that we definitely advocate. But be sure that the reasons you are playing guitar or music are not just to fit into the collective aims of what people think guitar players should do or be.
Don’t be afraid to disagree with your teachers and colleagues. Try new things. Approach things differently. Be weird. Be crazy. Be yourself.
Just don’t be normal.
PS. Here is a great blog, Lateral Action, that you should be reading to expand your creativity. Check it out. They do a great job over there.

I deffo relate to that…(Jung is damn right.have a look around you!)
I wonder if someone on Earth disagreed with teachers and questioned authority more than I did!
Where am I now?I have no clue.What have I got?Not even a friend,but guitars and ideas…that’s all I want.What I need doesn’t matter…
