Willie Crisel · From: Charlotte, Tennessee, USA

been recording myself today,,the last time i did was about 7 months ago,,i practice a few songs for awhile then put it down in 1 take on a little 4 track,,the tape from 7 months ago is Horrible,,while the one today is not too bad,big tone improvement,,lots of new licks,,volume pedal is alot better,,been playing average of 4 hours a day for those 7 months,,that's 840 more hours,,i was gonna quit the last time i recorded myself,,sure glad i stuck it out,,,i figure at almost 3 years now i've got,,2700 hours in,,in 10 years that's about 10'000 hours,,i'm thinking at about 5000 hours it starts getting pretty good,,so for all you beginners like me,,stick with it,,it will get alot better,,,,thanks

excellent Willie.I don't know if you need all them hours but daily seat time is the ticket.

I guess if ya put it into hours I can lay claim to about 200 hours at the stuff I have been working on since last November... Although I am not trying to make any claims here but the difference is..well..now I can and back then I couldn't...it's that black and white....

keep up the good work

thanks for the support tony,,i hope i didn't come across like i'm bragging or something,,i was just excited to see an improvement,i also only work 4 days a week and have a supportive wife and no kids,so i am blessed with extra time,

I don't think keeping track of your time is a good thing...you may use it someday to calculate your 'return on investment' or your 'net wage' when you get paying gigs - and you'll get really depressed.

Willie.. just hang in there.. Its a tough instrument to get a handle on.

The more hours behind it= better ability to play it. I think you have a great attitude!!

I am glad you didn't give it up.. from what you posted here, I think you are going to be just fine!! bob

Hours count, but successful takeoffs and landings count too.
