Reply To: Does playing songs dampen progress?

Ceasar’s “Vini, Vidi, Vici” comes to mind when I see this question. My Take, “I see you when I come to the events and note that you are conquering, both play and voice.”

Do you feel like you are failing? You are not.

Is the intent to duplicate Segovia, or Emmanuel, or Molly Tuttle? Keep at it, you and I both have about 4% of their experience, and should keep going.

Learning and writing (which I am not great at yet) songs is a wonderful way to become a better player. Note the number of songwriters that play guitar to write songs.
