I think I agree with the concept - of course the 10,000 as a fixed number is a variable - I know that with my mandolin study, if I intentionally target practice time with new techniques then of course I will master something new, and quicker - versus just practicing the same thing over and over. Either way, the theory is sound at its core.
My guitar student read this book and explained the theory to me. I think there are too many variables to make these general claims, and it depends on the complexity of a task. Someone can put a couple minutes into learning to zip up plastic bags and master it, or try 80 years to run faster than a jet and never get there. IMO, mastery is a combination of natural gift, opportunity, effort, context of information, and falling into a perfect line of all these, which you could call destiny.
I'm hooked. Lost one, felt like I was going through withdrawal heheh. Bought a special pick holding keychain ring. I love the way they stick in my hand. I use the rounded edges. Really has changed the way I play. Felt good to shake things up.
It must be the best sounding clorox bottle then! I've tried all the picks out there, and the BC is my favorite. It sounds every bit as good and often better than my TS picks.
Good job, I am not a big fan of the Blue chip Picks, neither are Richard Or Tony for that matter xD, I asked Rice what he thought about him and this is what he said, " Might as well be playing with a Clorox bottle". But for some they are really good picks, I guess it might be because I didn't let mine break in, but I got mine for free so xD, but any ways great picking buddy, I will put up my version of this song soon ^^
love the message...I saw a very famous guitar player at a clinic once and someone asked him "gee how did you get so good?" and he said "everyone at once....PRACTICE!"
what if you spend 10000 hours doing something wrong? then you'll fail to achieve mastery

You want ultem. Jim Dunlop makes ultex (same thing) and Steve Clayton makes them.
