I guess I just never had the patience to put in the 10,000 hours it would have taken.
Thats the thing. A lot of it is wasted time. All I ever wanted to do was make some noise. That’s why I didn’t study music theory, which I regret. Then I ended up in some bands but there were man many hours of wasted time, sitting around playing the same stuff repeatedly. Not that I regert it. Or regret it.
