Guitarists And Their Music That Changed The World! Tweet

Chet Atkins	Hank Marvin	Les Paul

What do these three men have in common?  

When I asked my nineteen year-old niece this question, her response was, "Durr....They play the guitar!"

She was 100% correct of course and being so young she was not expected to know any more than that. But what about you - what do you say they have in common?

Would you agree that they:

	are three of the world's master guitarists?
	have influenced more people to learn & master the guitar than any others?
	have been the dominant driving influence behind guitar sales in the past 60 years?
	been the pioneers in their genre of music and made it as popular as what it is today?
	the reason that Gretsch, Fender and Gibson are three of the most popular selling guitar brands of all time?

Or how about these three men?   

Chuck Berry	James Burton	Eric Clapton

The list could go on couldn't it?

But here's another thing they all have in common:

	There was a time when none of them knew how to play the guitar.
	But they thought they would have a go and learn it.
	Because they had a go they developed a passion for playing the guitar.
	They learned to master the guitar.
	Their personal dreams became realities.
	They have brought countless hours of listening enjoyment to others.

So have a look at these 6 dot-points above again.

CreativeArtisticDiscovery believes you can do that. The only difference between these people and yourself is, they got started. Once they got started they kept going - they did not give up.

People say, "you need talent." No, you need belief in yourself and desire. There are plenty of talented guitarists in the world, but they have not progressed very far and they never will. Why not? Well, it has nothing to do with their ability, but rather, it has to do with their believabilty and desirability. In other words, their biggest stumbling block is in their thinking rather than their doing.

It is said that there are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. It's true. That is the major difference between those who succeed and those who don't - in the guitar world just as it is everywhere else.

If you have been putting off taking that first step in learning to play and master the guitar for any reason, the chances are it has more to do with your thinking also, rather than your ability.

By the way, you don't need a Gretsch or a Fender or a Gibson guitar to start with. The people at your local music shop will be more than willing to advise you on which guitar comfortably suits your hands, plus your budget.
