Apple_man got a question and I loved it. I said I have to request for my peeps on the internet webs. “I have been playing the guitar for eight years by ear; that is pretty impressive, by ear. Should I go back and learn proper strumming patterns?” What would you do? Would you go back and learn proper strumming patterns?
Male 1: If it made me better guitar then yes I would.
Walt: That is the way to answer. That is it guys. Okay. Never, short term profit for long term losses. So, to continue this, so what I would do is absolutely and I understand, but here is how works is that you got to take two steps backwards before you take three steps forward. Right? So take your time, pull back and break that bad habit because you are hitting with threshold and maybe you are not hitting it now or maybe you are, what this mean what guys you are thinking or maybe, you know, like that, you are going to be hitting that threshold in two years where your strumming pattern will be right or something.
So what you want to do is today, like tonight, I want you to, like, learn. You have eight years, but you were doing eight years incorrectly. See what is happening is that you have to see it through a leverage though, Apple. Okay. Let us say this is the official Apple meter. Okay. So this is like, beginner and this is advanced. Well, you can get to the advanced strumming pattern until you learn it correctly. And after eight years, you may have gotten here, right, but if you ever want to play advance music, you are going to have to take two steps backwards in order to take three steps forward. And this is with everything. It is not just strumming. It is with everything.
I mean I can tell you a hundred times, even with things like, you know, if I set up my website incorrectly and then if you just let it sit back, it is not going to heal itself. So what you are going to do is that you got to answer the problem right now because here is how it works man, it is at the sooner you tackle it, the sooner you are going to accomplish it. Okay.
So, I know, I understand eight years of doing the incorrect strumming pattern, but think of eight years from now, you will have been doing the correct the strumming pattern or we shoot for the stars, aim for the fences. Shoot for the stars and you will land on the moon. So, that is how I would do it. Is it important to change your strumming pattern? Yes, I would do it man and just take it slow, everyday. How important is everyday?
Male 1: Everyday, it is probably the most important thing.
Walt: Yes it is. Now, have you done any strumming patterns in like incorrect or you are any thing sort of like you have done wrong and I am sure you learn you are wrong.
So, that is what I will do. Is there anything specific Apple? “No, I know now it pretty much”. Oh! He knew it. He just want to hear it. That is what it is all about. It is all about putting together—
Male 1: You know the answer but it is better to hear it from someone else agreeing with you, do you know what I mean?
Walt: I think that is what life is about man. I think that people know the answers to life.
Male 1: They just want to hear somebody else agree with them.
Walt: Yes, that real.
Male 1: That real.
Walt: So true.
Male 1: So true.
Walt: All right, let us get to beat. Let us get the beat boys question right here.
