When I think of the covers my friends and I did at this age...

We thought we were doing well when playing "My Baby Does the Hanky Panky"...
I stumbled across this 2 weeks ago and it keeps showing up to taunt me...

 

[GGJaguar]

That's so cool!

There are some seriously talented kids out there! I disovered this New Zealand family band when they liked liked one of my YouTube videos.

 

[walrus]

Impressive, although the second example is moreso for me since they are actually playing as a band vs playing individually for a camera.

@spoox, "Hanky Panky" is a great party song!

Any 15 year old with a year worth of guitar lessons under their belt can play better than I do.

People have always underestimated what a huge difference a year of lessons with actual thoughtful practice can do for one's skill level.

Practice, the playing of the same things everyday until you get better, it really works, and as pointed out, it can change the world.

Practice - for me - is even more powerful when you stop looking at the neck and visualize the chord changes in your mind palace.

 

[GGJaguar]

I wish I had a mind palace. I think mine is more or less a bungalow.

I’m solidly in the mind shanty realm these days.

I hear ya. I have spent 55 years wanting to play guitar badly and I have finally succeeded ...

 

[HeyMikey]

Not only can these and other kids play well, but they know how to record, edit and produce a song in their room that only a pro studio could have done back in my playing days.

Guildedagain,
While the old adage says "Practice makes perfect", it was improved many years ago by Roger Neilson, who coached in the National Hockey League.
He said, Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect."
And there is a world of difference between the two.

I really like the camera angle from the headstock of the Bass. It must clip on right next to the tuner. Very cool!

 

[DrumBob]

That was great. It helps restore my faith that the youth of today can still play rock music and hot just hip-hop and metal.

But a Neilson coached team never won the Stanley Cup!

"Word".

Bruce Lee said "I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who has practiced 1 kick 10,000 times."


(PS full disclosure I love Bruce Lee)

Walrus,
Not a good reason to ignore excellent advice.

Ditto. But I'm soulful!
