About This Quote

If you were to ask any musician or musician-in-training what is the hardest thing about playing their instrument, most would tell you that it’s learning new songs, learning new techniques, and learning how to form your own personal style. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that many musicians end up quitting the music business because they don’t like the music business. And while most musicians have to deal with their own problems in life, most don’t have to deal with being told they suck by people who are more accomplished than them.
