On Practice

You (we) live in a time of unprecedented access to information. You can buy perfect transcriptions of just about any major soloist, instructions methods on any topic imaginable, free information on youtube, trufire, etc. Seek and you shall find. There are no shortcuts. You, guitar, metronome, time. — Smoke, from TDPRI

Thanks to this post, I bought a used copy of a John Coltrane biography. Poster was right: no shortcuts. That's both bad and good, I guess.
