Especially at a young age, you get under the impression that practicing is boring. Many have that misconception. I had that misconception until sophomore year of high school and then I accidentally figured out how immensely addicting practicing can be. Improving yourself for hours and hours like weight training.
I remember practicing for performances and getting to the point where my lips are numb.
I just practiced guitar for 2 hours and I can't feel my fingertips. They're so raw I can barely pick up my credit card.
A gentle reminder to all my friends that just like you can over train in a fitness perspective you can also over practice! Practice makes permanent so make sure you're in the right mindset to practice and that you've rested and can use your best head to process what you're practicing. Unpracticing is a process that is about five times harder to do than regular practicing so get it right the first time my friends.
I'm just going to sit around trying to practice guitar and cry out in pain every time because of my fingertips. Whoops.
