This will be my shortest blog to date and it simply says – Your attitude goes a long way to learning to play by ear. It’s a mindset if you will. I have heard it said that “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” I have found this to be so true. Your attitude determines who you are and helps to define what you do in life.
If you have a defeatist attitude, you will be defeated. If you have a negative attitude you will have negative experiences all the time. The inverse is also true. If you have a positive attitude about yourself and about life and the things in life, then you will definitely be able to do so much more than you can imagine. Thoughts?
I’m smiling as I think positive. I know that today will be another opportunity to Play It By Ear
Awesome post! Be thankful for what we have and spread some cheer. Sending you some positive vibes….
Thanks Eric. I totally appreciate it
Absolutely! Attitude can change your life!
I love this! I come from a family who has an uncanny gift of being able to play any instrument they pick up and all who can do this, play by ear. My dad and uncle mastered 13 instruments by ear! Two of my boys – one who made it to the American Idol try outs, round 3 – play strictly by ear. And you’re right. Attitude is everything and I’m happy to report their attitudes “rock!’ 😉
Great post.
Stopping by from UBC on FB. 🙂
Thanks Magical Mystical Mimi. My dad played several instruments and he was the one who started me playing by ear on the guitar and piano. I had to have the right attitude to learn the things I did. Thanks for stopping by and good Luck with the boys…
Spot on! Attitude is everything. I always look for things to be happy about during the day and it really makes a difference. Glad to see you looking so happy in the photo!!
Thanks Andrea. I needed the photo for the blog, so I snapped one real quick. I almost always have a positive attitude so it was easy to snap this one.
