Welcome to /c/guitars! Let's show off our new guitar pics, ask questions about playing, theory, luthier-ship, and more!

Please bring all positive vibes to the community and leave the toxic stuff elsewhere.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you... It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long
And in the end
It's only
With yourself.
