MUSICIANS: STOP SEARCHING.

By Guillermo Cides

For those who keep asking me about my technique, it’s all in the fingers.
It was always like this. Practice your fingers, the duration of the notes, and the exits and entrances of each of them. The manual volume of each sound, the brotherhood that exists between one chosen note and another, that mathematical and universal combination that still has no explanation. The strength of each finger has the power of a galaxy; they have something to say, something that not even the musician himself knows. Stop looking for sound formulas, bizarre techniques, and magical solutions to play and get more clicks on YouTube. Abandon demonstration videos and record live videos, where the error can be part of the music. Take risks. Search through the notes desperately. There is no guitarist equal to another. One stickista is not the same as another. They are different like people are different, and the only thing that will remain over time is the emotion of one of them.
That’s all.
hugs,

G.C.
