Not being afraid of failure and doing what you believe in not what other people expect of you seems to come through loud and clear.
Interesting comment by Hendrix on dealing with praise and adulation

To whoever is reading this: Self-doubt is normal. Your work is valid. You can do it. Don't give up.

NEVER give up..

Several years a go, I had a stroke. Had to relearn everything. Walking, talking ect...everyone said I'd never be able to play a guitar or piano again.
7 years later...not quite back to the skill level I had before, but can still play.
Never give up. Keep working, practice and enjoy it...

That is why Queen and Freddie managed to become legends. They did what they loved, did it for themselves and never listened to other peoples' advice. They had trust in themselves because they knew how good they were and did what they considered the right thing, went also out of their comfort zone, had no fear of failure and never rested on their laurels.

I feel like just reaching that one person is all that matters. If you can get one person to gain some sort of positivity from your music than you are successful

All of this wonderful advice isn’t just for musicians. It’s for anyone with a dream they can’t let go of!

that david bowie one was really nice. thats why i started playing in the first place. i had no outlet in life, no way of expressing myself. he said it right

[DJMerck]

That Steve Vai speech at Guitar Center is one of the best motivational speeches for musicians you'll ever find on YouTube!..

Brian May said the truth. Fame is nothing. If your trying to be famous you’ll screw up because your not thinking about the music. If you think about the music whether or not you screw up least you’ll improve next time.

I think some people just have it. I know people who play gigs every weekend for the last decade and every time I pop in its the same thing, never gets better. And then there's a young new guy that just has it and takes the stage. A lot of talent out there that people have and don't jump on it.

"you just gotta keep playin man" -EVH

A young musician in NY City asks an older musician, "Sir, can you please tell me how do you get to Carnegie Hall?", the older musicians response, "practice, practice, practice. " That's an old joke that has been around a long time. So, when preparation meets opportunity, good things often follow.

A lot of this advice applies to so much more then just guitar playing

[idiotsandwich]

I really want to make music too so that motivates me a lot

[missdvdplayer]

"love that guitar as much as you do your wife and then you'll learn how to play that thing" best quote in there 😂😂😂

Priceless man...thank you for uploading...

This video really helps, since I recently discovered that passion they are talking about. Awesome video!

[musicgirl]

That was some good advice. It can be applied to more than music. I really appreciated, in particular, what Brian and the next two gentleman said . That helps 😊 Thanks for posting 🙂. 🌺

This is advice coming from legends, the best musical advice you can receive.

[Themanincumbent]

Musicians fall into roughly 2 categories, those that want to play music and those that want to create music. What ever category you are in you will need to put in a lot of work and practise and you will only do that if you have the passion. I started playing an instrument when I was about 10 years old, in my teenage years I became obsessed and would practise and play for up to 8 hrs a day, yet I always thought it was a phase I was going through and as I aged I would grow out of it. Yet here I am in my 60’s and still playing, though only few hours a week these days. I have always created music and can testify if you indulge your passion you will find your perfect moment when you play a selection of notes that will touch your inner soul and effect you on a deeply spiritual level, and the funny thing will be you will be the only person listening at that time and you will never be able to recapture that moment, but all the hard work you put will make it deeply worthwhile. So I say indulge your passion even if you do not think you have the passion.
