If you are frustrated over not being good enough in whatever musical endeavor you take, this is normal. It is normal for people to be frustrated, even musical geniuses gets frustrated. The thing with this is, knowing how to deal with this frustration. Are you letting this eat you all up? Or are you going to use this to your advantage? It doesn’t take a genius to answer that question. Of course, the most positive thing to do is to use it to your advantage. Let it inspire you more. You see Satriani noodling on his guitar like a maniac and it frustrates you, making you think you’ll never get there, use it to your advantage, think on the reverse, Satriani did it, Satriani is human, I am human, and therefore I can do it too. Use simple logic, this works. Don’t get frustrated over things that you never tried as hard as other people. Those guitar players are what they are now because they turned these frustrations into something good. They were what they are now because they tried harder than others, and they are only human, definitely human. So therefore, you , me and Satriani has no difference at all, except for the fact that he’s already there, but when we acquire the right attitude over these problem, we could be able to get there, someday, with Satriani.
