Hi guys,
This is a personal question I guess. I find myself feeling VERY inadequate often times. I mean, you watch movies, games, tv series, etc... and there are SO many kinds of styles of music, that you just don't have time to master. Sometimes you hear something in a style you almost never write, and it's done so well, and feels almost mysterious.
How do you handle and accept your skill level? Do you just tell yourself that you have your own style and that you just can't get around to mastering everything? Of course you will study as much as you can, with the free time you have... But I don't see how one could really get so good at every style, unless you're one of those prodigies and have the time to study music all day, in all kinds of styles. But the issue for most of us I guess, is that we do this part time, and have families, homes, day jobs, etc...
My answer is to this:
I personally handle my lack of skill poorly. I get way too stressed and feel like a fraud.
Best wishes,
Dave
