i still don’t consider myself a great guitarist, and i still haven’t gotten to writing actual full songs… but i feel like recently i’ve gotten a lot better at it. i feel like i finally sort of have a musical identity with the things i do come up with, and my physical skill with the instrument feels a lot better than it was even a few months ago, which has led to me feeling a lot more comfortable just playing and expressing myself with the instrument, and it makes me want to properly record stuff and share my playing with the world. and this is after like 8-9 years of playing guitar (with some periods having much higher activity admittedly, and being self-taught, but still consistently picking up the guitar and keeping the interest over a long period of time at the end of the day). is it normal for a years-long artistic plateau to suddenly just… end??

in reply to @stardustreverie's post:
sometimes it means you were making progress the whole time, just invisibly to you. othertimes, maybe something else in life changed that let you move on.
i think it was a little of column A, little of column B. difficult to describe. i think ultimately what did let me move on was deciding to take a slightly different approach to it from what i had been for a while, which i think was spurred on by external factors, but i absolutely was making improvements without realizing
Yes. Plateaus that end after time are a normal part of all skill development
:3 !!
guess i’m doing something right then, hehe
