When you witness a musician playing with incredible skill and precision, effortlessly commanding their instrument, it’s easy to wonder how many hours of practice it took to reach that level of mastery.
It’s true: practice makes perfect. Whether you’re singing or playing guitar, dedicating time to practice yields results.
This holds for even the most famous musicians. No matter how accomplished you are, there’s always room to improve, fine-tune your abilities, and maintain your edge. Even someone like Jimi Hendrix had to put in the work.
John Fogerty, the legendary founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival, is no exception. A recent video posted on his social media shows him practicing on a stunning Ibanez guitar, focusing on his tapping technique. In the caption, Fogerty wrote:
“Morning routine. John still practices every day – even in the hallways. Always working on being the best musician he can be.”
It’s no surprise that Fogerty has produced timeless classics like “Proud Mary” and “Fortunate Son.” His daily commitment to practice serves as a reminder that putting in even just a small amount of time each day can help any musician improve.
