But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
At least you know there are things you don't know you don't know.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

I think I could handle the 3 hours a day for nine years, but I don't think I have the years left. I'm not even buying green bananas these days! 
Do you eat a banana while watching your favorite news show... 30 minutes?
I don't watch news shows anymore. History just keeps repeating itself - only the names change.

Festus Hagan Said it best: "Well Mathew, how do you know if you know something... if you don't know whether you know if you know it or not"??

Just a point of view.
I am a multi instrumentalist, what I have learnt is that you dont need to "master an instrument" in order to sound good and have fun. Sure you do need musicality - good timing and an understanding of how to fit in with a sound, but you can even on a fast moving tune, get away with something simple and effective. You can go a long way with simple triads.
Its all in the approach, dont learn complex guitar riffs of by heart to begin with, learn some harmony basics then get those triads moving over a chord, and you'll soon be dancing.
A maxim I have developed is 'if you can learn something simpler, then learn that first'.
BTW I dont mean to say that you should not master your instrument, just that you dont need to, to get a good sound. You can get something going sooner than you think.

What you practice is at least as important as how long you practice.
Performing also really sharpens your skills - that's when you find out how good you really are.
10,000 hours in the woodshed going over the same old licks isn't the best way to go - and it sure doesn't sound like fun!
Cheers!
Cheers! -Alastair

I agree. And for clarity Alistair, the idea certainly isn't 10,000 hrs. of wood-shedding or practicing 'the same old licks'. Honestly that isn't practical / realistic in pursuing mastery of any kind and wouldn't produce results. In this case it is just the contrary. Malcolm uses the idea of practice as a point of importance in regards to anyone's chosen field. For musicians, the 'mechanics' are a must, there is no way around the practice time. As an 'artist' on the other hand, we can be medicore or OK or adequate musicians, but generate great works as a songsmith, producer etc.. I have always differentiated between and artist and musician as I spent years as an artist and now am working at becoming a competent musician.
The truth is, for those who love their work or rather have passion in their work, the hours come simply by day to day engrossment. Only a few are so fortunate to have found a clear vision for their loves and have made it their careers. These are often the ones who are considered truly masters in their fields. Passionate Scientists spend countless hours in the lab...many days without days off, not just 8-10 hrs and go home. Some architects are that way, psychologists, golfers etc. Making our 'practice' or our work our way of life is the premise.
Have a great week!~

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
