Those that can, DO

Those that can't, TEACH

And those that can't teach, ADMINISTRATE

None of this really true or mean anything other than agreeing with what has already been said. Just because a teacher can't perform a certain function does not mean they can't teach it. And the bottom line is that most teachers I ever met were pretty good at doing but just not necessarily at everything.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83072 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83068 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 19:12:28 +0000
A basketball coach may not have more talent than the players, but she/he knows basketball and can make the players better. A golf instructor is not going to make a a basketball player better. That was my point.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Qrious https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83068 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83052 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 17:35:09 +0000
I mean, think about sports stars... think their coaches can do a lay-up better, or hit a baseball better? Actors, singers, even CEOs have coaches who aren't known for talent - they're known for the ability to bring latent talent to fruition.

I'm not suggesting you consider teachers who can't play worth a dang - but don't discount one who's not up to your level in an area you don't need to learn. If Yngwie Malmsteen came to me for lessons, I could probably show him a thing or two, even though he's faster than I am. If David Gilmour showed up for lessons, I probably couldn't give him anything useful - even though I'm faster than he is.

Don't confuse style with substance, or form with function :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83052 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83050 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 17:27:54 +0000 teacher has not only talent, but talent relative to the direction in which you want to grow.

If I want to become a better basketball player, I'm probably not going to hire Tiger Woods, as great a golfer as he is, as a trainer.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Qrious https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83050 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83042 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 16:54:42 +0000

So if you play anything well, even if it's Mary Had a Little Lamb, then play that.

Good luck and most of all have fun.]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83030 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83026 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 15:20:21 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion DayZd https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-83026 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/uh-oh/#post-6083 Tue, 04 Jan 2005 15:17:28 +0000
