Pro tip: If you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of things a musician needs to learn, just take a step back. Play something that you really like. At the end of the day what matters is if you're having fun.
I consider being a musician a special privilege I was given. I played semi pro until my mid 50s, lived in SF. For me playing music is part of my life. Now I'm retired and can play 🎸 all day long! My advice to young musicians is keep learning and moving forward. The more you keep at it the more opportunities will come along. They will come, you just need to be ready when they do.
Will be 60 this year, Don't feel like it. far from. A long time ago I started not to take myself too serious about it. Helped a lot. Still learning and enjoying this endless voyage. Even more now. Happy bday maestro.
I’m 28, a bass player. I like what you said about finding the gigs first and the band will follow. I’ve been struggling with getting the band together before getting the gigs. This advice will change my life. Thanks for your posting this video.
I started a music career by accident. A friend asked me to play for their wedding. Fortunately piano and singing came easy. I employed top studio musicians. I site read. Having charts was super important. We never rehearsed but I recorded the gigs and improved that way. My mother was playing gigs till 95. Fats Waller and Debussy, Bach and Irish jigs and reels. In love with life. That's what music does. 🎶 🎵
@@DarioNapoliGuitarLearning musical instruments is my passion at 77. Guitar is my obsession. Everyday. Soon as I wake up. Only stop for exercise and food. I feel like a teen-ager. No need to make money or be famous. Gigging was showmanship rather than creative. Doing what the audience wanted is the profession and deserves being well paid. Being on TV was stressful. Rehearsal was the real reward.
Happy Birthday, Dario. I met you at the festival in Ramelton in Ireland a few years ago, I was 25 at the time and was near the beginning of my journey in Gypsy Jazz. Your playing and what you said was very inspiring to me and encouraged me to keep going and working. I am 32 years old now and will keep working at getting better at gypsy jazz and playing and writing music in general 😊
@mattdowie92 ciao Matt, thank you! Yes of course, I remember very well! Wow, 32, you are still so young and you were already very good at 25, never stop, you have the best yet to come! All the best, will be curious to hear you and see your progress🙏🎶😊
@DarioNapoliGuitar thank you, Dario. It is great to follow you on TH-cam now to learn from you. Have a great birthday. It is good to take the attitude that we are in this thing for life and can keep making progress and enjoying it!
You definitely haven't failed at all, playing with masters like Stochelo is a dream to me. Music to me is a life long journey, is a long time faithful friend that never let's me down or turn its back on me. I don't play guitar or music in general professionally and I can't imagine making it till this day without music in my life.
Happy 50th. I’m a professional guitarist the same age as you who’s been in the game for about the same time, although I chose music as a full time career since I was 13 years old. I’ve been an MD now on a cruise ship for the last 16 years and still feel a deep and never ending love affair with guitar. I admire all musicians on their journey. It’s a personal relationship and should not feel like a competition. The more you play the more you are able to express yourself.
Great reflections. Thank you for sharing and happy birthday! I’m a 65-year-old adult violin learner. Only started any sort of music when I turned 40.

SO many good points. I booked my first gig before I was ready, 6 years later I am getting closer and closer to being a full-time musician. IF you're just starting, HANG IN THERE! It's a marathon!
Thank you for this video. I think it probably comes just at the right time in my life. I've given up on 2 jobs this year, being jobless and staying at home for a couple of weeks.

Happy Birthday Dario! These insights are priceless. I wish someone had told me a lot of what you're saying a long time ago. But as you said.... everyone's journey is different.
Happy birthday my friend 🥳💚 Music has no retirement age, so 50 is no age at all! In my eyes you are highly successful in your life. You are living your dream, as well as bringing joy to so many people through live shows, recordings and sharing your knowledge online or in person ✨🎶
Congratulations on the big "50" Great that you share your knowledge and wisdom with all, you deserve the success and respect thats coming your way! Thanks for another great video with unique and inspirational content 🎂👋
Thank you so much for making this video, I am 25 and this is exactly what I needed to hear. It’s true, comparison is the thief of joy, and music is a journey of a million miles that is taken step by step. For me I have no desire for money or fame from music, I am a computer science student who found a passion in music much like computers for the surface level simplicity and endless depth they both provide. My goal with music and the root of my passion is in being unhindered in my artistic expression with whatever my instrument of choice. I have spent several years dissecting music theory and trying to incorporate concepts into my play through guitar and piano, and most recently have had a lot of people encouraging me to play live, or record myself which I have begun to do. Sometimes I feel like I upload a piece of music and wish I did more with it, I fixate on all the little mistakes and wear down my fingers to try and rectify them. It doesn’t happen over night and giving up is the easy way out and doing myself a disservice to something I love and hold so dearly in life. I’m sure there are pieces I will revisit in the coming years to document how far I’ve come, and your video helps me to appreciate where I’m at in the road despite not being the best at anything. I would love to meet you one day it seems you have a lifetime of wisdom to bestow and thanks again for sharing!
@alexleonard5601 Thank you so much for your comment Alex. It would be a pleasure. I think it's critical to find peace and balance with music along with life, to find joy in the journey, regardless of whether it's a professional or not. All the best in your current journey, hope to cross paths soon😜🎶
Happy birthday! And much respect for keeping at it! My advice would be... create the right circumstances for yourself. If you need to sing loud, but your neighbors have a problem, then dont stay in that situation. Get a rehearsal space or even move away. You need to protect your art, often times nobody else will. Cheers!
Beautifully made video man, I'm 24 and this hits hard :D I'd be lying if I said I haven't debated "careers" multiple times in my life, can only hope I stumble across something. Thank you for making this though, it helps a lot to know that you can be happy and enjoy music as a touring musician. Keep up the work!
Happy birthday sir. I’m 21 right now, and those are words that I needed to hear. I’ve been struggling with “comparison syndrome” lately and this video really helps. Stay blessed and enjoy
A very inspiring video, and one that I needed to see. I'm planning to quit the day job at the end of the year to purse music full time, so naturally my head has been all full of a million things - this video has given me the perspective I needed. 😊 Thank you and happy birthday!🎉
Thank you so much for sharing this. You are a gem. Don't care about the views, not everyone can recognize.a diamond when the see, it so is your channel. Keep making videos like this...
Thanks for the insight and it's just what I needed now (about to turn 60 very soon). The point about a flower not growing faster or even dying with too much water is absolutely beautiful and fitting.
Thanks for share your knowledge. All the advices have an immense value for me. I want to be more professional in this career and hear your experiences and see that you're happy with, it's great.
Thank you Mr Dario, I really appreciate the wisdom you are sharing with us, it is truly priceless and life changing, Thank you so much. As 23 year old aspiring full-time musician there is so much I resonate with here 🛐📝💯
Happy Bithday Dario, I found out that we have more things common than I thought ... Almost 50, 2006 old car, TV, great friends between TOP players and many more ... There are many good and useful thoughts in this video that speak from my heart ... thanks for that video my friend. I hope to see you somewhere. Greets Tomas
@tomashonsa-swingtet4322 Dear Tomas, thank you so much for tuning in! Hehe, wow I haven't seen you in too long, btw, if you're not too far, on May 27 I play with my trio at the Khamoro Festival in Prague!
We share a similar path with tennis. I only played D2 but also coached tennis for quite a few years (I'm 54 now). I look back and remember only doing choir in high school when I had opportunities to do other musical activities, but instead I pursued sports and especially tennis due in large part to family influence as we were all a bunch of gym rats. In retrospect I wish I had primarily focused on music, put it first, and demoted sports to a distant second, kind of like what I'm hearing you say. But I wonder if we had done that if we would love making music as much as we do now? Regarding your tennis, most people don't understand the commitment it takes for a junior to play D1 as you did. You had to get your 10k hours in to get to that level, so music definitely was taking a back seat. On the other hand, tennis is an amazing school master to teach you that you can do something that's extremely difficult, such as tennis or finger style guitar, which have tiny margins for error, if you put in the work and are disciplined. I'd like to think your tennis background helped to inform this in you. What an amazing journey! Thanks for posting your video!
@WSBM absolutely 1000%! I believe my experience in tennis is the primary reason I was able to have a career in music later, I very much appreciate your input and you are so right, for me music and tennis are like parallel, very similar processes really. Everything I applied to tennis I was also applying in music l, dealing with nerves in performances, endless hours of practice, routines, perseverance, fighting through adversity, traveling, all not it. Thank you for sharing some of your story with me, pleasure to meet people that share similar paths😊🙏
@@DarioNapoliGuitar I'm chuckling at the point you made about nerves! LOL! It's such a perfect parallel how there's the same fight or flight nerves with tennis as the court truly is a stage, and all the same butterflies and nerves present there as in music. We used to say coaching tennis, if you can't do the skill in a match (at a tournament or a dual match), you don't really have the skill yet. Lots of skills we can do in the practice room that when we get in front of others can vanish in a puff of smoke if the muscle memory isn't there. If our paths ever cross, we have to go hit and then jam. Keep up the great work! You're an amazing encourager and teacher! PS. Just watched a video on fast playing...man, I thought I had the playback speed on 1.5 at least! Wow!
Such great advice Dario. I think about almost everything you're talking about here every day since I went full-time with music a couple years ago. It's great to see people with as much experience as you put this so eloquently. Subscribed.
happy birthday sir..ye turned 68 week ago and the journey never ends..life during apartheid{am south african asian}and life post apartheid has just been a wilful strugggle as a jazz guitarist..God has my back..just gotta keep the creative juices flowing..never give up..love to all out there.
Wow, the universe has conspired to throw me a bone with this video! What a wonderful and thoughtful piece of wisdom. I thank you sincerely for your reflections. I have played guitar for fun for 30 years and it is what kept me sane as a young man. Every day, it has brought me joy. Like you, i ditched TV years ago. People think i'm mad but what they dont realise is, i'm free! Thank you for your time and thoughts.
Its ironic that the thumbnail with the "I FAILED" title is, by far, the most successful video on the channel (currently). I think you have great communication skills man, keep doing videos like this and your channel will blow up! Happy birthday mate!
I went the other route and got a traditional job. However, I still play guitar everyday. I have played with many of my guitar heroes through camps and clinics. I could have been a really good guitarist but haven’t had the time to develop it like I would have if I were doing gigs on a regular bases. Life is a trade off. I am set to retire early and plan to spend a lot of it focusing on my never ending journey to be a better player. Bottom line, music makes the world a better place. Keep on entertaining folks with your skills and talent.
@DannyBrooks1 thank you for tuning in Danny and sharing your perspective and journey! Much respect and all the very best in obtaining your objectives. Stay in touch, look forward to hearing about it💪🙏🎶😊
Great video man i can relate to what your saying there ... maybe b'cos im 50 next year And i definitely believe distractions can hold you back mentally as a musician All the best for your 50th year best wishes
Great video! Life is a process of learning, unlearning, and learning again on repeat. There’s always something new and there’s always a new way of viewing the things you already know haha
Happy birthday! This is nice advice and wisdom, thanks for sharing. What resonated with me the most was about reducing distractions, mine are similar to TV but more modern, like youtube/social media/videogames, and the part about community and relationships and how everything needs time to grow. I feel a lot of times that what I'm doing is not paying off fast enough, but looking at it like a marathon or a garden that needs time to develop, I think is a good way to solve that, because as long as you are doing things well in the moment, and being active in music, patience will (hopefully) get you to the other stuff.
@horatiuromantic Thank you for tuning in Horatiu, and for your response!🙏 Some things one becomes aware of over time, others happen sooner, but as long as the goals are clearer, the intention will be more directed and specific. All the very best, keep in touch😊🎶
yes youre happy, you have a gaming laptop in the van =P in all seriousness, I love this video. thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. before I started playing jazz or before even online streaming was a thing, I was lucky enough to have been surrounded by not so talented but extremely happy punk musicians. they showed me that music is anything but conventional and that ridiculous amounts of money doesn't equate happiness. i brought that attitude to my love for jazz and even the most sour of notes could not ruin my day. Dario, thank you for constantly educating us and sharing your musical life and adventures. I wish you another 50 years of happiness.
Great advice Dario. It says a lot about a persons character to put something like this out. I hope you've now enjoyed your birthday week full of playing every night with people you love. Enjoy the next one, and the next, .... all the best!
Congratulations on turning 50! I picked up the guitar at 65 (now 68) and started playing gypsy jazz. Progress is slow; slower than for a young person. It's going to be a long path, but I wouldn't be trying if I didn't expect to be here for a couple more decades. I am completely comfortable that others will learn and play better/faster/more-creatively. There's no time left for ego. It's the music that makes me happy.
@markputnam743 super! Thank you so much for tuning in and for your input Mark, and all the very best on your path, happy to help in any way possible!🙏😊🎶
HEY THERE BIRTHDAY MAN- HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Honesty, consistency, be straight and avoid distractions- very sound (pun intended) council. You show up and do your best- you can be proud of your values- your experiences. BRAVO!
Right now I’m on 4th minute of video, continueing to watching. Can’t not to notice how good this man looks, and it’s not even a compliment You look just like 33-35 Full of energy, but it feels that you really wise
Your videos were an inspiration to me since many years ago and continue to be. I turned 54 recently and I am looking forward to every practice and time with the instrument. A person's overall disposition and mindset reflect age more than a number.
Lovely jazz, in the beginning of this video. Good work !! Very melodic, with enough sophistication to make it interesting, but not just simply a display of technical prowess: Well done.
Told myself I was never gonna do this as a job. Played as a hobby, loved the hobby, got invested in the hobby. I play music for fun all the time and I am happy with that. Learning a new song on guitar and making a playthrough video feels like a personal accomplishment and is very fulfilling. Taught me a lot about discipline and perserverance.
@wunderwaffefries that is fantastic Jacob! Music is a great vehicle regardless, the important thing is the happiness it brings and to find one's own balance
I've recently emigrated from Iran to Italy for studying music and these days I've been questioning my path to a great deal, surfing the internet and coming across your video was definitely one of the best things that has happened to me lately! I'm just so stressed out for lots of difficulties including financial concerns of course.. but thank to you for 20 minutes I felt like I'm in the right path!
Happy Birthday Dario!😊I met you last year at UTTS. You took me with you in your Doblo ( in tour-mode, I think ) from Napoli to Borgo Solario. So you are still libra, just like me - I turned 68 almost a month ago and I'm still learning ( sometimes, at least ). Thanks for your inspiration. Would like to join again. Have a nice day😊
@joachim22335 ha! Ciao Joachim, yes I remember very well! Super, I will be announcing news about this year soon, which will be year 10 (unbelievable 😅). All the very best in the meantime!🙏🎶😊
I will never give up and keep on trying to achieve the dreams of my life of becoming a good guitarist. You can always leave a legacy behind for others to follow your years of guitar playing experiences by teaching others what you know in You tube channel. There are always someone who is always better than you but most important strife to remain humble and learn from the experts so you can improve your musicians skills as time passes. There are always room for improvement if you work and practice hard to become good in something you do one day. I agreed playing music is like running a marathon, start slow, run the race and finished well at the end of the journey. Thanks for sharing your two cents worth in this video to upcoming musicians who are starting their own life journey just like you did years ago.
@@CalvinLimSH-ld5le very much appreciated Calvin! All the very best in your musical journey, I hope you reach all your objectives and have the best time doing so💪🎶😊🫶
Just commenting in the beginning of the video: I already see you play for (in my opinion) large audiences, who clearly value your playing! I dont think you have failed, if you can move the hearts and souls with your music and authenticity behind the instrument in the way you feel and are!
@cx777o much appreciated:) I should have titled "I failed, according to the mainstream music industry standards", but that would have taken too my space..🙏🎶🫶
a bit delayed thoug but all my best wishes to you Dario for your just begun 51st year may it be another one packed with making music and in doing so sharing love and happieness ( sadness at times, if life demands some ) stay healty, safe, loving, loved, helping, helpey, friend, befriendet, rocking, rocked, inspired, inspirational to us out here google logic sent you to me tonight, i am not sure i actually encountered your music before from today i will so keep rockin' peace greetings from Germany
Great Dario, you are really experience life in the way it is made for. And you let many others enjoy your music and make them happy. For example Me! Congrats and thanks a lot. Bas
I only wish to inspire others the way I was as a kid music is magical to me always has been especially electric guitar/ bass/ drum based music I grew up on 60-90s music almost exclusively. And I never thought now at 25 I’d go back to guitar.. a part of me really thought it wasn’t for me idk why. Anyone reading.. please go after what you want. Life is short I swear I was just 15 yesterday lost 10 years of practice time. But it’s a journey. Thank youuuuu Dario, Happy Birthday. 🎸
@LearnGuitar_in10months I could not agree more! But you are also still so very young, truly. I wish you all the very best in your journey, thank you for tuning in 🎶🙏😊
Dario thanks 4 sharing such a honest introspection! 1st of all, happy belated bday! U do look like if u were on ur early 40s, congrats! That might b cause u do what u love 4 a living :) In a way, I'm u: Our stories r alike (I worked in something else until I left it when I was 30 in order 2 do only music) I'm happy. I live da present n feel like growing everyday, but I'm also honest: Economically I have failed so far. Did u held ur purpose or ur main reason for making music 4 another video? U share good advise about da "how to do it", but what about da "why do it"? I'd really like 2 hear it, also I really wish ur garden flowers soon!
@hlqa7938 Thank you, my dear friend! It's very interesting to hear. I'll certainly do other videos on this topic. And maybe share more about my story and my situations. Much appreciate yph tuning in and sharing your thoughts 🙏😊🫶🎶

Le tue parole mi hanno commosso ed allo stesso tempo motivato a continuare a camminare su questa strada. Grazie mille e ancora tantissimi auguri 🎉

For me I have no desire for money or fame from music, I am a computer science student who found a passion in music much like computers for the surface level simplicity and endless depth they both provide. My goal with music and the root of my passion is in being unhindered in my artistic expression with whatever my instrument of choice. I have spent several years dissecting music theory and trying to incorporate concepts into my play through guitar and piano, and most recently have had a lot of people encouraging me to play live, or record myself which I have begun to do. Sometimes I feel like I upload a piece of music and wish I did more with it, I fixate on all the little mistakes and wear down my fingers to try and rectify them. It doesn’t happen over night and giving up is the easy way out and doing myself a disservice to something I love and hold so dearly in life. I’m sure there are pieces I will revisit in the coming years to document how far I’ve come, and your video helps me to appreciate where I’m at in the road despite not being the best at anything. I would love to meet you one day it seems you have a lifetime of wisdom to bestow and thanks again for sharing!
@alexleonard5601 Thank you so much for your comment Alex. It would be a pleasure. I think it's critical to find peace and balance with music along with life, to find joy in the journey, regardless of whether it's a professional or not. All the best in your current journey, hope to cross paths soon😜🎶

Happy Birthday Dario you are an amazing musician, person and all around amazing guy! You are an inspiration
Fratello! Grazie 🙏 I hope to cross paths soon 🎶🫶
Happy birthday! And much respect for keeping at it!
My advice would be... create the right circumstances for yourself. If you need to sing loud, but your neighbors have a problem, then dont stay in that situation. Get a rehearsal space or even move away. You need to protect your art, often times nobody else will. Cheers!
@jilsky thank you very much! Much appreciate you tuning in and your input, all the very best in your journey 😊🙏
Happy Birthday man.

@tomashonsa-swingtet4322 Dear Tomas, thank you so much for tuning in! Hehe, wow I haven't seen you in too long, btw, if you're not too far, on May 27 I play with my trio at the Khamoro Festival in Prague!
We share a similar path with tennis. I only played D2 but also coached tennis for quite a few years (I'm 54 now). I look back and remember only doing choir in high school when I had opportunities to do other musical activities, but instead I pursued sports and especially tennis due in large part to family influence as we were all a bunch of gym rats. In retrospect I wish I had primarily focused on music, put it first, and demoted sports to a distant second, kind of like what I'm hearing you say. But I wonder if we had done that if we would love making music as much as we do now? Regarding your tennis, most people don't understand the commitment it takes for a junior to play D1 as you did. You had to get your 10k hours in to get to that level, so music definitely was taking a back seat. On the other hand, tennis is an amazing school master to teach you that you can do something that's extremely difficult, such as tennis or finger style guitar, which have tiny margins for error, if you put in the work and are disciplined. I'd like to think your tennis background helped to inform this in you. What an amazing journey! Thanks for posting your video!
@WSBM absolutely 1000%! I believe my experience in tennis is the primary reason I was able to have a career in music later, I very much appreciate your input and you are so right, for me music and tennis are like parallel, very similar processes really. Everything I applied to tennis I was also applying in music l, dealing with nerves in performances, endless hours of practice, routines, perseverance, fighting through adversity, traveling, all not it. Thank you for sharing some of your story with me, pleasure to meet people that share similar paths😊🙏
@@DarioNapoliGuitar I'm chuckling at the point you made about nerves! LOL! It's such a perfect parallel how there's the same fight or flight nerves with tennis as the court truly is a stage, and all the same butterflies and nerves present there as in music. We used to say coaching tennis, if you can't do the skill in a match (at a tournament or a dual match), you don't really have the skill yet. Lots of skills we can do in the practice room that when we get in front of others can vanish in a puff of smoke if the muscle memory isn't there. If our paths ever cross, we have to go hit and then jam. Keep up the great work! You're an amazing encourager and teacher! PS. Just watched a video on fast playing...man, I thought I had the playback speed on 1.5 at least! Wow!
@WSBM ha! Totally in for a hit and a jam my friend! Anytime 😊 darionapoliguitar@gmail.com
Such great advice Dario. I think about almost everything you're talking about here every day since I went full-time with music a couple years ago. It's great to see people with as much experience as you put this so eloquently. Subscribed.

Wow, the universe has conspired to throw me a bone with this video! What a wonderful and thoughtful piece of wisdom. I thank you sincerely for your reflections. I have played guitar for fun for 30 years and it is what kept me sane as a young man. Every day, it has brought me joy. Like you, i ditched TV years ago. People think i'm mad but what they dont realise is, i'm free! Thank you for your time and thoughts.
@Monty5959 so much appreciate you tuning in, your comment and yes, as long as there is oxygen in my lungs, there will be music🎶😜🙏
Amen! Happy Birthday!
There’s a load of wisdom packed into those words.

@sotvrno93 ha, I thought the same! Yt can be quirky;) very much appreciated man, all the very best to you, stay in touch😊🙏🎶
I went the other route and got a traditional job. However, I still play guitar everyday. I have played with many of my guitar heroes through camps and clinics. I could have been a really good guitarist but haven’t had the time to develop it like I would have if I were doing gigs on a regular bases. Life is a trade off. I am set to retire early and plan to spend a lot of it focusing on my never ending journey to be a better player. Bottom line, music makes the world a better place. Keep on entertaining folks with your skills and talent.
@DannyBrooks1 thank you for tuning in Danny and sharing your perspective and journey! Much respect and all the very best in obtaining your objectives.

Great video! Life is a process of learning, unlearning, and learning again on repeat. There’s always something new and there’s always a new way of viewing the things you already know haha
@@yajy4501 thank you! Yes, couldn't agree more😊🙏
Happy birthday! This is nice advice and wisdom, thanks for sharing. What resonated with me the most was about reducing distractions, mine are similar to TV but more modern, like youtube/social media/videogames, and the part about community and relationships and how everything needs time to grow. I feel a lot of times that what I'm doing is not paying off fast enough, but looking at it like a marathon or a garden that needs time to develop, I think is a good way to solve that, because as long as you are doing things well in the moment, and being active in music, patience will (hopefully) get you to the other stuff.
@horatiuromantic Thank you for tuning in Horatiu, and for your response!🙏 Some things one becomes aware of over time, others happen sooner, but as long as the goals are clearer, the intention will be more directed and specific. All the very best, keep in touch😊🎶
yes youre happy, you have a gaming laptop in the van =P
in all seriousness, I love this video. thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
before I started playing jazz or before even online streaming was a thing, I was lucky enough to have been surrounded by not so talented but extremely happy punk musicians.
they showed me that music is anything but conventional and that ridiculous amounts of money doesn't equate happiness.
i brought that attitude to my love for jazz and even the most sour of notes could not ruin my day.
Dario, thank you for constantly educating us and sharing your musical life and adventures.
I wish you another 50 years of happiness.
Much appreciate you tuning in!🙏😊🫶

Very much appreciated, thank you for tuning in!😊🎶🙏
Congratulations on turning 50! I picked up the guitar at 65 (now 68) and started playing gypsy jazz. Progress is slow; slower than for a young person. It's going to be a long path, but I wouldn't be trying if I didn't expect to be here for a couple more decades. I am completely comfortable that others will learn and play better/faster/more-creatively. There's no time left for ego. It's the music that makes me happy.
@markputnam743 super! Thank you so much for tuning in and for your input Mark, and all the very best on your path, happy to help in any way possible!🙏😊🎶

Lovely jazz, in the beginning of this video. Good work !! Very melodic, with enough sophistication to make it interesting, but not just simply a display of technical prowess: Well done.
@@KenTeel grazie!😊🙏
Told myself I was never gonna do this as a job. Played as a hobby, loved the hobby, got invested in the hobby. I play music for fun all the time and I am happy with that. Learning a new song on guitar and making a playthrough video feels like a personal accomplishment and is very fulfilling. Taught me a lot about discipline and perserverance.
@wunderwaffefries that is fantastic Jacob! Music is a great vehicle regardless, the important thing is the happiness it brings and to find one's own balance
Love the advice. I’m a 17 wannabe jazz guitarist and am very glad I’ve got a head start because of this video!

I've recently emigrated from Iran to Italy for studying music and these days I've been questioning my path to a great deal, surfing the internet and coming across your video was definitely one of the best things that has happened to me lately!

Happy Birthday Dario!😊I met you last year at UTTS. You took me with you in your Doblo ( in tour-mode, I think ) from Napoli to Borgo Solario. So you are still libra, just like me - I turned 68 almost a month ago and I'm still learning ( sometimes, at least ). Thanks for your inspiration. Would like to join again. Have a nice day😊
@joachim22335 ha! Ciao Joachim, yes I remember very well! Super, I will be announcing news about this year soon, which will be year 10 (unbelievable 😅). All the very best in the meantime!🙏🎶😊
I will never give up and keep on trying to achieve the dreams of my life of becoming a good guitarist. You can always leave a legacy behind for others to follow your years of guitar playing experiences by teaching others what you know in You tube channel. There are always someone who is always better than you but most important strife to remain humble and learn from the experts so you can improve your musicians skills as time passes. There are always room for improvement if you work and practice hard to become good in something you do one day. I agreed playing music is like running a marathon, start slow, run the race and finished well at the end of the journey. Thanks for sharing your two cents worth in this video to upcoming musicians who are starting their own life journey just like you did years ago.

I only wish to inspire others the way I was as a kid music is magical to me always has been especially electric guitar/ bass/ drum based music I grew up on 60-90s music almost exclusively. And I never thought now at 25 I’d go back to guitar.. a part of me really thought it wasn’t for me idk why. Anyone reading.. please go after what you want. Life is short I swear I was just 15 yesterday lost 10 years of practice time. But it’s a journey. Thank youuuuu Dario, Happy Birthday. 🎸

That might b cause u do what u love 4 a living :) In a way, I'm u: Our stories r alike (I worked in something else until I left it when I was 30 in order 2 do only music) I'm happy. I live da present n feel like growing everyday, but I'm also honest: Economically I have failed so far. Did u held ur purpose or ur main reason for making music 4 another video? U share good advise about da "how to do it", but what about da "why do it"? I'd really like 2 hear it, also I really wish ur garden flowers soon!
