Hello friends! I'm The Monkey and today I wanna talk to you about how anyone can play anything!

The Monkey's tips and tricks: You can play anything regardless of difficulty

and the difference between can't and won't.

This video goes specially to those who, when they see a video of a virtuoso or hear a difficult solo or something like that,

the first thing they think is "I can't play that".

Well, yes you can!

Some years ago, a great psychologist friend Aliris Escobar (link to her instagram on the description below)

was telling me about the difference between "I can't" and "I won't"

Many times we say "I can't", when we really mean "I won't"

and it is good to differentiate them.

For example,

Tomorrow you have a very important and hard exam and you get invited to a party tonight.

A logic response would be "I can't, I have an exam"

"I can't, I have to study"... or "I can't, I have to go to sleep early"

Or you could also be irresponsible and go to the party, right?

But a logic response could be "I can't".

But in truth, you can. You can just get up and go.

You won't because you prefer to study, or to sleep,

you just prefer something else.

There could be something literally preventing you from going

For example if you are in prison,

but if you're not, you could just go to that party.

And like that, to many things we say "I can't".

"I have a commitment", "I can't, I don't feel good", "I can't, any excuse".

But generally, we can.

We just prefer to do something else.

There are some things that we literally can't

For example, I can't fly.

And I guess you can't either,

well... unless you are a superhero

or a bird...

tho... if you are a bird...

what are you doing watching my channel? shoo!

I also can't lift a car with my hands. Physically those are stuff that we just can't.

But those are restrictions of our human body.

We can't do those things definitely.

Now, taking this idea to the music, or your instrument,

when you hear a difficult song and you say "I can't play that" you are lying to yourself.

Of course you can.

Maybe unless you are missing your hands,

even tho I have seen people play with no hands,

well... or if you are a bird...

you couldn't play it then... not clear yet...

Shoo!

What could happen is that you prefer not to do it because it requires a sacrifice and a big investment of time

and you could have other priorities, and that's perfectly fine.

But saying you "can't" play something difficult? Of course you can

You just need the time and practice.

I believe anyone can play anything on any instrument.

At least in the technical part of it. Being able to play the piece or song or solo...

Maybe not anyone could compose it, or maybe not anyone could do it with the same feeling,

but being able to play it? Anyone can.

The difference between us, say, you and me, and the likes of Paul Gilbert,

or Yngwie,

or Slash,

or John Petrucci,

or whoever your guitar hero is,

is how obsessive they were with the instrument.

Those are people who spent 10 hours a day playing guitar,

EVERY day

every... day...

Sometimes more than 10 hours.

Most of us haven't spent 10 hours or more each day for years playing the instrument.

That's the difference.

Even if today you pick a new instrument that you have never played,

if you found the time and passion to practice 10 hours a day, in a short time you will master the instrument, that's for sure,

Of course there are people who find it easier or harder than others,

but that doesn't mean that the one who finds it hard will not get there,

only that the one who finds it easy will get there faster,

and the one who finds it harder will take some more time, but they will all get there if they work on it.

Some people, when they see me play something difficult, say stuff like "oh but he has a gift",

or "it's easy for him",

but I don't think I'm one of those who find guitar easy,

I started playing when I was 9 years old,

and today I'm 34.

So that's 25 years playing guitar.

For that much time I think I should play a lot better than I do!

Now, it is understandable that maybe you don't want to be a professional musician,

you don't wanna spend 10 hours, or many hours, each day on the instrument,

maybe you have other commitments, other responsabilities,

maybe you have children, or another career, or another hobby that you are more passionate about,

but it would be good for you to be clear with yourself, that it isn't that you can't, but that you just prefer to spend your time on other priorities.

Nothing wrong about that.

Of course, after so many years playing the guitar, there are a lot of stuff that now I find esier,

for example, learning a difficult song now takes X amount of time,

which is a lot less time that it would have taken a few years ago,

that's just logic,

but I owe that to those years of practice that taught me the resources I need to learn something new quickly.

I also learned how to make my practice time as efficient as possible,

which may be subject for another video.

Anyway, I don't know about your level on the guitar, or even if you play guitar or another instrument,

I don't even know if you are a bird! It's not clear yet!

but if you're human, I assure you that you can play anything you want if you spend the right time on it.

Sooner or later, you'll get there.

Another thing I'd like to say, is that even tho the title says "YOU CAN PLAY ANYTHING!"

it's good to have progressive goals.

Another example, when I was a kid, I started learning a classical piece called Natalia, by Antonio Lauro,

I've never been a classical guitarist and I don't know much about it,

but I really liked this song and wanted to play it since I was a kid.

I started learning it when I was about 12 or 13 years old.

The technical level of the song was WAY beyond my capabilities in that time.

I tried it, learned a part, but I couldn't.

I finished learning the song maybe 7 years later.

And sometimes I joke "that song took me 7 years to learn it",

but that's not true, the truth is it took me 7 years of learning other stuff, and get other techniques,

so when I tried to learn Natalia again, I already understood a lot of the technical and physical aspect of playing,

and I could finally play the song.

So the end result is the same: I got to play the difficult song,

but it is good to set progressive goals.

If you are just starting with the gutiar, and go like "I wanna learn that super hard Steve Vai song, The Monkey told me I could play anything!"

well yeah, sooner or later you will be able to play that Steve Vai song,

but it helps to set smaller goals, like first learning how to do bendings, or legato,

I'll master these other songs that are easier,

just because if you don't, you might get frustrated.

If you spend years trying to learn a song and still don't get it, it's very likely that you'll get frustrated and quit.

like "this is not for me... it's too hard... I don't like it... I took an effort for years and couldn't!" and quit playing.

And that's not the idea!

So if you're just starting and you wanna get to the super hard Steve Vai or Dream Theater song,

set closer goals, easier songs that you also like, that go in that general direction.

Even Dream Theater themselves didn't start playing with such complex songs,

they probably started playing stuff like Black Sabbath, or Metallica,

and maybe later stepped up to Rush,

and so on, little by little, eventually they got to do the complex music they do.

Steps like that are the ones one should find.

Now, with the purpose of this video and to prove my point, I'll do an experiment with myself.

One of the techniques that I haven't mastered perfectly is sweep picking.

I know the technique, I understand it, even have taught it to my students,

but I'm no sweep picking expert,

Zero Jason Becker here.

I never got passionate about it. It wasn't my thing.

So I picked a sweep picking pattern that I find personally super hard,

and that I know is way beyond my sweep picking capabilities

and I will practice it for as long as it takes me until I get it.

The pattern I chose is from a song called Empyreal, by the band Sylosis (link in the description),

and I guess you'll realize why I chose it, cuz it is really hard!

A friend of mine showed me this song, like saying "this is the hardest thing! betcha can't play this!"

and in truth, I couldn't, and still can't yet.

So I'll practice it for as long as I need, maybe it'll be a month, maybe more, maybe less,

and I'll record videos sometimes to document how I get better.

I'll start at a slow bpm and slowly build up until I get it right.

I'll turn all that into a new video sometime, so you can see how I go from sucking to nailing it.

And see how surely I say "nailing it"

That's because I know sooner or later I will. I have no doubts. Worst case: it'll take long.

So I'll do that and let's see how long it takes!

Today is July 17th, 2017.

It probably won't be the next video I upload. Most likely during the time I take to master that I'll upload other cover(s) or videos.

but sooner or later you'll get to see that video and the evolution of that pattern.

So wish me luck with that!

Readers Questions: When Should I Take Action? - Duration: 13:26.

Hey everyone! This is Brandon Olivares, and I'm here for our new weekly series called Readers Questions.

I know that's super original but I like to keep things pretty simple [laugh].

But in this series I will have a video every Monday answering a reader's question about the law of attraction.

And my goal is to have these videos be about 5-10 minutes in length so I'm going to try to keep them pretty short overall.

Of course, in order to do this, I will actually need questions. So if you would like to have your question answered, you can go to cocreationcoaching.org/ask and ask your question they're.

Today we have a question from Lisa about action. It's actually a really good question. I'm excited to answer it today.

Lisa asks.

What is the ideal relationship for action, momentum, and resistance? I enjoyed your blog posts and podcasts on momentum and resistance, but I wasn't sure how action fit in to it all.

Is it better to take action when your momentum and resistance are low, or when they are high? Or does it matter?

Now this is actually a really great question as I said, and it helps me to realize that I could've expanded on a few more points around this in my recent podcast on this issue.

I had a recent podcast. It was Co-Create Your Life #19: The Opposing Forces Behind the Law of Attraction. I will put a link to that in the description of the video and in the transcript.

So in that podcast I talked about momentum versus resistance as those two opposing forces,

and that both are needed—you just have to keep them in the right proportion to one another.

I want to give a bit of background because I see a little misconception that you have, Lisa, about resistance,

and I recognize—I realize—that this could have arisen from what I said in the podcast, so I want to clarify that right now.

There are two types of resistance.

There is one resistance that comes up naturally when you have high momentum,

and then there's the actual resistance end of what I'm calling the Spectrum of Manifestation.

The spectrum of manifestation is—I didn't really call it this during the podcast but it's a really good name for it—

basically has two ends: there's the momentum and, which is the positive, and there's the resistance end.

And if you remember, in the podcast, I talked about, you want to stay in momentum.

If you push the momentum too much, and the resistance gets too much to handle, you will get caught up on the negative end.

It will catch you, you'll get stuck in there, and it's a negative, so you don't want that.

There's a difference though between the resistance you get on the positive end—the momentum end—of the Spectrum of Manifestation,

versus the resistance you get stuck in on the negative end.

On the positive end, there is what you could call tension.

That might be a better name than resistance, because a lot of people give a lot of negative baggage to the word resistance.

If you remember, for those who have been around on my blog for a while, last year I wrote a lot about what I called creative tension or structural tension.

And this is heavily borrowed from the work of Robert Fritz, who wrote Path of Least Resistance, which I highly recommend—it's a great book,

even though he's a little skeptical on the law of attraction as it is. But it's a wonderful book that can help you in understanding all of this.

But I talked about structural tension. And that is the awareness basically that "Here's what I want; here's where I am: they don't match."

That's all that is. "Here's what I want; here's where I am: they don't match."

Let's say you want to double your income.

So let's say you say to yourself, "Right now I'm making $40,000 a year, and I'd love to be making $80,000."

"Thats where I want to be ($80,000 a year); this is where I am ($40,000 a year): they don't match."

That's tension. Because when you're focusing on what you want, and [laugh] your reality is focusing on what you have,

there is a conflict, and that's tension, also known as resistance.

The great thing about tension is that when you have that disparity between where you are and where you want to be,

it is naturally going to trigger those subconscious programs that are in the way.

And that's not really relevant to today's topic, but it's just something that's good to keep in mind.

I talk about that a lot in my Art of Reality Creation 2.0, so you can get more about that there.

But essentially, this tension is that Gap between where you are and where you want to be,

and that awareness is the feeling of resistance—the feeling of tension—the feeling of

"Yeah I'm not there yet, and I don't know when I will be there, but I'm working on it and in general I feel positive."

So that's the positive. And the negative end is when I feel anxious, I feel obsessed about the resistance, I just feel really really negative overall.

That's when you're caught up in resistance.

Those are two different things. Tension is part of momentum—is a net positive.

But resistance on its own, when you've gone too far, and you're just caught up in that resistance, and you cannot manage it,

is a net negative and you really don't want to get caught up there.

So the reason I mention this is because when you say momentum and resistance are high,

I think you're sort of thinking that they automatically go together. Which in a way, yes, again they do. There is the tension there when you have high momentum.

But it's, again, a net positive. That's the thing to keep in mind. It's a net positive.

It's not like a balancing act where it's, "Well I have 10 units of momentum, and 10 units of resistance, and they're balanced at 0, and so that's where I am."

It's not that at all. It's a net positive, because you're managing the resistance, you're managing the tension,

these negative programs are coming up from the subconscious and you are handling them,

and you're working through them, and it feels good, and it's a really great place to be in.

So that is where you are on the momentum end of the Spectrum of Manifestation.

When you're in the resistance end, then it's a net negative like I said, and you are stuck, and it's not a good place to be.

So when you're talking about action, you want to act out of a positive place.

We know this. This is pretty basic, right? So you want to make sure you're acting out of a positive place.

You don't want to act out of low momentum. Why? Because nothing much is going to happen! [laugh]

I mean, if you act on something that you're not really feeling much for, what's going to happen? Maybe something but it'd be very small.

And anyway, why would you want to? If you have a powerful desire, what are you going to do? Are you going to intentionally back off on it?

Are you going to intentionally turn down the volume on that desire because you want to act and get a good result?

That's sort of shooting yourself in the foot, because if you were able to do that, it wouldn't really be a powerful desire to begin with.

Yes, you can slow down your momentum to a certain extent,

but not to the extent of where you're actually in low momentum without really some other stuff going on at the same time.

I've seen this happen when people are afraid of change and so it's sort of like they want to change,

but they're too afraid to, so they're sort of keeping things safe in a low momentum kind of phase.

You don't want that. It's not a really nice place to be. It's boring, it's just not very nice.

So you want the high momentum, just not so high that the resistance is overwhelming, and you want to act out of high momentum.

The higher the momentum the better, because when your momentum is high, guess what? You get big results!

Because in life, you get out what you put into it. In pretty much any area of life that's going to be true.

You get out what you put into it. If you put into it a lot of momentum—a lot of emotions—

a lot of desire, which is energy, you get out a big result, if you act out of it.

Now, what I wanted to clarify is this: when you are on the positive end of the Spectrum of Manifestation—when you're in the momentum end—

you are automatically going to act out of a positive frame of mind, and therefore you will tend to get positive results.

So like I said, I think your fear was, "If I have resistance, than there's a chance that I act out of a resistant frame of mind, and I don't want that, so what should I do?"

No, you have the resistance managed when you are on the positive end, and so overall it's a net positive, and therefore when you act, it's positive.

And you'll be drawn to those things that will get you a positive result. And when you act on it, you will get a positive result more times than not.

So that is what you have to keep in mind. Yes, if you are on the negative end—if you have a lot of resistance, and you're caught up in it, and you're stuck in it, and you're obsessing about it,

then, you will get negative things. You don't want that.

But if you're on the positive end, and you're led to some action, which you will be, because it's a natural part—

it's the natural process of things—it's going to be good. So don't fear that.

And it's always important to know where you are. Are you in the resistance end or are you in the momentum end? Because that is going to tell you how you need to proceed from here.

So again, if you're on that positive end, act! But you're not going to act out of fear because you're on the positive end.

It's just not going to happen. You're going to act out of Desire, out of abundance, out of fulfillment, and it's going to be great!

So that is what's going to happen. So always act out of high momentum—as high as you can get it.

But again always keep the resistance bearable, always keep the tension to a level that you can actually manage it. So that's what the Balancing Act is.

So I hope that answered your question. Again I appreciate it because it helped me to know what I need to expand on more.

And maybe I'll expand on some of those points in a future blog post about the two types of resistance.

Again for all the other listeners, if you would like to have your question answered, you can go to cocreationcoaching.org/ask, and that will add your question to the queue.
