Have you ever done any of the following? 1. Made excuses for not practicing because you "didn't have time"? 2. Practiced the same licks and exercises that you did last year? 3. Felt like you had hit a brick wall in your progress? 4. Felt unsure as to what to practice? Unless your name is Steve Vai, chances are you've done at least one of the above! They are all symptoms of having a lack of vision. What do I mean by vision? Vision in this context is having a clearly defined picture in you.
