Super great advice and I agree a lot as a guitarist. Very same principles about diversity, challenge, and practice. In my teenage years I averaged probably 2 hours a day reaching for shred like Yngwie Malmsteen - because of that push and reach, 80% of normal playing is a walk in the park.

Once you get the technical aptitude it’s great to explore other cultures and methods and then your brain gets to express itself even more. Quite a lovely journey but also delayed gratification is built in and challenges a lot of people. Myself included…
