Tip o' de day, begorrah! Mix the techniques and principles of Mr. Hill and Mr. Evoy mentioned elsewhere on site, and you have a lethal and non-stopable combination... 'tis the opinion 'round here ;-).

It's recommended by many experts such as the above mentioned and long respected Napoleon Hill, to take advantage of other people's years of advice and experience and that this will cut your learning curve dramatically. It's a matter of getting into the habit and then a creative snowball type of effect can kick in.

What about learning from a Berklee Master? Have a look at Pat Patterson's work - inspiring stuff. As many musicians find, when you purposefully push yourself on becoming a more creative writer and tunesmith your guitar playing and band input increase dramatically.

This is the key - persistence, another principle recommended by the great thinkers, and a trait which can be really taken under control.

To become unusable or inoperative: The television broke. To give way; collapse: The scaffolding broke during the storm. To burst: The blister broke. Heart: The vital center and source of one's being, emotions, and sensibilities.

Lies writhing like a dying Gorgon,
I need a little break,
I'll go shopping in Glamorgen.
