It’s important to exercise the mind and body in general. When it comes to music you can be a very plain and uninteresting player if you only exercise your fingers.

I must say this is a pretty good point. Playing hard and playing long is one sure-win secret to improving. Just that sometimes, it helps to re-packaging that tip into a “magic pill” that andre mentioned.

I agree, I’ve always thought of it like exercising, a “magic pill”, sitting at the juice bar, or actually working out 1 day a week won’t get it done! If you’re passionate about guitar you’ll want to put your hands on it every chance you get.

Absolutely. If you practice with both your hands and your mind, you will get better. Others can show you shortcuts, but they can’t magically input “guitar godhood” into you with a magic “secret”. Too many people spend their time looking for magic pills instead of doing the necessary work in life. And that goes for more than just playing guitar.
