Please join us in thanking the esteemed Candy Bilyk for taking the time to write this real-time, real-life series about her experiences on MySpace. This series has been really fun for all of us here to read at MXTabs and at Musicnotes. Hopefully she’ll remember us when she becomes big and famous…

Put your hands together and give a big round of applause for today’s guest blogger, Walt Ribeiro. Walt’s post entitled “Patience is the Key” discusses one of the most frustrating parts about learning an instrument and new tab. For more about Walt, please read his biography at the end of this post.
Patience is the Key
Every great painter had it. Every great inventor had it. Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Metallica, Jimmy Paige, and even Green Day had it.
