And you will get better.Highesthand said:Okay forget I said great. We both clearly have different definitions of great.
That said,
You can be "great" at something without ever having professional advice. Of course, getting professional advice will get you good quicker,...
If you go it alone, you will go only as far as whatever natural talent you have will take you. If you have a great deal of natural talent, that might get you fairly far. But no matter how far you might be able to get on your own, good coaching will take you further.
Yes, many people believe that. But many people are deluding themselves.Highesthand said:...You can get good by being conscious of what you're doing, taking a video and posting that video on forums, asking some really good people you see to give you tips, etc....
Rationalize all you want, and you of course get to decide how good you want to be. If you're satisfied, that's fine. Some of us aspire to greater things.
Also, beware the Dunning-Kruger effect.
