But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
At least you know there are things you don't know you don't know.

I think I could handle the 3 hours a day for nine years, but I don't think I have the years left. I'm not even buying green bananas these days! 
Do you eat a banana while watching your favorite news show... 30 minutes?
I don't watch news shows anymore. History just keeps repeating itself - only the names change.

Festus Hagan Said it best: "Well Mathew, how do you know if you know something... if you don't know whether you know if you know it or not"??

Just a point of view.
I am a multi instrumentalist, what I have learnt is that you dont need to "master an instrument" in order to sound good and have fun. Sure you do need musicality - good timing and an understanding of how to fit in with a sound, but you can even on a fast moving tune, get away with something simple and effective. You can go a long way with simple triads.
Its all in the approach, dont learn complex guitar riffs of by heart to begin with, learn some harmony basics then get those triads moving over a chord, and you'll soon be dancing.
A maxim I have developed is 'if you can learn something simpler, then learn that first'.
BTW I dont mean to say that you should not master your instrument, just that you dont need to, to get a good sound. You can get something going sooner than you think.

What you practice is at least as important as how long you practice.
Performing also really sharpens your skills - that's when you find out how good you really are.
10,000 hours in the woodshed going over the same old licks isn't the best way to go - and it sure doesn't sound like fun!
Cheers!
Cheers! -Alastair

I agree. And for clarity Alistair, the idea certainly isn't 10,000 hrs. of wood-shedding or practicing 'the same old licks'. Honestly that isn't practical / realistic in pursuing mastery of any kind and wouldn't produce results. In this case it is just the contrary. Malcolm uses the idea of practice as a point of importance in regards to anyone's chosen field. For musicians, the 'mechanics' are a must, there is no way around the practice time. As an 'artist' on the other hand, we can be medicore or OK or adequate musicians, but generate great works as a songsmith, producer etc.. I have always differentiated between and artist and musician as I spent years as an artist and now am working at becoming a competent musician.
The truth is, for those who love their work or rather have passion in their work, the hours come simply by day to day engrossment. Only a few are so fortunate to have found a clear vision for their loves and have made it their careers. These are often the ones who are considered truly masters in their fields. Passionate Scientists spend countless hours in the lab...many days without days off, not just 8-10 hrs and go home. Some architects are that way, psychologists, golfers etc. Making our 'practice' or our work our way of life is the premise.
Have a great week!~
