Constantly be working to improve your playing and singing skills. Scales are important but they are not the end. They are a means. Avoid playing scales when you are working out the music. There is nothing more boring than when the scales are obvious. While scales may demonstrate the skill on your instrument, and can be impressive, if they don’t serve the words or the music, they can be pointless. Stick with tried and true arrangements. Limit the desire to turn each song into a magnum opus. Keep timings to what is necessary to communicate the idea of the song. Take into consideration the different places where you will post your music for sale. Remember that there are time limitations for vinyl and compact disc recordings. Practice makes permanent, not perfect.
