This is a highly vague question! Don't worry, I'll clear it up a little.
First a story. I have only been playing for 6 years. I know my experience is not very good to start with, but please, realize this question does not deal with absolute progression but relative progression. Because of my experience(or, should I say, the lack thereof), I have not had "everything" click, but I know that in my fourth year of playing I progressed on my instrument far beyond any other year. I began truly listening, and my tone improved. Other aspects of my playing also improved or started existing in the first place. In some since, I discovered something that year, and my abilities progressed exponentially farther than any other year at that point. What this something is I don't quite understand. I wanted to know if anyone else understood or partially understood that something. Do you all understand what I mean? Has the same thing happened for you? I would think this would happen multiple times during the first few years of playing(of course this depends on what you consider few). I would also imagine that effort is the spring from which this "new life" originates. Any thoughts?
