Bon Jovi. Kenny Chesney. Jimmy Buffett. We see them onstage in front of thousands of fans, creating experiences for onlookers through voice, rhythm and chords. What we don't see is the tens-of thousands of hours when they were alone in their bedroom learning to play guitar. We don't see the slum clubs when they were performing in front of 12 people to which 8 were friends and family members.
