Just wanted to say, being 18, I find encouragement the best motivation, which I don't think would really have to do with age anyway. I wouldn't think anyone likes discouragement. If you don't like the way someone is playing, you don't have to discourage them. Maybe they enjoy playing that way. It would only be nice to encourage them to continue doing what they like because what you think is only an opinion. That brings another thought to mind, encouraging criticism. Criticism doesn't have to be positive, but making it negative can be discouraging, so one possibly put in it in a more encouraging way. Nice try, for example. Support is good. When I play shows with other bands, after their set, I tell the drummer great job or something like that. Things like how old they are, how good or bad they did, how they played, just things like that will come to mind sometimes.. but I'm definitely not going to discourage them. I'll always tell them good job now matter my opinion of how they did. Anyway, this has all probably already been said, so thanks guys.
