Ask yourself these few questions and be honest with the answers: Do I sound the same on rhythm changes and blues as I did five years ago? Do I have the same basic technical facility that I did six months ago? Are the same few standards giving me trouble? Am I playing the same lines in my solos that I always play?
If the answers are yes, then it’s a sign that your musical progress has slowed down or even stopped altogether. Now don’t worry, becoming aware of your progress is progress in itself.

I was thinking of this exact topic this morning Frank.
I decided to go back to a video of my playing style a year ago and present.
1 year ago:
Present:
I am not too sure which, if any styles,I prefer most.

I read the article and think that many on MBH spend way too much time on the first two stages and then develop a closed mindset to the last two, like it is some sort of magical thing only a select few can attain.
The only issue with the article, as I see it, is the implied conclusion that only a select few can reach the third and fourth stages. Anyone can do that - that doesn't mean you'll be famous, though. A lot of people can reach that, and have, they just aren't famous by name. We have a few on the board like that.
