		<description>Hey Jack!

I would simply ask the person what it was he or she didn&#039;t like about it. If you get a specific answer, then it&#039;s not a bad idea to ponder whether that person has a point or not and then try to improve your playing. If they won&#039;t give you anything more specific, then I wouldn&#039;t worry about it. No matter how well you play, you will never please everyone, nor do you need to. That&#039;s just the way it goes. 
If everyone liked the same things and played the same way, there wouldn&#039;t be any need for more than one recording of each piece. Music would get quite boring quite fast. :)

Also, don&#039;t forget that this type of non-specific critique from a peer (especially if you didn&#039;t ask for their opinion)  might just be envy on the part of the person giving it. Just nod, smile, and forget about it.</description>

		<description>Hey, great article,

How would you deal with a criticism from a peer such as, &#039;I didn&#039;t like it&#039;, not being specific. I seem to deal with any type of criticism except this type. Is there something I should say or a particular way I should think about it?

Cheers</description>

		<description>Thanks! Yup, I agree. I will probably be hanging out a bit more in the forums now that I&#039;m done with school.</description>
