I have been playing a long time and still learn new things all the time even from guys that have not been playing that long. Nice article I don’t think you are ever too old to learn something new.

Occasionally I have decided to take up some lessons. I did this about 4 times with 4 different teachers. I think ultimately it was well worth it and getting a different persons perspective on your playing, can only be a good thing. whether is is good or bad points - it helps you learn where to improve and how.

I know that was a long post, and generally my wife thinks that I should keep things to a minimum, but i was honestly putting my heart on my sleeve! I hope that at least some younger players may use this as a catalyst to try these approaches in soul searching for that one feel or sound! In regards to your picking, if you can at least throw something in now and then to keep you audience thinking, it will pay off for the better! I have problems with proper classical technique now a days, and I find myself second guess myself and that is when I get in trouble with my presentation. I think that everyone is more then aware of it but truth be told, they have no idea! Anyways, thanx a lot for your comment! It means a lot to have someone of your level and maturity writing on this blog! Keep on Jammin' Thanx for the vote of confidence learn guitar!

I also know what your talking about with the finger picking, I practiced classical for a fair few years, but the finger picking never became ingrained to an extent that I keep the skill without practice, like it did with a pick.
