But... what if you're really old like Les and I, and you are a pretty smart guy, like Les and I (ok, more Les than myself, but play along) and you have over 60 years of knowledge crammed in a regular sized head, and it's just full, and we are closer to the end than the beginning? Are we still beginning?The guitar is an unrelenting tool of unforgiveness...
You will never master it because you will never 100% learn it. You will never even 100% appreciate it. You may only think or believe you are proficient at it but in reality, even after 50 years of playing, you are still beginning.
Let's be real here
I know I don't know everything and estimate that I've lost about 30% of my ability due to arthritis in my hand. Heck if it keeps getting worse, I WILL be back at beginner level.
Now I'm getting depressed. Why did you bring this up? I should just give on on guitar and start playing the kazoo! What will my hot wife think about that? She married a guitar player! Geez, this is a depressing thread. One minute I'm doing pretty well on guitar, the next I'm a washed up kazoo player with no hot wife. I just can't win here!
