...only it would play itself. Haha.

I have found that there are 2 ways of playing the guitar...how we are taught (foundations) and what we learn along the way (growth).

I have thankfully had some wonder people in my life. Eugene Gregory and Jon Perrin aer the main people that stand out for me, because they didn't give me major lessons of any kind. They helped point my learning in the correct direction. Learning simple things like muting the A string when playing a G Major chored or substituing a Csus2 instead of a C Maj at times. The perspective change helped to shape my understading of the guitar and how to relate with it and those around me (myself included).

Also the most important lesson:

"Less is more"

It is amazing how often you see simplicity as an important factor not only in music but in every area of life. It adds some "weight" to God saying "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)
