    I've been playing for 20 years now. I think the best thing about playing guitar is not playing things that other people go "wow, that was awesome" , or someone says "that's great!" My personal favorites are the things I play that make me get lost in my own world between the headphones, alone in my house.... the riffs and jams I stumble across that make me close my eyes and play over and over because to me it's just so beautiful and zen. Those are my favorite moments.

    The smoothest guitar guy on CZcams. His teaching approach is incredible. I've just started his Next Level Playing course and I've learned more in the last few weeks than I've learned in my 20 years of playing. Everything is connected and Pauls way of showing that is top class. Thanks for your time Paul

      +1 to the quality of his guitar courses. I started with Learn, Practice, Play (even though I had been playing guitar for decades, I never really advanced beyond being a decent strummer, so I still found the beginner course valuable). I am now working through both Next Level Playing and Acoustic Adventure. I now have much better command of the neck, scales, leads, etc., in addition to keeping my rhythm techniques polished and expanding them a bit.
      And no, Paul did not pay me to post this. ;)

    After being a "forever beginner" for years, I put down the guitar for 6 years. When I came back I vowed that I'd learn fingerstyle and played fingerstyle exclusively for 2 years. So glad I picked up that technique first before deep diving into more advanced stuff. Little motifs like this are a perfect for that fingerstyle skill.
