very true, isral ( sp?) , but if that comment was directed at me, i must say that i learn something everytime i pick up the guitar. and my playing, well, practice makes perfect.
i think what you meant was about people who 'practice' but really they are mindlessy playing, which is not the case with myself. i have been working on combinations/patterns, dexterity, learned a few songs, MADE a song ( dont have lyrics yet though), and i believe my practice is very effective. its all on how you look at things.
