Well, except those, these were good advice. If your hands hurt, stop playing. There's a common injury that happens to guitarists, due to excessive repetitive motion. If you get it, it's quite hard to play after that without being in a lot of pain.

If guitar playing was only about tricks, Music would be in a sad state...Of course, you learn watching others. But don't forget, it's music you are creating.
