Can't tell you how many times I wanted to just fade away and give up, but I never did. Got past each obstacle and adapted and overcame the situations. Am so VERY GLAD I kept with it because now I enjoy playing and creating music on my guitars. I'll probably never be a Christopher S or Mike O at GuitarTricks, but I'll learn and continue growing and grooving till I die. Don't ever give up, Life is better with a guitar
