All I can say is that in the now just over 4 years since I discovered JustinGuitar and applied myself to learning, I've achieved more than I imagined possible and find great satisfaction, sense of achievement, happiness in my music hobby ... playing, singing, recording, Open Mics, Forum collabs, original songs, and of course the friendships here.
It matters not how proficient I become, whether I explore all the paths that I'd like to with acoustic, resonator, and electric. As long as I keep improving and enjoying, I'll be beyond merely satisfied.
