The biggest challenge for me in learning guitar was getting over the idea that a guitarist has to play the most challenging things in order to be taken seriously. I originally felt that way and didn’t take myself seriously for a long time. When I became more interested in expanding my technique, I just learned techniques in songs that I loved, and applied them to my own material. I felt I was playing simple, rudimentary licks, but people seemed to enjoy my solos. Feeling encouraged, I kept going along my own path, playing what I like, not what I think people want me to play.
