Too many musicians (especially guitarists) tend to try and short cut their way toward 'playing' and neglect to learn actual musical concepts. At the same time, teachers often fall into the trap of teaching the way they were taught and fail to connect to a majority of students on a non-musical level. Looks like Rick and I both were fortunate enough to have a good combination of both styles. Great read and great advice about ‘formal’ training.
