Would you consider re-learning the guitar from scratch?

I think it’s different for everyone. I have a very good friend that was an insane rock/metal guitarist. He could nail any technical solo from whatever rock guitar god you can think of...at 16 years old. As he went into his late 20’s he picked up a bass, and then got into jazz so he picked up a stand up bass. He then moved to NYC and has been playing with some big jazz names and has a cool jazz trio project going on. His playing is at a completely different level now. He rarely plays guitar but when he does he plays some crazy complicated stuff.
