A psychologist would have a field day on that forum, eh? Lots of resident curmudgeons. Occasionally you'll find a guy who talks about how great stuff was back then and then you find out they're under 40! There are so many fallacies and arbitrary rules that they like to create. I suppose I'm not too surprised since I've been in bands and have been hearing guys coming up with strange rules.
I'm a cyclist and work in healthcare. I feel like both of those fields are constantly pushing the envelope and have the idea that we're never really done improving. I'll never be done learning and improving on guitar. I hope the guitar can also continue to improve. I suppose we're lucky that there are builders who can make things happen.
