I've played guitar mostly my whole life, but most of it without much creative punch or growth - until about 10 years ago, I switched to electric. It's not that electric is any better (because it isn't) but the transition and the advent of the web conspired to push me to be better and that's something.
I live on a farm near Chapel Hill NC (home of the Tarheels), and don't like it when people that don't try at anything find so many critical things of others who do try.
