A friend of mine once had a guitar, it was a cheap squire strat, even as a learner I thought I could tell it was a terrible guitar, the action was so high I think it legally needed a transponder. Anyway, one day a friend brings one of their musician friends over, he picks up the guitar and shreds on this thing like I've never seen before, it sounds incredible, he doesn't complain about the guitar at all, he just rips on it.<p>I learned an important lesson that day about artistic pursuits. It's rarely the tool/instrument. It's mostly the artist.
