Some guys (yeah mostly guys it seems?!) think they're God, when in fact they’re merely
good.
I think have seen a trend: the more humble the guitarist, the better he/she will play.
I met some of the greats out there and guess what - they are all humble guys with no exception...

Me: WOW! You played great!!
Steve Lukather: Ah, c'mon man.. It was not that great, but you sure know how to make an old man feel good. Gimme a hug, c'mon
(then leaves off with a few girls

Andy Timmons: Are you also a guitarist?
Me: Well, yeah, let's say so
Andy: And where will your next show take place?
Me: I am performing with a philharmonic orchestra in 2 days from now in one of our biggest venues in Bucharest.
Andy: WOW! Man, I am so happy for you - I have never played with an orchestra so far, but I will be doing it in Tokyo in 6 months from now - how does it feel like, can you give me some tips maybe?
Me: - stunned - almost crying
So why are some guitarist walking the macho road, when all we’re trying to do is express our feelings? What do you think is a good example of a self-obsessed vs a humble guitarist?
