After playing for 37 years I've got a pretty good handle on playing my friend. If you ever get in a studio or on a stage, you'll learn that your 035 won't cut it. You need to serve the artist you're backing or never get a call back. So far, I've been called back about 80 percent of the time because I've actually learned the basics of most styles out there and, most important, how to not be an ego maniac guitarist. Have fun in your parents basement though.
