Nice. I still have my first Yamaha GC and have never sold a guitar. (That's amazing for someone in my position!) I've sold amps and pedals, but never a guitar. I've given a few guitars away along the journey, but never sold one.
I've never even pawned a guitar.
Formal music education was "forced" on me by my parents, but I do not regret that and I enjoyed learning. I've taken formal lessons in french horn and trumpet, for example. I've taken piano lessons, percussion lessons, and even some informal lessons on how to play a concert and pedal harp.
I can pick up most instruments and play something that sounds vaguely familiar. Familiar enough to fool a layperson, at least.
But, the guitar will always be my true love. Classical guitar will always be my not-so-secret pleasure. For so many years, I've put in an average of 2 hours per day - of diligent practice. No, not noodling around, but deliberate practice.
Do you have a "#1 favorite guitarist of all time"?
Can I make a request for a future FNGT? Kath stretched out with "Free Form Guitar". EVH did "Eruption". Do you have something like that, something that shows off a chunk of your skills?
I forgot to hit send on this reply:
I don't really have a favorite guitarist. on any given day, my favorite could be all sorts of guitarists.
I once had a site where I wrote whole articles about guitarists who were better than Hendrix, but it got to be a burden so I dropped it from my list of activities.
Hmm...
These are all originals:

Well, the Oatmeal Song isn't really worth listening to. That was just for some amusement.
