After all I've been a knife maker for nearly twenty years now, when I look back at what I started out making I can see a lot of progress. They have all been serviceable tools, the looks fit and finish plus experimentation with new materials are what have changed.

Hm, most people I'v met that have practised something for 20 years have gotten rather good at it; maybe you're just modest...

One thing is for sure,it feels like it going to take more than twenty years to master the guitar! especially with fingers used to making knives.
