Glad to hear it, Michael. Rick's story about Chet meeting Andres is one I had heard as well, and reinforces the point that there are lots of ways to play well. Reading back over my post, I realize that I probably harped too much on the "correctness" of classical guitar technique. It's probably better to say that classical technique has much to recommend it; especially the fact that the ergonomics are really studied at length by classical guitarists, and this type of focus would benefit any player, regardless of the technique he ultimately employs or the style of music he prefers to play.

I'll also second Risk's mention of Guy Van Duser -- an oustanding player on a nylon string guitar, who incorporates elements from a lot of different styles.

Finally, I think you're absolutely right about how switching between instruments can help you maintain a fresh perspective and appreciation for each type of instrument. It sounds to me like you have a pretty healthy outlook on the lifelong process of learning to play. And keep these threads coming -- like Rick, I enjoy discussing technique.
