Whatever you are motivated to do, you'll do. Motivation is an "inside job"....always has been, always will be. Whatever someone else thinks or believes or trys to get you to do or not do isn't worth the fine hair on a fat frog's ass.So no, you shouldn't try. It's a waste of time and you're far too stupid and lack any semblance of talent in that direction not to mention that your learning skills are shot to hell and there is no good reason to do it anyway.
OR
Go for it man! Learn all of those licks you've been dying to do for decades. You've been practicing non-stop and there's no where to go but up and your guitar skills have never been better. No time like now to become a combination Tony McManus and Eric Clapton!
FINALLY
Who gives a shit besides you and why ask us? It's your call, not ours.
