GUEST,marty D Could I play like Doc Watson? seriously. (85* d) Could I play like Doc Watson? seriously. 17 Sep 00

I'm pretty sure I know what the answer's going to be but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I can keep a beat, sing on key, and I know quite a few chords, but if I had one wish it would be to be able to play some Doc Watson songs ALMOST as good as the master. The best guitarist I know said you have to start learning this kind of music when you're a kid or you just run out of time. Well I'm no kid, in fact I won't see 40 again. When I look at the tab for Baumont Rag or Southbound I get totally confused. Is it hopeless? I AM serious, if anyone has any suggestions.
