Tunesmith - it should be all about being positive and patient,
helping other guitar players to enjoy learning and improving...

Sadly too many see guitar mastery as an egotistical competitive sport,
with extra points scored for being hostile and standoffish to learners...

..or downright spitefully undermining their confidence...

One of life's mysteries..
why do so many of these arseholes seem to work as sales assistants in big city guitar shops...???
