Be prepared to hear all kinds of advice and comments, good and bad, from people who hear you play. It always amazes me the things a total stranger will say to you,i.e. " Those guitars suck", or, "You played that wrong" etc. Ignore the assholes, listen to the sincere, and find your own path. Besides, you can always log on to the 'cat and get great advice. Good luck, and practice 'til you bleed.
