I'm not good enough to be a teacher, but I do enjoy listening to teachers who are open-minded... I was impressed by one guitar teacher of many years' respected experience, who said he loved going to listen to fairly average players in pubs, because they very often did something which made him ask himself: 'how the hell did they do THAT?'

He said it made him remember there were always different ways to do things, and that less experienced players may have discovered something he could learn from.
