His story is very similar to mine

...but mine did not result in anything that could be considered as a success. The difference is that he picked up the guitar again, and I really did not.

Is there a moral to that story? Maybe... Some may wonder if I would take up the guitar again, but I dunno.... (lol).

There are so many resources now available on Youtube and perhaps elsewhere, which did not exist for me in the '70's. That may sound like an excuse, and perhaps it is.
Anyway, he has an explanation for why he became more successful with his guitar growth, and that is what the video is about.
