I don't play an instrument but if I did, I would definitely want to watch this if I hadn't already.

The time between 14:00 & 16:00 of this interview caught me by surprise.

    Cool, thanks for sharing, I've never seen that. I found the part after 16:00 more interesting myself, when he's talking about people judging themselves against Clapton or whoever, and how people shouldn't judge themselves on technical skill. When I first started playing guitar I felt like just tossing the guitar in the dumpster a few times after seeing or hearing the likes of Clapton, Page, etc. If it weren't for bands like Nirvana I probably would have, because they showed you don't have to be a technical virtuoso to have something to offer. Any kid with two working hands and a working knowledge of the guitar can play about 90% of their catalog, and they are great songs. Pearl Jam is a little more technical, but there are a lot of songs that are simple to play, as long as you don't care about learning the solos, especially Ed's writing before he got much better in recent years.

    I found that interesting also. Even in general terms during life when we fall victim to comparison. We are all definitely guilty of it. Tough to navigate sometimes when you're feeling blue.
