Yeah...I hear you Rikki. I need to think more about "is it all worth it?" Do you get out of it even half of what you put into it? The answer is NO. I'm not going to win any popularity contests because I can play arpeggios at the speed of light (maybe even faster?)!
But, thanks for the reality check. I tend to get carried away. Your REALITY CHECK fixed that! I'm going to put my hand in a cast so I can't type the next time I decide to post my own "tutorial."
