I can see where that might happen, but it is still a great way to make it less intimidating. I would be satisfied if I could rock out with some favorites of mine too. I can strum along and play some decent rhythm, but the leads are just a foreign language to me.
I also need to work more on fingerpicking.
I have just been a campfire guy since the beginning. Guess I need to try and branch out a bit.
Cheers.
