Lots of threads deal with improving our chops and/or tone. Is there anyone out there who is happy with their sound or technique? I know things can always be improved but some people seem to obsess about it endlessly, always buying a better axe, a better amp, better pickups, new pedals.
I think there comes a time when you have a good enough axe and equipment, you know how to play the thing, and you just have to get down to doing it. Kind of like when in karate class when sensei says it's time to fight. There is no more adjusting of your gi or belt, you focus and just go to it.
I for one am pretty happy with my current sound (equipment) and chops. I know there are still lots of things I can't do technically that I work on, but overall I can do most of what I need to do very well. And there are some things I have decided I have no interest in learning how to do.
I'd just like to hear from anyone else who is content with their current sound and playing. Not that we can't all get better and improve with practice, but there has to be someone out there who feels good about where they are and what they do. I sometimes get the impression that us guitarists can come off as a bunch of whiners, and that's not me and I don't think that's you.
