  dude! I totally appreciate your &apos;demo&apos; style. I didn&apos;t realize it was anything less or more than a great demo style

  Phil, that shoe analogy is perfect! Totally makes sense.

  Don&apos;t sweat it man, your playing is far more than adequate.

  I always enjoy Phil&apos;s demos, and I&apos;d be happy if I could play as well as he does. Most of all, I appreciate that fact that Phil always keeps it real and doesn&apos;t &nbsp;take &nbsp;himself too seriously. Can&apos;t say the same about Beato (though I do enjoy his interviews) .

  Phil, thanks for the things that you do. I really enjoy just listening to you. Talk about stuff. Thanks. Keep up the good work. God bless.

  Rick Beato was a music professor and I get the feeling he is naturally highly critical in addition to being analytical. Maybe something that comes out more in unedited interactions with him. I can just imagine the concept of not grinding yourself into bone meal to improve a skill being so foreign and inconceivable to him, and here comes Phil the guy who doesn&apos;t even listen to guitar demos. Hilarious and well told.

  Phil, you are the master of information. I don&apos;t watch your videos to see you play but I think you&apos;re pretty good. I really get a lot out your channel and I am a bassist. I have not found any purely bass or guitar channels up to your level of information and expertise.

  1. I didn&apos;t realize how important neck shape was in my first 10-15 years of playing, because I pretty much just played an Ibanez RG with a silly-thin Wizard neck. It was trying out my first Gibsons (an Explorer and a few LPs) that made me stop like, &quot;Whoa. This is much more comfortable.&quot; Thing is, Ibanez usually ticks all the other boxes, but I&apos;ve actually resorted to aftermarket necks (tons of trial-and-error) to find a neck I like and replace &apos;em. And even still, I&apos;ll sand down some for comfort.<br><br>2. I 100% appreciate the &quot;I practice as I can; I play to just demo things (and full songs off the channel)&quot;. I&apos;m also middle aged and just not interested in someone else&apos;s goals or assessments. With all due respect to Beato, of course ;) His started off with showing his kids&apos; virtuosity, so there&apos;s a different angle there.

  I super appreciate your honesty here. We don&apos;t need to play like Satch or Slash. You&apos;re great as you are. And that goes to everyone that might read this comment
