    He's very right about the guitar. I also get uncomfortable or bothered if I go more than a day without picking it up. Although I feel like I need to do legato and alternate picking exercises every day to keep my chops and finger constitution up to par. It is an endless love with no final destination.

    Always loved Paul's music, and guitar playing, and appreciate his skills.
    But he did learn A LOT when he came to England, and hung around with the English Folk artists of that time, Bert Jansch etc, and he took a lot from their styles and added it to his own.
