How to master the guitar
It made me 
"I started at age 25 with some books and a chord chart, the trick for me was only play songs I liked, skipping the theory for later.""
How I did it: I learned after college, and I cary my guitar everywhere I go for longer than 2 weeks. I learned from books and downloading song tabs on the internet. I think "master" is a bit of a stretch, but I can play most songs I want to, and have a few favorite classical guitar songs memorized.
Resources: A chord book, song tabs on the internet

Sevilla
3 days ago
Yesterday I purchased Xuefei Yang’s incredible rendition of “Sevilla”. I love it. The playing and the recording quality are both excellent. I have loved this piece since I first heard it when I was about fifteen and I subsequently felt that I would have to learn it some day! I have found a tab in Guitar Pro 5 for it that appears to be accurate – and so when I get a classical guitar and have more room in my daily routine, I shall verily be learning it.

Use Only Good Picks II
4 days ago
Using only good picks for practice I have found does make a great difference in terms of facility vis-à-vis using picks that are even slightly worn down. You may not even be able to see that it is worn down much, but I myself can definitely feel the difference. I am thinking by the New Year when I start consistently practicing 12 hours a day, that it may become necessary that I change to a new pick after even every day of practice. Maybe my Jim Dunlop 1.5mm picks will last longer for practice on electric guitar as most of my practice will be done on an electro-acoustic guitar on which I use Jazz III picks.

On fast passages it is probably best to increase the angle of the thumb pick in relation to the string for facility of motion.

Derek Trucks Guitar Solo

I have liked Derek Trucks’ guitar playing for years. In fact, this video is the first I had heard of him and from that point on, needless to say, I was hooked. He manages to convey so much expression through slide guitar and I love his phrasing.

Endless Road – change picking pattern of phrase at end of measure 8. (down, down, up, down). Apply similar to measure 5.
Nuages – all positions in measure 8 should be barred.
