You've got to have a good time playing and dedicate a lot of time to it. It's very demanding. I was surprised, and I asked why. That's old-folks' philosophy, but it's really deep, too. So I'd tell guitarists not to get discouraged.
Life is what changes.
Now we're like a whole world that's opening up with this and that. But it's actually a very small world. We've always had the same customs and the same kind of humor. For example, in a flamenco fiesta, somebody says something funny and those that aren't insiders won't understand it. It's a small world, but you've got to be inside it and live it all your life to understand it.
