Throughout your life, you'll continue to learn from multiple sources. Even the masters of guitar continue to learn -- an example is that Steve Vai spent time studying Bulgarian Wedding music and it had a big influence on his current technique. I'm sure that when he was 19 years old he would have never thought he'd be influenced by Bulgarian Wedding music.

One of the great things about GuitarTricks is that there are thousands of videos taught by over 40 instructors from around the world. Even though there is a certain underlying structure to the lessons, the instructors (who come from all different backgrounds) all emphasize different elements of thinking and playing and teaching. They all bring something unique to the site and each share their own professional and artistic experience.

And the truth is, you'll never stop learning! So yes, learn from any source available! And be sure to use GuitarTricks to its maximum (explore all the different styles and teachers), because we're going to keep teaching for as long as you want to keep learning!
