"If you mean musically, that's okay. Workin' on different styles (rock, jazz, country, etc.) makes you better overall."

Not exactly; I wish that were my problem, though.
Hell's bells, if I were having THOSE kinds of woes, that'd imply I knew my ass from a hole in the ground when it came to a guitar, anyway.
Which I don't. (~& it's too late to lie about it, anymore. {g} )

I practice Taekwondo -- Songahm -- & will be going for a 1st Degree Black Belt in a little under 2 years.
So at my age, that's been about as demanding of my time both physically & emotionally as anything I've ever attempted. I mean, marriage was *easy* by comparison. ;^)
Then there's the car club I've joined & all the activities which go along with that.

You get the idea; *divided* as in too many things on an already small plate? "

Been gettin' into fingerpicking on the Martin lately. It's lots of fun."

Excellent.
Man I'd love to hear ya play, Mr.A; make no mistake about that.
A professional such as yourself would have to admit one thing here, though.
A Martin -- any Martin -- makes it about as easy as it'll ever get; or, as easy as it can be.

...Martin's just such a fine instrument.

My uncle is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He studied with a tiny little (lethal) Korean guy in Florida for 15 years.

He's shown me a few helpful things over the years!

I know that is one intense discipline.

I was talking with a friend the other day about Martin guitars. He is an absolute monster player (also a full time musician), and we decided that these things play like Strats with 11's on 'em.LOL. I can't put the thing down.

You'll hear me on the tapes I'm sending you. Not great quality sound ( I do 'em on a little box), but they're for practice anyway. I'm gonna add a few extras to the typical jam-along thing I usually do.
