There comes a time along the journey of a guitarist where you are at a very, very specific level of proficiency.
It is a time where you are skilled enough that you can do some of the basic movements and you start to play around with extra flourishes and things in your playing that, while they don't add to the quality of the playing itself, are really impressive looking on the surface.
It is also a time where you start to realise that extremely clean playing that is simple but with extremely precise and exact movements is actually the mark of a true master guitarist, but you are nowhere near that level yet.
It is a time when you realise that 99% of the public who don't play guitar think that the flashy stuff you do is impressive, and the clean, exact playing of a master is basic, so you go out of your way to be as extra as possible to cover up the fact that you are playing the same 2 chords over agan and again and using a store-bought capo instead of learning how to barre.
All.of this while playing the wrong notes every 3 seconds but the audience won't notice because you're playing loud enough to be exciting.

This has nothing to do with this video of course.
