So far I've been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.
