Jonathan Taylor has won praise from audiences, critics and fellow musicians around the world. The Philadelphia Inquirer described him as "America's Leading Classical Guitarist"

You can see why on his YouTubechannel.

In this episode of the Abeceder Work Life Balance podcast, Rest and Recreation Jonathan describes how he became a guitarist and the impact that learning a musical instrument has had on his life.

Jonathan talks about the process of learning, and how his need to learn more crafted personality and behavioural traits that made him stand out from his peers.

The more Jonathan learnt, the more he wanted to learn, and the more confident he became.
