If he is acting like that it’s probably because he’s not that good, and he’s insecure about it. People who can really play don’t act like that. They are willing to explain things, and they will encourage beginners.

He's very talented. But he lacks creativity, and I write all my own original stuff, so I'm guessing he's getting jealous, which is ridiculous in my eyes because he knows more music theory and techniques than I do. But yeah I agree that skilled players should have those qualities, but this one definitely doesn't.

Trust me, I’ve been playing guitar my whole life and professionally since college. Cats who can REALLY play at a high level would never put down a beginner. and they are almost always open with their knowledge. They don’t have to tell you how great they are, because their music does that for them. This dude ain’t shit. I’d just focus on your own progress and don’t pay his comments any mind. Make your sword a little sharper each day and you’ll be playing circles around Mr. know it all.
