Re: Critics
I did not encounter many different types of critics yet. Once you can consider yourself an intermediate amateur, the flaws you notice in your playing go unnoticed by most of your listeners. At least that's the experience I made so far...
Of course, if there are musicians in the audience, they'll notice, especially when they play the same kind of music. But I experienced most musicians to be very friendly and thus to belong to the group of "constructive critics" Mark mentions.
