Looks like it's this one. I'll look into getting this myself too as I find the fingerstyle technique really fascinating.

I got my first guitar when I was 13 and I would sit next to the tape player playing along with metallica songs. I'd buy blank tapes and just fill them with riffs, and keep logs of tabs to correspond in a note-book. I got a warlock when I was 17 (99?), and I started really improving with my friends... covering black metal songs, black sabbath songs, and our own stuff. Then high school got out and I just stopped... now I'm 27. I play a bit more now than I have in the last 7-8 years, but my guitar is so old and crappy, I don't have any gear any more... and maybe its just the lack of group motivation, but I feel I missed my window when my brain was still young, and I just don't any better. I get more practiced yes, but not better per say.
Am I alone with this feeling?
I always get that feeling.
I've got a similar back story to you, I started learning when I was about 13 or 14 and recorded almost everything I could think of onto tape. I still have some kicking around in a box under my bed
I'm 31 now and still don't feel like I've improved much. I'm not so bad at rhythm but solos I just can't do. Perhaps it's just lack of practise as I don't really take it as seriously as I used to, plus I release my musical urges through computer software these days and not so much with the guitar.
I still play the guitar regularly but not to the extent I did at one time. I also find it hard to stick to one sound on my pedal board. It never sounds quite right to me so I tweak the settings more and more and getting frustrated with it.
Lack of patience and an abundance of laziness is probably my biggest problem these days lol.
Stick with it though, if you still have the urge to do it then you should definitely keep at it
