Well I have never played with a guitarist that could match or beat my top speed, but no biggie. As for PB, that sux bro. I just dunno if I want to get ANOTHER photo hosting account.

I guess I could.

And that guy in the pic up there is Miles Kennedy. He is a Spokane boy by the way.

I can detune/retune ala John Bonham.

I know what'cha mean. He took the tastefulness of Billy Gibbons's
ZZ Top technique and totally BASTARDIZED it.

Does he ever play actual NOTES? LMAO

Aye zakk is a huge harmonic wanker, he can still school me pound for pound speedwise though, I shamefully top out at about 160 straight sixteenths.. Thats alot of alternate picking too not all over the place, the a meager 120. Kyle no can shred, on a guitbox

Walkinghairball · Post by **Walkinghairball** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 2:53 pm

That's ok too though. See the way I look at it, the silent notes are just as important as the noisy ones.

Rests are good!!!!

Gene $immons said on a video that a good power chord that will crack ones ribs is sometimes better than a billion notes that sounds like a bunch of angry bees.

haha thats a good one, I am not overly concerned with playing fast , I am concerned with being able to play everything, any style, any speed haha. On a bass however... and noone plays my guitar, except me ofcourse

Man, all'a you guys are cracking me up

And you're so right about quality over quantity, And if your solo section is a memorable "song within itself," one that can be remembered 30 years in the future (like any solo Alex ever recorded and especially in 2112) you've got it right. IMO I haven't accomplished a solo like that, but I hain't daid yets

I'd like to achieve either someday. My solos are lame.
