i was reading some posts at http://www.guiatartabs.cc, and it was under the most underated thread. anyways, a kid was saying that he went to a John Petrucci clinic and there he SAW Petrucci play eruption with his left hand while playing with a yo-yo in his right.

that's friggin! amazing


To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Well, that doesn't surprise me. I heard about Malmsteen playing it with his left hand and tying his shoe, or something like that, with the other.

Everyone always has to feel like they're the best . . .

From a game downloadable from Primus' web page who's name this board will turn into "****:"

"Though fond of getting drunk and flying air planes, Primus has never covered "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver."

Also, my guitarist pretended to be John Denver back from the dead and played for me a live rendition of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" with his acoustic on his radio show the night before I left to go to Washington DC. Cool, huh?
