Very cool Kasperow!!! That's great that you were able to make that leap.
Joe Perry of Aerosmith is an awesome guitarist. What I hear a solo in my head, it often sounds like a Joe Perry solo - think the "Walk This Way" solo.
I never got into their 80's stuff, but back in the 70's (Toys in the Attic, Rocks, Get Your Wings, Aerosmith), they absolutely ROCKED!
Once I get my chops up a bit speed and technique-wise, I'm going to try and tackle some Aerosmith tunes.
