its actually your post in "another question to shredders" that made me put up this thread. i really want to hear your achievement. congratulations for stretching the bounderies of the guitar. its still nice to see though that there are a lot of guitar players who only use speed if they have to. i have a huge respect for guitarists like steve morse and steve vai who only use speed to convey the emotions of the song. we know they can speed it up like the rest (hey steve vai even replaced malmsteen in alcatrazz) but still gave more priority to songwriting than showing off. and lalimacefolle, dude its always fun to read your replies.
