this must be one of those guitarist-ego syndromes...
"look i practice 12 hours a day" .... "you suck - i practice 20 hours a day" .... "but i´m faster - i can play 3 billion notes a second" ...


Like my hero, The Sphinx said, "To learn my teachings, I must first teach you how to learn"...



Also, "You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums".
... and that's all I have to say about that.
