Very well said Azrael. When I first started playing, that was exactly my philosophy. Get fast=Your great. But then I started to realize how wrong I was.

I'm kind of lucky. My mom is a professional pianist and she majored in music composition. She has sheet music from every era there is, from all the great composers and musicians. Whenever I'm in a rut, I just take out a book like, Bach's Clavier sonatas and put some stuff on guitar. But it doesn't end there.

I still practice technique and all that, but I try to think of more musically profound ideas.

About this playing - Ya I have the opinion of everybody else. Wowed by the technique, but boring. The only thing that ticks me off, is that I have this bassist friend, who showed me it. He keeps going "Oh its sooooo sick!" Like every day. I tried to explain the whole deal to him, but he just doesn't get it. He really doesn't understand why its boring. But I guess thats how people who aren't musicians feel about it. Like before I started guitar, I listened to punk rock. Once I started, and listened to an Ozzy album, I went and broke every Offspring CD I owned.

And that IS great!!!:)

Yeah, one last comment.

If you want a REAL reply from Fareri, you should email him. He will respond, his english isn't the best, but you'll get the point.

Or just go to www.theshredzone.com, he's answering questions at the forum there.

But he's a really nice and humble guy, I feel bad for him because of all the hateful comments directed towards him. He's got his share of hatemails, that's for sure.
