I'm gonna hang it up now....go sell all of my equipment..... :roll: :wink: :lol:

God has really given you a great talent
There is nothing wrong with NOT be able to play like EVH. Ever hear the EP Brain May did with EVH? May totally out classed and out played EVH.
The more muscial lines May played the more furstrated EVH got and relied more and more on "bee in heat" skits. You play what you like and appreciate others but don't beat yourself up if it's not in you.

Not really beating myself up....just injecting some humor ( doesn't really translate well on a forum...) Everytime I hear a guy just rip I always act like " woe is me...I can't play..." But my Favorites, Zeppelin, Allman Brothers , SRV, Clapton, Buddy guy...those guys can say more with ONE note than many of the speed freaks.

But in all seriousness..excellent playing rockstah! Very Talented, I stand by my statement of a great gift from above....truly blessed.

I was so glad in the late 80's when GnR, Telsa, Great White came out...I didn't have to try and shred anymore :D ...back to my blues rock playing!!

Now if we could all figure out a way to get rid of all of the crap on the radio, and the grammys :twisted: , and bring back classic rock!!!!!!
