There's a fine line between giving the sense of freedom and being too free.
When you think about where guitar playing is going today...: it's going everywhere at the same time.
I'm ready to take the heat.
I assume most guitar players are like me. They're playing, having fun; then they get a magazine in the mail that says "Shred Is Dead" and they say, "What the Hell?" They throw it away and keep on playing.
When you hear something you don't like, don't ever play it again.
It really sucks when music is so perfect you just don't need to hear it anymore.
