I'm damn near at the 4 year mark (as if that means anything) and I still have tons to learn. But I think, like was mentioned earlier, that I'm starting to develop my own style.

Monday I was drunk off of Olive Garden wine and at a music store and I took a pimped out Ibanez off the wall and gave it a whirl on a Marshall 40 watt in the store. Normally, I'm too self-conscious to be "the dude" who's playing while other people walk around and pretend not to notice. But I was just intoxicated enough to where I was inhibited but still had perfect control of my fine motor skills. I just let it rip and got a few looks of approval from passers-by. I know that sounds contrived (and it is) but it was still nice to see.
