Welcome!

Thank you so much!
I suspect we'd be a dangerous rhythm/lead combination! (I'm calling shotgun on rhythm for the time being!) In any event, it probably depends on who you're listening to- I grew up listening to lots of blues and blues influenced guitarists, David Gilmour primarily. I unfortunately looked at some amazing musicians as being all technicals (Yngwie, Satriani, etc.), but no soul. I realized later that you need both.

The more I learn, the less I seem to have known, and the more playing the guitar seems to be somewhere between Zen and Jedi! :)
