Wriggler, I'm glad you don't freak easily, I don't either, just wanted to exercise alittle discreration after speaking something obtuse...You know, us seniors, or I should say seasoned players, really have alot to contribute to music being that we have grown up with everyone, with our knowledge and passion for electric guitar and music, there are musical domains out there to be discovered that are unique to everyone that may be within a younger generation in OUR future. Who knows? Perhaps with new instruments coming out like seven-string guitars and basses, there may be opportunities just like that out there.

Anyone else feel this way??? It's interesting??? To ponder that is...

SEVEN strings...??? I've not got used to 6 yet! I think my great contribution is going to be atonal variations on the classic songs. There's almost limitless possibilities there.

Actually despite being a child of the fifties, I was raised through the sixties/early 70's in South Africa - conservative is putting it mildly. I didn't really encounter (rock or any other) music till about 72 -73. So I stll hark back to my old Purple/Hawkwind/Quo records - cos they had the biggest impact on me at the time. Music may have moved on - I haven't.... :o
