Before I wasn't playing with emotion, I was trying to impress people with speed and technical capabilities. Now, not that I don't want to excel in those areas still, but those are far from the only elements of what music is.

So thank you to you all for opening my eyes. Lyrics are pouring out of me now. I've started to try my hand at singing. I'm trying to match those lyrics with the right music to give it a proper feel. Life is good...

Thanks guys.

Good. Instrumentals are (generally) boring. Lyrics is where it's at.
