I personally go by using technique as a color palate to the paintbrush that is my music. I have got many colors under my belt and I use them to paint a good picture. You just have to think about what you are playing as you do so. Think about the sound you want to come out of your guitar and make it happen. Take that garble of noise and make it into something good.

But what the hell, this is the first time I've posted something on here so what would I know.
