Someone spoke of Guitar Wars earlier. Let me tell you a story...I was King Shred on my block. 15 years a vigorous training under my belt...basically...I was the bomb. I went to L.A. Guitar Wars thinking I could hold my own against most people there...?...What was I thinking?! A 17 year old kid from Nebraska put me under hack as soon as I made an attempt at sweeps. This kid was clean, fast, smooth and above all - pleasant to listen to. 17 YEARS OLD!!! I talked to him later that night and found out that he'd been playing only 5 years...I had 15 under my belt. This kid smoked me very early on. He ended up loosing to some speed demon from hell.

The moral of my story...If you ever meet a dude named Tommy from Nebraska...and he just so happens to be playing a slime-green Ibanez Universe...break his guitar and tell him to get back to the corn fields!

It was a good experience for me. I would advise anyone to go. But, I would suggest watching the first year and entering the second time if you had the guts, talent aand work ethic. It is a major task my friend.

Sorry, guys if I'm posting in the wrong place. I'm just sharing a story...PEACE!
