I'm playing a variety of things now. I've gone away from the thrash. About the only Metallica I play now is off the "Black" CD. I mainly play classic rock, 80's stuff, blues and stuff like Fuel, SR-71 and Weezer. I guess as I've aged my fingers aren't as nimble and quick as they used to be. LOL or maybe my tastes lean towards things that are more melodic and soulful now.
