The more I play in front people the more you realise "feeling" is more important than speed, cos when you play covers and it doesn't sound like or better than the real thing its quiet embrassing. I used to really hate those blues lovers and acomplished players who went on and on about "feel". Ignored those players for years from telling me speed isnt everything. Well that phrase is kicking into my brains now. But I still want to shred like a madman with whole lotta emotion :)
