How good you were/are...

I was playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Nothing Else Matters" among others.

gosh when i was a kid i was playin bout like i
am now , badly lol. course i didnt know it then
cuz my ego and zeal overpowered by ear. :P

well im only 14, but i play some grateful dead, i try to play free bird (well, i dont suck at it anymore) wish you where here i can play, and some rolling stones and bob dylan.

Right now I turned 14 about 1 month ago and I can play a lot of stuff. Right now I am into Satriani and Vai. I also really like SRV, Hendrix, any type of blues improv, and classical. I can do all the techniques except string skipping very well. I also need to work on sweeping a little. I am working on the Crossroads duel and I have about half of it down. So in 2 years time, I hope I can play a ton of cool stuff. Check some of the tricks I posted out. I will provide sound files as soon as I can get the right stuff on this computer. Search for Marcus and I think you'll find them.

I could play "Stairway To Heaven" when I was 16 and Jimmy Page didn't write it until he was 21 so I must be better than him right?

Ha! When I was 16, it was 1986 I wanted to be George Lynch!
DOKKEN!! I'm not ashamed to say it!! It took me a like 2 weeks to get the solo of "In my dreams" down. My band at the time - HARD STEEL (geeeeez) took first place in the school talent show with that song!

When I am sixteen (in 2 years) i'll probably be able to do most stuff possible on the guitar. Right now im 14, and can do most Paganini, Bach, Racer X etc. (although not as fast as id like to be able to do!! lol). Sweeping and shredding are some cool things i like to do a lot, oh yeah and i really like legato type stuff.

:cool: Slasha

Cool Slasha. Good luck with the most things possible though. LoL. I bet you will kick ass but all things possible... I don't know about that.

Hey Slasha nm, I shouldn't be commenting because I don't know what you can play. NM me lol :-) I am too competitive when it comes to guitar. Slasha email me @ fenderguitarist2002@yahoo.com and tell me where you find accurate tabs for Racer X and Paganini and what kinda shredding you like to do. Cool! And go to http://www.digevent.com/events/consumer/music/guitar_mania. This site is awesome. Later everyone

I have now reached the grand old age of 3 1/2 and can tap with all thirteen fingers and am currently working on being the world's first toe tapping guitarist.

Really?! Wow.. Lol.

I can see the advertisements:

"The TOETAPPER is here again, come to see the amazing show." Or something.. Hopefully not though.. :)
