When I was a young kid, I heard "Green River" by "Creedence Clearwater Revival", and I thought that was just the coolest sound I had ever heard in my life! I knew at that moment what it was that I was destined to do. From that moment on I have been persuing the guitar as passionately as I can. I have never approached the guitar in any other way. "Passion"! I don't try do it to be better than everyone else. I do it because I'm obsessed with it. The fact that other people enjoy what I do and pay to hear me do it is a huge added bonus! I also do session work. In return I try to be the best I can possibly be at what I do. I haven't got rich doing it yet, but that's not why I do it. I love to perform.
I don't know who the best player on this site is, but it all depends on your style. I've heard lalimacefolle(the crazy slug?:confused: ) on his web site. Very impressive!:cool: But can you play "I hung it up" by "Jr Brown"?:eek: The point being, two very hot guitar players, two very different styles. Both extremly good at what they do, but you can't compare the two. I'm good at what I do, that's why I get paid, but that's not why I do it. If you're happy at what you do, that's all that matters. If you're not, then it's time to move on. Be the best player that "you" can be. If you can make your instrument do what you want it to, then you've succeeded. Please your self first and the rest will fall into place. Be passionate with your playing. It will make a big difference.:cool:

There's no substitute for expeience. So get out there and break some strings on stage.
