I was looking at the homepage of guitartricks, and I noticed the N.E.S button, next to all the great guitarists we all love... I wondered for a moment who's that guy? Another mysterious guy, like buckethead? So I clicked on it, and what a surprise, all my favorite video games' music!! There's everything, the mario theme, zelda, etc...

Here's my question. Do you quote video games or tv themes in your solos? If so, which ones? And why? Do you think quoting is useful? Is it foolish?

I personnally love inspector gadget, it adds a jazzy flavor to my lines. I use quotes a lot because I tend to shred on the guitar, and it's like I was saying to the audience, "see, I'm not doing that to impress you, it's just what I hear in my head"
