For the most part it got shot down in favor of a "with enough practice anyone can do it" mindset. I'm still sellin' the talent angle. I think some people just have something in their DNA that makes the whole math/science/art of music (or playing a guitar as it applys here) easier to digest and execute. Sure, there's plenty to be said for practice but I sure would like a little helping of that "talent" thing.
Hey Rich- how about that crazy bend in bar 4 of the WLL solo? I can't get it - I have to move up a couple of frets and settle for a 1 1/2 step bend. For a short solo it's great- looking forward to your video :) Good Luck
