You serious? I'm sorry I didn't video-record anybody that said that to me at the time lol. It has been discussed in many conversations with my friends, people in other bands, employees at Guitar Center, etc.. The whole world isn't on Youtube. And I wasn't speaking of famous guitarists only. I happened to come across that video of Marty and it reminded me of how many other people I've heard say similar things IN MY OWN LIFE so I started this thread.

I'm sure I could have searched for something that would apply on Youtube, I just didn't feel like I needed to... ???

It seems like you're taking this personally, and there's no need. Just because I feel this way doesn't mean I think it applies to EVERYONE. I'm sure there are people out there who could play fast and just don't want to. I wasn't speaking in absolutes.
