ahahaha k bro my bad.... i'll try to be more sensitive next time. Some ppl have the knack for shredding. i've been playing electric for a year and i'm waaay better on an acoustic - but hey i'm only 17. theres a king shredder on this board he's the 18 year old. Thh crossraods solo isn't easy. I always mess up at the ending bit (we're taliking about the part when the little kid plays the fast stuff and vai throws a fit and chucks geetar on the ground rite? and he starts hopping (victory dance)around after he pisses vai off yeah? ) well the endings way past the 15 fret and its easy to mess up there. check dis out i've been playing for 6 years now and i'm like the blink 182 geetarist compared to the 18 yr old shredder here. man!

Who cares any way ... i'll put up a post regarding nu metal and shredding ... i've cracked it.

anyways don't look at us as overbearing status symbols -- just play for the sake of playing not getting better overnight. That Will guy i was talking about hates his geetar now. He's never had the experiance of writting his own song or his own solo's and he's stuck with all this knowlege he doesn't know where to go. He's what we call the synthetic drone - he lacks creativity - look at him now (well u can't he lives in my block) - any wayz ... play what u feel like playing and u'll get where u want to go.
