Rep inbound. You're so right it isn't funny. I went into GC a couple weeks ago and saw a couple of teenagers trying to sound like Satriani. Nothing new in that. What was fun to watch was their collective jaws dropping to the floor as a much older guy picks up a strat and plays the same thing, note for note without any distortion. Yes my jaw was on the floor too, and I got more than a little satisfaction listening to this guy play for about another 30 minutes or so. That was after the kids & their girlfreinds left. :cool:
