female guitarist? That's a new one, hehehe. Hmmm, shredding's cool, yes. I do intend to learn to shredd. Well, I've been playing guitar for about a year now and so far there's only one solo I can play... Hendrix's Hey Joe. I did attempt some others before but got disscouraged when I got tabs for them from the net and I just couldn't make the solo sound right. So once I decided to attempt the solo from Hey Joe I got a couple of tabs from the net and I realized they're more or less useless. Took me an afternoon just to figure out the mistakes in the tabs.
Anyway, welcome :)
Btw, what do you (or anyone else for that matter) think of Blackmore? He's one of my favorites. Well, his latest music I hate but he was great in Purple and Rainbow, don't you think?
