For years and years..all I ever wanted to be was like Yngwie, vai, Rhoads, etc. It was not till I got older that I saw I was limiting myself.

After I got out of that mode..I started to want to be just myself (Took me years to figure it out) And am branching off into different styles, yet not abandoning my old,(I could never do that..that's a part of who I am as a musician)
