I live in Modesto Califorina, not really a Hero, but Everyone that has lived in modesto has probley seen Kid Guitar, a Homeless man that roams modesto and plays guitar for a living. I think the only thing he likes more than guitar is being homeless.


Anyone have something like that in there town?

I live in Athens, Ohio. It's a really liberal, hippy college-town. There's a bunch of guys like that here, but they suck. Just dirty people playing for bucks. But I'm not here to pass judgement, whatever floats your boat.

Well at my suprise, lots of kids in my town (about 20.000 folks) see me as an amazing guitar player just because I know a lot Metallica and Maiden via Guns stuff. Than I got pretty good reputation Ā“cause of a guitar teacher (the only one in our town who teaches in schools).

i live near chicago, so i would assume there's tons of guitarists out there in the city. i've seen a couple, they're all blues guys. you never see a street guitar shredder
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Have you heard that story, about the witch that gives the poor people the magic pot, and they can tell it to cook, and it will keep cooking and cooking Pourge. i want a Magic Wok that will give me a endless supply of orange chicken. That would be neat.
