Great technique, good showman, no soul, IMHO of course :) ID: 606901 ·

The guitar is an instrument that I have dreamed of mastering, but it is not to be. I took piano lessons at the age of 15, but it didn't work out so well. I had visions of being Jerry Lee Lewis. Oh well, that sixtys stuff just really had me hooked. Thanks for sharing. This thread is NOT closed. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 607599 ·
