Thanks for all the comments and well-wishes, especially Afghan and Davey. PDT_008

My musical road has not taken me where I would have expected it, but that's the way life's surprises often play out -- not what you expected, but oftentimes they are precisely what you need to transcend.

I had the privelege of taking lessons or attending master classes by:

Joseph Scro
Joe Frederico
Tal Farlow
Arlen Roth
Pat Martino
Steve Vai
Sharon Isbin
Paul Gilbert
Greg Howe
Carlos Alamar

In Urshurak and TO, I've had the privilege of playing with, and in one case co-headlining with the following bands:

Jag Panzer (co-headline)
Lynch Mob
Blaze
Symphony X (3 times)
Fozzy
Metal Church
Overkill
Angel Dust
Nightwish
Angra
Nasty Savage
Testament

I also have the honour of endorsing several great products, including Bare Knuckle pickups, Wayne Guitars, Splawn amplifiers, and Home Brew Electronics pedals.

So basically what you're saying is that it's been a complete and total waste of time as you haven't achieved anything in that time and to cap it all off, you STILL have cr@p taste in equipment! :twisted:

Happy belated Birthday btw, dunno if you got my Myspace PM or not?

Everyone knows an E# demolished is just an F flatulent with a raised front loader.

Happy birthday Ben.

I started playing guitar when I was about 17 or 18. So I'm a long way from 25 years of playing. But I am on my way of playing guitar longer than I haven't.
