An impossible question to answer! Actually, almost impossible to have a sensible debate about!

Whatever they are, you can guarantee I don't know at least 16 of them.

And if you're talking complete songs, I'm totally $%&#ed.

Ergo, I am not a guitarist.

All I know is that I class myself as a guitarist and not a musician...

I think I'm going to class myself as an "artist"..... that should be non-specific enough.   :|

I think of you as a guitar curator...

Not a collector, as you have the urge to collect but you hardly ever keep (or use)  :lol:

Yeah, it's all about the "hunt" and the catch, then I lose interest.

I do keep quite a lot (although when I look back at some of my purchases, I'm amazed how quickly they came and went!)

But you're certainly right about me not using them.  :|

Likewise. I consider myself an pedal builder, tinkerer and general noise maker ;)

If you only know parts of songs Philly perhaps you could do a video like the '100 riffs' one. Just a suggestion.
