The two posts above serve as a wonderful representation of Shy Boy losing it. He has run out of logical fire power and is not nit-picking my type-o's in an effort to make me feel bad about myself because he has been incorrect all this time and wastes his life making videos about guitarists who do no...

Ok, boys, I have some work that I need to get done. At the moment, you are only serving to distract me. Maybe we can do this again some other time.

Hmm, I see, those really are the only words that I have typed this entire time. Wow, I'm an ignorant piece of shit, huh? Why don't you go back and read the rest of my posts, you illiterate twat. I am pretty sure that I have said a little bit more than I you have given me credit for. Your previous st...

I'm not trying to turn you people onto any new music. If you think that this shred stuff is complex, I don't think you're ready to move forward. If you would like, why not trying to listen to some Debussy or Jullian Bream's Ultimate Guitar Collection.

I have listened to enough Lane to know that I dislike him. Friends have put his music on while we're together, people have sent me his songs over the internet and I have watched videos. I liked none of it. So why would I go and try to listen to a whole album of music that I already do not like? I'm ...

Whatever temporary form your life situation has taken to make you believe that you are "happy"… realize that it will soon pass. No new knowledge, more refined opinions, abilities, or love relationships are going to bring you true lasting peace and joy with life, nor will they cover up the backgroun...

James Brown is hardly a name drop. You can't accept that others may have a different taste in music than you have, so you stroll into threads that don't tickle your fancy and start ripping on people who just wanna discuss the music they enjoy. Is that hard for you to come to terms with? You listen t...

Shy Boy: Please stop making comments about how I am going to die unhappily. At the very least, I will be listening to much better music than you when I go out. You also have no idea how wonderful my life is - making you the ignorant one for commenting on it. Next - Lane is crap. He comes very close ...

First thing is first - Vai is not my idol. If we want to talk about idols, the only thing that would come close would maybe be Jason Vieaux or Julian Bream. Second - I understand plenty about that kind of music. I have played it in bands. The funny thing is, I used to listen to it. I might have even...

You say that I don't have the ability to comprehend such "complex" music. The fact of the matter is that this music is one of the closest things to cave man music that we have today. It is all extremly primal and appeals to your most unevolved love of all things intense. Everything is prefectly rhyt...

Yes... I was that guy. Vai does not make music that is the slightest bit like that of Rusty Cooley or any of those other guys. He actually makes musical ideas. I am, if anything, just trying to help you all discover that the quality of music is not in any correlation to how fast it is. The sooner th...

I do try.

All I'm saying is that none of this shit is music. It's excercises with powerchords behind it.

Fine with me... at least I can actually play.

Jesus Christ... I hate this shit.

I doubt you (or your other Jazz friends) are even capable of displaying intensity in the way he does. You have no idea what you're talking about. I have friends who will blow your mind. I know sax players and even bass players who will make your jaw drop. And just so you know, I used to be a the bi...
