I'd also like to point out to any of you that are confused- being able to play Guitar Hero does NOT mean you can play guitar. Please stop approaching me at my own gigs to smugly announce you can do Dragonforce on hard.

I didn't go to sleep that day until I unearthed my PS2, the PS2 version and clocked the entire thing in one session.

My inner pedant though is quick to point out that a bass guitar is still technically a guitar...
Joe Satriani - technically astonishing, but his playing seems to lack feel or soul, if you know what I mean. I'd rather listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn or Buddy Guy, personally.

technical ability amounts to shit all in my eyes - I went to see Paul Gilbert do a guitar workshop a couple of years ago and he's technically amazing, but there's a bit of soul there too which was good. Nice guy too.

there's a name I haven't heard for a bit! Did he demonstrate the electric drill thing he used to do with Billy Sheehan in Mr Big?
Lacking either technical ability or soul, I'm reduced to playing 3-chord punk where my woeful ineptitude is masked by distortion, volume and anger...

My knowledge of music is wedged firmly in the mid-to-late eighties.
I've no idea what's happened since then.
