naa, I mean guys I actually know
my style is totally different admittedly (i.e. lazy) and I've come to terms with not being able to play really fucking fast.

I only use one scale really, except on odd occasions.

I'm talking myself down here...I have a really good ear and can pick stuff up annoyingly fast.

You sound like exactly the sort of guitarist I wanted to be when I was 17
It took me fucking forever to pick things up and that was the measure by which I gauged my own ability. I had fast fingers but no muscle memory so spent a lot of time going over things you'd probably take for granted. Didn't help that I was listening to a lot of Megadeth and Pantera at the time.

my style is a bit too laid back for metal really
probably prog blues-rock is how you'd want to describe it.

I'm happy with that.

haha
I do like rocking out though.

Do you know Clutch? That's the stuff I like to play best really.

I do indeed
Not really my thing, quite like them in short bursts though

some of their albums are a bit hit and miss
the last one was a bit shit unfortunately.

The best thing about b3ta is that it introduced me to Clutch and Bigelf
