Thanks guys . Well you can see me jerkin' off, whenver she walks in on me with her tablet. Thats all these vids are. She wants me to post my riffs / songs. No way ! I learned my lesson long ago. It's IMPOSSIBLE to be original. But I do my best. I stay in my bubble and out of the box. I just play random solos/techniques to keep sharp. I have more riffs than Iommi, but I'll share them whenever I record them.
My good friend Tall Paul/Drak Arena /Antithesis said I sound like Buckethead. I don't have any of his stuff. I always thought he was Gilbert in disguise. I look him up on YT, to my surpise we have very similair styles.
I have other were I'm doing fast bluesy stuff like Zakk, Sykes or Frank Marino. But that stuff is done to death. Everyone thinks box shapes are boring. But our generation is all blues based. These kids are weened on players like Jeff Loomis, Conquering Dystopia, Tosin, CHON, Periphery, Polyphia, The Faceless, Born of Osiris. ..definitely NOT blues based. I KNOW Jeff Loomis inspired all these guys because he toured with them for years before he went to Arch Enemy.
Any guitarist that watches Jeff play up close and personal will NOT be the same. Much like seeing the GREATS on the 80's Shrapnel Stable. Jeff walked away from ALOT of major offers to do his own thing. Much like Uli did with the Scorpions in the 70's. Uli dummied down to play rock songs owned by labels. They rather be broke and play from the heart than to be owned by the music buisness and famous people. We should respect that. I certainly do.
