Hey Alexandra,

I saw you got a shout out in Guitar Player magazine from Jason Becker for your cover of Perpetual Burn, along side Jeff Loomis. Congrats!

[alexandrazerner]

Really? I didn't know I appeared there... can you send me a link?

[Hellbat]

I don't have a link but he mentioned you in his column in the Oct 2015 issue. It has B.B. King (RIP) on the cover.

So what other stuff are you doing? It's pretty amazing that you're gonna hit 30 instruction vids. Any band stuff around?

And you should be getting more attention here but I think we're a small group of old fucks who would probably be more performance inspired. I really liked your jazz fusion playing... would have liked to have it go on longer... you stopped just before 2m and when all the legends hit that point is when it gets all crazy.

Having watched a few of these, I'm thinking I should take up the triangle instead...

I guess you mean Oct 2014 Anyway, I doubt he's been talking about me, because the so-called "cover" I did, is from March 23rd this year:

I hope I will be able to write interesting licks for a long time... 30 isn't that much, but it's already difficult for me to come out with something really good.
Besides that, I am working on my second album now... the first one can be heard here.
I don't see how I can get much more attention, because I am living in Bulgaria, which is the poorest european country and it's full of morons... and totally no music business here. I am doing everything on my own and I am not gigging, because here it means spending money to play, not earning

Don't. These licks are supposed to inspire people to do more, not giving up

[Hellbat]

No, the Oct. 2015 issue. (it's on newstands in September, I'm not really from the future.)

[alexandrazerner]

Thank you very much for the pic! I... am seriously shocked... I've never even dreamed of Jason Becker mentioning my name along with Jeff Loomis, or some similar scenario... I guess now I can die in peace

Aaand by the way, here's the new tutorial - WeeklyckZ #30, which is a lick from my composition "Memoirs Of A Geisha" (after I sent my album to Jason Becker, he wrote me back, that this is the track, that he likes the most of the album), and the exact lick is at 2:52:
