How many here can rip?

[rmp]

yea, I suppose I can say I can, and I can post sound cloud links to back it up..

When I was a much younger me, speed was a "thing" that we all strived for (meaning a lot of the local guys who were also pretty good players). not so much so any more. It's gotta "fit" the song, or part that the leads are being played over. I like working through the changes..

Hey Rob, I spent a few years in a gigging metal band back in the mid 2000s as the lead guitarist. We started playing covers (Iron Maiden, Metallica) while we built up our originals. Great time. I can rip up a solo but I'm no Eddie Van Halen.

I switched to 98% acoustic for about 5-7 years and just in the past couple of years switched back to electric, although I'm not playing much more than 15 minutes a night now. Love my Gibsons into my Marshall or Traynor.
