    Yeah, I just had crawl back to my desk.

    The act of being blown away placed me on the other side of the room.

    Absolutely amazing.

    [Surprisingly] I do enjoy Amazing Grace in instrumentals. I do not know more than a couple of the lyrics though.

    The last time my cousin had played it was at my aunts funeral, I almost broke down while he was playing while I was recording..... he starts playing Amazing Grace at 1:55..... I wish people would have been a little more quiet for the acoustic pieces. Meh.

    There is always hope, however you should not mistake it for some sort of adherence to one particular religion.

    I want to learn Amazing Grace on the piano..... I am so terrible at finger picking, I am not sure about the guitar just yet.

    thats OK, I was just like you about "jesus freaks".


    I don't know how I taught myself finger picking, I play delta blues, and it requires it, but I don't really remember setting out to learn it.

    I can do some, I remember two years ago I was going to play guitar for an intermission for a play.

    I reach into my pockets, realize my guitar picks were in the car.

    I finger picked through it alright (My Immortal by Evanescence, A and C#m), I was surprised it wasn't a complete train wreck. However, that is picking one note at a time.... it is the picking multiple notes at a time that throws me off quick. A Perfect Circle's 3 Libras would be a good example. Simple musically, but I have such difficulties with it.

    it may just be a mental block. I had trouble with sweep picking, before i threw in the towel on it. I was totally good with music theory, but speed hampered me. I use to love to play jazz, and paginni, but that was many years ago. I'm just acoustic blues now. its more fun for me now.

    Yes. . .I guess English being my SECOND language does show when I use FRENCH words in English.

    Thanks for the "constructive criticism!" (I think!. . )

    I guess this sweet child has not softened your mood for today?

    SMILE! I'm sure most people here can understand what I say even with the MAJOR mistake between Superb and Superbe!

    Sweep picking..... that is tied in with shredding?

    Yeah, thats a bit above my skill level.

    The hardest song I know is Tool's Vicarious..... I used to be a little better but I took a very ill reasoned six month break that seriously (*)(*)(*)(*)ed me over.

    I wouldn't have believed that was her real voice if I hadn't seen her on other programs. Jackie Evancho is truly amazing.

    it amazes me that tool, is still going. I remember them from years ago. I sounded more like slash (GnR), but I probably couldn't play like that now, if my life depended on it. Priorities change.

    Lucky you! I saw them live a couple of years ago and I trust that they're still as mind-blowingly good as they used to be back then.

    And this song for Maynards dead mother will never fail to give me goosepimps:
