[hendrixkixas]

Well done, Eric. Is their a contest that you haven't won?

[EricMaldonadoMusic]

@hendrixkixas Thanks dude! The only contests I haven't placed on are Milan Polak's contests. I don't think Milan is fond of my playing style very much though hehehe. But without bragging, I have pretty much gotten top place in every contest I enter. I.e. Lincoln Brewster(1st), String Insanity(1st), Glen Drover(2nd), etc etc.

[IntelligentsiaUS]

Is that your sword? :D

Anyway, congratulations. You're an awesome guitar player.
