Very,Very good dude.You obviously suffer from the same affliction as me though.PLay it more the way you feel it instead of how you think people want to hear it.Your natural talent will shine more.

@ThePigonSkates A gifted person is someone with natural ability but is not necessarily a savant or a retard. In sports, there are a few. Micheal Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are naturally gifted in basketball. Wayne Gretzky is a natural phenomenom in hockey. Some say being a genius is something like bordering a mental retardation but who knows? Vincent Van Gogh is considered a genius when it came to his art impressions but he had frequent bouts of mental illness through out his life.

@ThePigonSkates Savant syndrome is a rare condition in which people with developmental disorders have one or more areas of expertise, ability, or brilliance that are in contrast with the individual's overall limitations. According to some studies, about half of all people with savant syndrome have autistic disorder, while the other half have another developmental disability, mental retardation, brain injury or disease.

@MrHardrod2 Oh I agree 100% that EVh has talent beyond anyone i've heard, To me he is the best ever. Period. To me a "Gifted" person is a type of savant who can play Bach at age 3. Guess we have a difference of opinion on gifted is all. It's great the the guitar heros don't sound the same, be pretty boring not having a chance to argue about tone, and who's best.......

@ThePigonSkates One thing I can say is Eddie's style is unique. He calls it the "Brown" sound with an emphasis on the tone (sustain, gain, volume-loud, compression, crunch, delay, etc.). Look at some other players and try to see if they even come close to Eddie. (Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Andy Summers, Dave "the Edge" Evans of U2, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, etc). I am comparing Eddie with people who have years upon years of playing. So I am convinced it is a "god given" gift.

@ThePigonSkates Although I admit you are partially right but there are guys out there that practice everyday 5 to 6 hours a day trying to develop a style of playing. You might only be seeing some people get that skill but I know for a fact that I have spoken to people who have played for years (15 years or more) and have not even come close to the way Eddie plays. Some people I know even know how to read music and went to music school but they just don't come close to Eddie's skill.

@XxWoWlegacyxX yeah, cheap worn out frets.This guitar is now unplayable because of it.One fret was so worn out , that it had a groove in it to the point where the string would get stuck in it and it was uneven with the other fret.
