Every One PLEASE!!!

We gotta get some one in the film documentary business to do a 2+ hour piece on this genius of the modern electric guitar. Shawn Lane beyond any doubt was THE musical genius of our time. All of his recorded data on musical theory, interpretation of sound and melody, and technical ability must be gathered, cataloged, preserved, taught at all levels of musical education, and presented on film for the masses. DON'T LET HIM FADE INTO HISTORY!!! MAKE THE FILM! WRITE THE BIO!

He had the "Nintendo button pushing" technique infused in his picking.

@HMG5588 lol of course its about me again. I'm glad you like me so much, though. But Please, learn to focus. Now you know you're giving me a total hard on, but just don't write back saying "well I may be da master debator, but your a jerk off". That would just be rude.

[HMG5588]

@93thrasher Oh!!! You have talent??? You should of said so early on!!! Well then. Let's hear you play guitar. Post a video. Let's see and hear what you can play.

[93thrasher]

@93thrasher Then, you admitted that for all you pretended to know about music and what makes a good musician, you are in fact a hobbyist (which kinda makes you the poser, dont you think?) And for all the endless explanation to me of your own character flaws, substituting the word "you" (as in me) in place of "I" and "Me" (you), you never actually answered what made the dude a genius, which was asked in all honesty. So in the vernacular of the young and the hip, "You go, boiii!"

[93thrasher]

@HMG5588 By the way, I love your debate skills. First you said shawn lane was gifted and his knowledge of theory was incredible, and that he should be studied at the highest levels of musical education. and that I was a poser because I suck at music (cus, you know, most people who spend all their time on something do it cus they suck at it). Then you said studying music is stupid and pointless and implied there's no such thing as being gifted (which I agree with).

[93thrasher]

@HMG5588 What?! are you running out of steam??? Ok! well I'm glad now we've settled it! Hobbyists know everything about music and people like myself who spend all day every day on it know nothing because they have no "talent" (whatever that is). I've been enlightened.

[HMG5588]

@93thrasher No buddy. Playing guitar is my hobby. You, on the other hand, have your whole life to worry about. Here you are going to "music school" trying to learn how to put two notes together so that you can make a living at it. But let me give you some advice your father should have given you, learn a practical skill in parallel. Now don't get me wrong. You might be the next virtuoso. I hope so. Or might be the next flop in a world filled with forgetful flops. Good luck!

[93thrasher]

@HMG5588 what you are is bitter. But so enthusiastic! Hey did you know you don't compose notes!?

[HMG5588]

@93thrasher Jackass. I'm trying to help you. Change your major. Study something that will be useful to you like cooking or gardening. Because you are certainly without the talent that it takes to become a successful musician. I don't even need to hear you play a note or compose a note. You're a "wannabe". No doubt your parents failed in raising you right to recognize your own bullshit. So I'm here to tell you. Put your guitar away and play the kazoo.

[93thrasher]

@HMG5588 By the way, please hurry up and reply. I'm excited to see what other insecurities and reasons for disliking yourself you plan to share on the internet.

[93thrasher]

@HMG5588 Wow you describe it in such detail, and you dont know me.. Are you back to describing yourself again?
