I was really surprised when I checked out your band's website videos that you're not playing guitar. You're a good singer, it just wasn't what I was expecting. Is it hard to not be playing? The guitar player you have is obviously doing well enough, I'm just not sure if I'd be able to do that in your position.

Actually, it's more or less a conscious decision on my part. The world is full of really good guitarists, and it'w easy to leave Your stuff in someone elses hands. But to be a frontman, a real live 100% running around shouter frontman - that, my friend, is larger than life. And I couldn't do that chained to a guitar in front of a mic stand :)

[SinsBlessing]

Excellent technique - as always. I honestly believe you are YouTube's best guitarist.

Have you got any tips on where to begin? I've been playing for almost two years and thought it's time for my first solo. I can play the intro of Wolf and Raven at 90% speed( By Sonata Arctica, you know.)

What was the first solo you practised?

[GryphonGuitar]

Hi! THanks for Your amazing words, I really can't being to tell You how incredibly wrong You are ;) But thanks so much. The first solos I practised were simple solos, like Ace Frehley and Tony Iommi... then I moved up to Helloween solos, and finally to Yngwie solos, with a lot of emphasis on metronome practice, and then just comfortably, and SLOWLY building speed. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will Your shredding skill. Wolf and Raven is hard! 90% is something to be proud of.
