This is a reminder that there are like-minded people like me out there. I strive not to sound like others in terms of tone or playing style. I get put off by people who ask me if I can play like someone else, "Hey, can you play Vai stuff?" Yes, we all started out by emulating our heroes but along the way, we have to disown this phase in life where we can't generate our own music & simply replicate others' ideas. I am a proponent of music, the guitar is my tool. It shouldn't overwhelm me, I should be in control.
