I've been on IG goin on 5 years now. In retrospect... heres why...
Joel. The ultimate motivator. I got ahold of him via email to discuss the scene around Milwaukee (my old stompin grounds). I later got to listen to his work and was fucking astounded by his tallent. Before my injury, I thought I was a pretty bad ass guitar player. Thought is the key word. Sure I was fast but I wasnt accurate. When I was diagnosed with ulnar nerve damage, it sucked the wind out of me and I gave up for 5 years.
Joel got me wanting to play again. Im forever thankful. Im still not as good as I once was due to the fact Ive been lazy and not doing speed drills..... I fucking hate chromatic bs and refuse to do em. Im aeolean and phrygian most times. 1/2 step shit bores me. I cant play a pentatonic fast to save my ass cuz Ive played 3 finger shit so long..... im workin on it though.
Keep in mind: Ive never had a lesson from Joel, just subtle conversational hints got me totaly fired up.
More reason to buy his book. I was not asked to or paid to say this.
Thanks Joel. (Im still workin on the beast too)
Mike Philopov.....omg hes amazing. I havnt met him yet. Love to. Same category as Joel.
