ive never really thought about it until i was at guitar center the other day, just messing around with some of the new gear. this guy next to me ask me where i learned to sweep like that, and i told him 'mostly from the mini-lessons at here at IG'
then i was trying to mention how joel is one of my big influences, but it kinda hit me that i didnt know how his last name was pronounced. i had never said it out loud before so it was never really an issue, but the last thing i want to do is look like a tool, trying incorrectly pronounce his name in front of someone else who knows him

lol guys... get my book *cough*, listen to the intro to the audio section. I say if for you so you don't have to. It is pronounced as written: Wah nah sek not SAK it is SEK. Its not: wanna sack (already got one) or wants some sex (already get that, I am married lol), etc... I've heard em all. lol. I had to beat a few ppl up in middle school because of this. p.s. Chris, I'm happy to hear that I've had some sort of influence on you. I am honored to be an influence of anyone. It is the reason I do all this stuff, to share my passion of guitar with other people. You made my day. I do appreciate it! Thanks bro!

You made my day. I do appreciate it! Thanks bro! I can back him up on this without any doubt. In my 5 or 6 years on IG (both old and new boards), never once have I seen nor heard of Mr. Wanasek ask 1 penny from any member. The site is paid for from his pocket and always has been.

Its not: wanna sack (already got one) or wants some sex (already get that, I am married lol), Hahaha ;D Anyway I perhaps haven't been here as long as most of other people, but this is a very nice forum (although it could use more frequent members ), and I have learned a huge lot by talking to you guys here. You people rule.

I don't really have anything to add to this thread of gushing praise for Joel, besides that it's all basically correct. I've been here for years as I've been learning to shred. Sort of. And then as I hated shred. And loved it again. And woke up on Wednesday, January 14th way too fucking early to be coherent and/or on the internet.

Now you guys are getting all soft on me maybe we should talk about guns or something. lol What else can I say other than I love this site & this board. I've learned a lot stuff from you all over the years. I wish I had the time to do the things I want to here. But it is all coming one step at a time. IG will keep improving, especially if I am sitting around on a tour bus all day doing nothing. A major problem I have is I work like 10 hrs a day 7 days a week in the studio. Band playing in a pro band, being married, and many other things I do..... it is overwhelming. Good news is I''ve been working w/ a web genius guy lately and he is going to be helping me streamline updates and a bunch of useful things. Got some exciting stuff coming!

Aside from the spam bs, there hasnt been any real probs here.
Any help is welcome. The board as far as I know is running smooth.
As far as websites n whatnot for the band/studio......ya may need help there to get more hits. Just dont add so much shit to it that it requires a 15 meg connection to view...(holy fuck I hate that).
Im not bitchin...I dont miss being a mod hahahaha
