sounds like we've both done tons of ed homework over the years..knew about the guitar..also used an ibanez destroyer. anyway, same here..can learn songs much faster than back int he day..i think it's a good trade-off for any finger-speed losses..i'm not interested in shredding anyway. trying to incorporate ed licks into whatever unique voice of my own and approach to play and soloing that i'm currently doing. i've begun slacking off practice past couple months..i try to run thru panama, i'm the one, eruption, u really got me, full bug at least every other day..not working on anything new at the moment. i was goofing around with the song 5150 a couple months back, but faking the rhythm part down at the nut rather than neck, also a little of black and blue. no doubt we'd have a blast jamming were we in the same town, rick.
