About me: Screw the long introductions; I'm a Connecticut based lead guitarist with a need for speed. Look out for my solo album and new band appearing very shortly.
Yngwie Malmsteen You are Yngwie Malmsteen! You are an arrogant prick, but may very well be the most technically sound, musically smart guitarist on the planet. You know you're better than everyone else, and you've got the skills to prove it. You're a master composer of music, and such an egomaniac that nothing can change your style; not that that's a bad thing.

Hey Cor, Hows everything going? I'll call you something, do you still use the cell phone? Or just call you still have the number right? We have to update each other.
Check it our bro, I was checking out the V-Pick at Summer NAMM, ended up on a vid a little. The V-pick...The "Screamer" is amazing! It opened up speed playing and killer tones out of the gate. Love the Glow in the Dark Screamer! Be sure to try one when you get the chance, it's Awesome!
