Lol- yeah that would me amazing- us jamming with Mustaine!

It'll take me about 50 years to get that good-

But I'm doing fine thanks. Pretty much got the Enter Sandman solo done- It's nothing compared to Holy Wars or Hanger 18, but it's a start at least!

Rust in Peace is such a classy album. How's it going with yourself?

Does anyone read? Maybe I overcomplicate things but that solo has parts and it seems tough as hell. I'd option the Nothing Else Matters solo becuase I'd assume its slower, and may be pciked up quicker.

Yeah, it's going pretty good here, judas!!!I was just thinking that it would be fun to jam with mustaine one of these days...I still consider him one of the top leaders of the pack when it comes to metal!!!Whether I was drumming along with him in Megadeth or if we begun our own band, I think it would be quite fun and very intense, ya know?

By the way, I was looking around at some of my Megadeth album booklets and I came across "Countdown To Extinction."It reminded me of your avatar, so I decided to compare them.

Incase you didn't already know, you actually do have the "Countdown To Extinction" pic of Dave as your avatar!!!In closing, yes that album and "Rust In Piece" are both greats, cheers!!!

Also-Keep on playing because I'd still love to jam 50 years from now, ya hear?

.Yeah, Mustaine is a Metal god!
It would certainly be great fun and very intense to be in a band with him - I have more chance of being struck by lightning though. lol
Yeah, I have that picture of him in my Countdown To Extinction booklet too, and it is a cool album.
I will keep playing! I'm pretty much addicted now and ,yes, it would be great to jam 50 years from now!

Yeah, just study as much and learn as fast as you can and I'd love to jam those or any other Megadeth songs with you some day, peace!!!

Wild7Dustr

In the last few days, I was thinking about another song that I used to play alot that was incredibly easy for me!!!It's another one of Metallica's songs-"For Whom The Bell Tolls."Give it a shot, man...it's very easy to play!!!

judas_priest

Cool- thanks I'll keep that in mind! I'm trying to get a band together at the moment to jam with and stuff. Only short of drummer.
You've said before that you've been jamming for 15 years- that's so cool. How young were you when you started? I wish I'd started playing earlier.

Damn, I haven't been in this forum as much lately because I've checked out/posted in some others too!!!I just noticed that you posted now.

Just so ya know, I'd help out and jam with ya here and there if you were nearby, but seeing that you're not only a state away, but ,even more, a country, that would definitely be a long shot, ya know?

As for the talk about my "devotion" to music, I probally already said this, but I'll say again that I've been playing on and off for many years!!! In other words, I haven't been playing both guitar and drums for that time period, I've went back and forth!!!

As for when I started, well, I'd just have to say that it really began right after Nirvana first came out!!!Nirvana was that big influence that got me more into playing than ever, therefore making me much more serious and devoted to not only listening to, but also playing great music!!!

And for anyone else out there, starting early doesn't necessarily mean starting at a young age!!!It is more about starting right now, now that you're more interested/serious about it than ever, instead of waiting/putting it off, ya see?

Whether you're 8 years old or 80 years old, start now or suffer the consequences of dying as a terrible musician that could've possibly been known forever as a legend!!!

For example, take a look at these guys:

1.Kurt Cobain.
2.Cliff Burton.
3.Randy Rhoads.
4.Eric Carr.
5.Stevie Ray Vaughan.
6.Dimebag Darrell.
7.Layne Staley.
8.Steve Clark.
9.John Lennon.
10.Bon Scott.

They all died as legends, not just regular people!!!So, keep on practicing if you ever want your music to "live on", ya hear?

Nice talkin' again, judas!!!See ya later!!!
