Well, to be honest, i had a year or so where i was really unhappy, and didnt know if i could ever play as well as any of my heroes (regular players). the honest and obvious answer was and is NO. there are some pulloff-hammer on things, i just simply cannot play on the high e-string, since i have to reach over the whole fretboard, cant stretch my fingers further than 5 semitones from the 12th fret, and kirk does a lot of that. but then i thought further and realized, that i dont wann copy (at least not all the time
), and that i can actually do some stuff easier than other players. think about unison bends, and the blues bends with their varations...
