In the middle of my lesson with Steve yesterday....

As if I didn't already know how to sweep properly.. :p

He's showed me some really cool sweeping and scalar patterns, soloing techniques and ideas, and we've analyzed some real cool tunes, Nevermore, Soilwork, Arch Enemy, Ozric Tentacles. Lots of great stuff.
 
Brooks, I can remember you posting a link for you bands website on here. What is it again, I cant remember.

Any luck finding a drummer?
 
Ugh, that band had so much potential, but the main songwriter unfortunately had to sell all his gear to pay the rent. Such is life in the ludicrously expensive Bay Area.

The site is

This would have kicked so much fucking ass if we could get our shit together (and found a drummer capable of playing the parts!!). Maybe sometime soon we'll try this again....
