Ha ha ha nah you don't suck dude. Sometimes life teaches you humility. I don't know who Rusty is, but the thing is, experience is tough to beat. David Gilmour is not a technical genius, but listen to his singing solos. Gilmour, despite not being technically gifted as many guitarists learned to play what sounds good for him. I can run circles around him with rakes and two-hand technique etc. but I would tremble in the knees to battle him at what he does well. I would get my ass kicked. He has taken his own style and tone and turned it into something special. Other guitar players do the same thing. Every guitar player has a niche and something they are good at. Finding that niche and style and perfecting it is what being a guitarist is about.
Though you are a couple of years younger than I, I wouldn't hesitate to ask you in a heartbeat something about guitar. I have developed my own style, but my style is limited (like any other guitarist in the world) and neither me, Rusty, Wolf, Yngwie or any one guitarist on this earth can play everything well.
I struggle with humility on a daily basis, but guitar is a weird monster. People on your technical level or even slightly below often sound better to you because they are playing something different than you do and you are tired of listening to the stuff you play and it doesn't impress you.
I really try not to bring up the age factor, but the truth is, experience is also hard to beat. Guitar players that may not be technically gifted (like the above mentioned Gilmour) know how to play to their strengths and nothing but practice and learning your own strengths is what creates your own style.

So rather then mail order it I bought it there, Therion has to wait for mail order though... they didn't have Secret of the Runes which is the one I've been planning on getting first. I've heard more sound clips I liked from it.
I also got my Savatage Streets review up at my page

Doh !! Doh !! I thought you had ordered "Beyond Daylight." I didn't know you got FoG. It's on about equal ground as BD though. Both are great releases in my ears and are about equal. Well, my PM to you will have a little different perspective now. >
~I am glowing too..... I like it when I am able to recommend something and they like it. My top recommendations are Vanden Plas, Angel Dust and Tad Morose. I seem to get pretty good responses from those three bands. Since you do have FoG as opposed to BD, what do you think about the ballad "I Don't Miss You ? " Many metal bands make power ballads. Vanden Plas decided to make something you would hear on an adult contemporary easy listening station and managed to kick my ass harder than they could with any power ballad.

Its very sweet and sad... The keyboard playing is beautiful, I really dig it.
The kind of song that gets you misty eyed and you have to switch songs before anyone catches and teases you about it. Not that I ever get misty eyed about anything mind...

He doesn't have a whole lot of feeling but technique wise it makes you want to puke.

I listened to about four of his solos from the website. I don't dislike it. He is clean and super fast, but there is no feeling nor much phrasing in his style. I would love to have his talent, but stylistically, he does little for me.

mmm honestly, I don't like this kind of shredding wankery... but his technical abilities are very impressive indeed.

I have no idea who you are talking about...but needed to butt in on this subject...for me there's gotta be "feeling" in the music...I don't care if you are the world's greatest musician..if there is no feeling and just pointless unmoving music it just doesn't cut it for me...I prefer a simpler musical arrangement for that matter.
