Probably my favorite song of all time. What Edward came up with here, is just mind-blowing - still to this day. Rock on Bro.

Being a musician, and doing it professionally we notice the talent in other players and notice the not so talented and critique. I've had the privilege of traveling all over this wonderful world all while playing music, so I seen many of the best players in person. I'm now including you on my personal favorite guitarists. Not just because you're talented with your playing, it's that you have technique correct to the way it's composed. Yeah could shred and change things on the fly, lots can. But doing covers accurate and tasteful, that's why I would put you on the list

I often wonder if guys that play like you so effortlessly, went through the same obstacles that the rest of went through, like getting your fingers trained to for a G-chord or D-Chord, or did your finger just automatically feel comfortable in those positions. I remember when I first started playing, dang near forcing my fingers to form a D-Chord, and G-Chord, then moving from those 2 positions back and forth for what seemed like hours before It felt comfortable. F-Chord still doesn’t feel as comfortable as it should. Anyway, great playing.
