Ask a guitarist ...
|
 
How do you remember where to put all those different fingers in different places at the same time?? ?
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken. 
Do you like to dabble in the black arts of non-standard tuning?

Another one is something I figured for myself a long time ago -- raise G to G#. When I'm playing slide, that gives me a dom7 on the four highest strings. Otherwise, I play everything in standard tuning, including slide.  
Why do so many of your brethren seem to feel that being in tune is optional?

1) Top three guitar riffs (is that the word?) in a rock tune? (Top ten if you find that too confining. Make it between 1970 and 2000 if it isn't confining enough.)
2) Which is better, Joe Satriani's slow stuff or Surfing With The Alien? https://youtu.be/tznoCmVkmXc Possible slow alternative: https://youtu.be/b1DzRb4DHGw 3) Does it get any better than Johnny Winter doing Bob Dylan's Hiway 61? https://youtu.be/yclRjptWlW8?list=RDyclRjptWlW8 But not this version, yuck. The one he did for that big Dylan concert .. that one.

Impressive. I wonder if he can switch between playing this and something 'normal'.
