That would be why this person is a master. There are not zillions
of masters. Just a handful. Boy you are good!!!!!

It that what you really think? Quite hilarious. No one ever said they
were the next hendrix in this thread as far as I know. You keep that
is what people are thinking though apparently.

How about because it (NG's) wasn't available when he played. Very
egotistical of you to think you know everything he would have done
or not done. Whoa...

Really. He didn't master music?!?! OK this is another reason to not
reply. You are talking silly gibberish.

Really it does? You must be quite the teacher.

He would have fallen flat on his face? Have you seen this happen?
Or are you doing the hypothetical thing? If you are, then shut up
already as you would have no idea what he would have done. I
mean come on he is dead.

Really *SHOULD BE TAUGHT*... Huh, who says? You? Who
the hell are you anyway? You seem like an overly egotistical person
set in his ways an not willing to bend even slightly. You must be a
very good teacher.

Obviously don't bother replying because you are saying the same
things over and over again. Yada yada yada... I read it the first time
and figured you to be a nut-job.

You have no idea what my knowledge or experience is. Same as I
have no idea what yours is. Very egotistical of you to assume that
you know all that is guitar with regards to me. Get over yourself
already.
