Hey, I love rock music (in all it's forms) as well, or more than the next person, and I still play my fair share of it.

However, in all genres of music, including Rock (maybe especially Rock), technique without musicality lacks soul. This demo has a fine guitar sound but, in my opinion, the solo has too much technique, and not enough musicality.

I admire and acknowledge great technique, but I somehow expect it to be in the service of a musical vision.

The great soloists(guitar and otherwise) are simply great musical story tellers....they keep it interesting, and that's what sets their music apart from those who haven't learned that aspect of the craft yet.

AND...Let's try to have differences of opinion without resorting to direct and/or indirect insults.

Play nice, please. There's no need of being rude and mean just because you don't understand, or agree with, another person's equally valid opinion.
