<div class="bbWrapper">Lunch yesterday was a prime rib sandwich (or as I like to refer to it...a colon clogger) and a coke. And 2 chocolate chip cookies (or as I like to think of em...vegetables).<br />
<br />
I got my first electric guitar in 1976. a beautiful sunburst strat which I still own. In 1979 I got lucky and started lessons with the coolest rock guitar teacher in town. His name was Randy Rhoads and he played in a band called quiet riot and taught guitar tuesday thru saturday. Sweetest guy ever.<br />
<br />
After he died in 1982, I was unbelievably sad and gave up guitar for like the next 8 years. When I picked it back up I had forgotten pretty much all the songs I ever knew.<br />
<br />
A couple years ago, I put together a band with some talented guys, started concentrating on strictly composing instrumental songs and watched my style really develop.<br />
<br />
Best advice Randy ever gave was not to play at one speed. Better to mix it up with interesting phrasing.<br />
