    A very accurate demonstration of the emotions I go through whenever I try and learn a lead of his.
    He's just the living GOAT right now. Some may outshine him in this area or that here or there, but no one...NO ONE...in this life time is as consistently dropping jaws and delivering the goods as a riff writer AND as a lead guitarist currently working in the biz. He's just that good and he's absolutely earned his status as such.
    Plus, he's a humble and cool guy, too, which is just the icing on the cake.

    Lmao I’m trying to learn the under a glass moon solo and it really makes me appreciate his style. I’m about 90% through, but that hammer-on/pull off tapping part is seriously insane. You need robot like timing to make all those notes ring evenly, and not slur, and have the arpeggios cleanly transition into it, AND it’s a hell of a stretch
