      probably liv That's not love. Everybody "loves" when the attention is on them. That's called selfish love or cathecting. Love is about caring about someone so much, with no self interest involved. Having said that. Girls rock , Boys rock!. And Kirk Really ROCKS!!!

    Nice session with an exceptional artist ! Every day his guitar playing allows me to escape to a better world and make me feel a little euphoric , for which I thank him very much ! He is also very honest, modes, positive and creative. These are features that I appreciate very much among world artists, especially as they are less and less common. Kirk, you are definitely one of the best guitarists in several generations. I wish you a lot of smile and further success ! I Love&Respect You ! :)

      There are so many solos/riffs of Kirks I could mention that help me escape but one that always stands out to me is the solo in "The Unforgiven 3",
      Goosebumps every single time, followed by a feeling of relief, like it's a stress reliever 👍 and of course the solo from the original "Unforgiven" always gets me, one of the best solos ever. and
      still one of the greatest bands👌💯

    As a guitar player, I know maybe two scales, I do a lot with those but I know there are many more scales I can play and learn. It amazes me just how cool the electric 6 string guitar really is. It's not about fame or money, it's about being one with the instrument. You get there, you went somewhere special.

    Some dude heard I was learning guitar and gave me his entire collection of Power Play magazines, 2008 to 2020 every copy over 160 of them. I have spent the last few days immersed in the albums and artwork in there, I don't get to flip thru the sleeve but I am thankful to have UA-cam to just type in a random band and find some thing they've done. I am now on amazon ordering preowned and old Cds to build a collection before it's too late. I've always loved Metallica since my brother played me And Justice For All, first that eerie Blackened intro then Justice the track, going from that acoustic intro into heavy as hell riffing. That Made me pickup a guitar in the first place. I pretty much got hooked on those early albums and I found Pantera too. I was addicted to EVERYTHING Dimebag darrell has done, him, Kirk and James have been my teachers without knowing it. Now I have all these magazines to continue my education. I might subscribe to the mag and continue the collection then someday give it all to an aspiring young guitarist
