Back in the late 1970's, a neighbor gave me a TEAC reel to Reel . I was able to slow down Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Alvin Lee, Michael Schenker , Alex Lifeson, EVH , later Randy Rhoads, SRV, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch or Joe Satriani .
I play with my buddies and we do lots of covers from those guys and I do them verbatim.... regardless if it's Dimebag Darrell or Neil Young .
Yeah, some people may think that I am " Show Boating" .... screw them, I playing the music they way it's writen and recorded, out of respect of the original artist and the audience that pays to get away from life for a little while .
And to put down other guitarists that aren't as technical, isn't cool either .
