Exactly what I think Jim.

BUT, I'd like take a lesson with him, I don't know why, I'm sure he must be a very good teacher.

Zlatan is really INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge fan of Per, a friend of mine too.

And it's alway fun to see a little bit of "Dirty Loop", I have the same feeling than Kurtis, a lil' fix is always fun even if I can't watch a full clip, they are fun and they can play !!!

[if this is the case] That's pretty much the worst thing he could do, from a credibility standpoint. When he was 'with' Yamaha, he was actually playing Gretsch because... they sounded better. That was even close to the official reason why he left Yamaha. "I was always a Gretsch player in the s...
