    who is the best sweep picker?

    *Rusty Cooley* For sweeps, check out the "JemFest Video 1" at this link: http://www.rustycooley.com/video.html This guy is the fastest player I've ever seen. Maybe even ahead of Becker or Ballas. The Under the Influence vid is cool too. Harro.

    Just on Smoke & Mirrors, anyone here who can play the intro cleanly (ie. the arpeggios)? Just wondering if you do it as tabbed out in most of the tabs on the net. Basically I'd like to know if it's possible to play cleanly. Been working on it a while now. So, who can play it? :kickass...

    Your First Gig

    My first gig was probably 13 years ago at high school. Of course you're nervous before you go on but it dies pretty quickly once you start playing. How quickly it dies away probably depends on your experience. The first gig was in a class room so I don't know whether that really counts. The...

    What's the best rhythmic section Symphony X have ever had?

    I got into SymX just before V came out. But V is my favourite album for cool rhythm section work. Listen to "Death of Balance" - awesome! All their stuff's awesome though. :) Harro.
