Is it self-centered of me to want to be recognized as a "guitar god"?

[Baliset]

i mean i feel i am not a self-centered person most of the time. but i mean i have worked my ass off at my lead skills and i feel like one day it might be nice to make some kid's list of "top guitarists" ever or something to that ego-masturabatory effect.

I think true genius requires a degree of "damn, I'm good!" mentality. it can be done without being an ass.

 

[azal]

you diddle far to little in the musical sense.....



more diddling...and maybe one day.

whenever that gif loads, i hear an Egyptian trumpet fanfare in my head. BWAAAA!

stage a tantrum on an international airline. shout loudly (and ensure it is being recorded, "YOU'VE UNLEASHED THE FOOKING FUREEEEEEEEE!"

 

[Baliset]

for some reason i hear the voices of Egyptian uprising form Nile's album shouting "Black Seeds of Vengeance!" so apparently maybe i am a bad god after all.

[Baliset]

also part of me is really wanting to hear the goatschoolio perspective on my intial question.

Not to be a total fanboy, but you are mos def, my favorite guitarist eva.

And no I dont think there is anything wrong with wanting to be a guitar god... especially when you have your own style and dont just yank other peoples stuff.

 

[xfer]

no, greg's pretty good about always yanking his own stuff.

 

[ChromeLife]

I knew that was commin.

 

[Static]

Yes, I think it requires a certain degree of diddling, perhaps some more doodling, and some more dangling, and you got it.

The Powerslave mockup and the banner ad are priceless...guitar god status does require a certain degree of ego and pretension, along with the requisite alternate tunings and use of time signatures that frighten the average musician.
