chills

That usually means a good thing, so thank you!

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I could still play like that, but after breaking both of my hands clean off of both of my arms with the bone al broken and poking out of the skin. I have my wrists held together with titanium plates and screws. This happened in 2013 so osteoarthritis has set in and my fretting wrist bends on an angle and I have to put my arm in an awkward position to play properly. I wish I could play like this again.

I bought a new guitar in the summer. It's the first guitar I picked up that I could actually play with little pain. I couldn't play guitar for years because of the excruciating pain that playing guitar would give me. I haven't played guitar in a very long time so I have to relearn some things and adjust the way I position my body and how I hold my pick with a picking thumb that cannot bend at the knuckle. I snapped the tendon of my thumb lighting a lighter.

It's really awkward holding a pick with my thumb like this. It makes things challenging I'll say that. I can't grip the pick in a way that allows me to play fast notes on a single string. I keep hooking the pick on a string when I play fast multiple note per string passages. I can still however do the 7 note arpeggio at the end of the song. I can still sweep pick awesome it's just the fast picking that's holding me back

Perhaps you could play a guitar on your lap like that one blind guy does, he does beautifully on the guitar and perhaps a special guitar that would allow you to play it without pain or just another way instead of the traditional way.

I have a custom made Paul Gilbert signature series guitar that's a 3/4 size model. It makes it possible for me to play well with minimal pain. I just need to practice to get back into my old skills.

Take all the time you need if you feel like sharing anything with us all.

Thank you for sharing this with us! Great message in your video. Keep up the great work!
Very nice tardis as well. And beautiful box with the edges designed

Nice stick spinning skills. I'm sure if I tried messing around like that I'd get a nice face full of wood and knocked on my ass lol! Never give up your will to conform Tazz. Be unapologetically you and don't worry about the naysayers and trolls. You'll get attacked by them no matter what you do, take a look at what I have to deal with on here by a certain individual. I don't let it get to me or bring me down. I know what I bring to the world and offer in service to others. That's all that matters.

NEVER GIVE UP>>>>>>
Always strive for your authenticity and expression of who you really are. Of course they will attack you cuz they are jealous, they can't create anything, that is why we are so unique.
We create, we are authentic, and it's better to express it and surround yourself with like minded people who appreciate it for the art it is.
This world would be unbearable if we couldn't create and make art or express ourselves.
Doing as you are told is for zombies.
I know you're not a zombie....so just do what you have a passion for, and anyone who attacks you for being your authentic self you just exclude from your presence.
Why do they attack you? Cuz they have no ability to create....simple.
Do what you want as long as it don't harm anyone, someone out there will and does appreciate it.
