fuck slash, neal schon is my new hero

There are many second-rate guitarists who people like to say that they are "awesome" maybe cause they appear to be mildly good looking, or can play 200 notes in a minute, or they are very flashy, et cetera.

Few can make the guitar sing...

He makes me want to mod a guitar, with a sustainer unit, onboard distortion, onboard delay and OFR whammy. Pure genius, the way he modded his LP - having the sustainer switches at the top/behind the bridge makes it much easier to switch modes in the middle of playing solos, and contoured neck joint really makes it very easy to hit the 22nd fret on a les paul, add the higher octave harmonic ability of the sustainer and he is able to really make the guitar sing.

It's not the most technical of songs, but it's the way he plays it...
