Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
As a guitarist (a hack compared to many) I love so many players but for me the overall honours right now goes hands down to fusion guitarist Guthrie Govan. Not only does his technique push the physical boundaries (well past Vai...who I have much r... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
I wish I could have seen the likes of S.R.V. and Hendrix and I want to start by saying that there are many other bands I've seen that I feel deserve to make the list but I'll have save them for my Fav 10. 1. Hands down Eric Johnson Live... funny t... 
Reading Vs Listening to Learn Piano
I'm pretty sure Stevie Wonder can read music (braille) and even B.B. King has a music degree, something he does not like to advertise. Sight reading/playing and being able to read are two very different things (and sight reading itself is a subjec... 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
800 GB! Thats impressive, there's also the new animation chip Sony and others are working on ( computer animations so lifelike it will be impossible to distinguish with the naked eye)... maybe Brad Pitt might have to start looking for a new line o...

What genre of music do you like? There are also a lot of other things you can do to accelerate the learning process. Finding a good teacher (easier said than done) and learning how to practice are your best bet. Try to seperate the elements. One o... 
LINN IKEMI USERS... Recommendation Plz
When researching the purchase of my Ikemi the vibration managment seemed to be the biggest issue, apparently the shell is woefully under-engineered. The Neuance platform is an excellent cost effective solution. 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
The blue laser has a shorter wave than the red allowing for a far more precise reading, but as promising as it is blu-ray is not over the line yet...just because it's superior to the HD-DVD it also requires complete factory re-tooling whereas the ... 
Jazz Guitar
As Zaikesman was saying, instruments have limitations/strenghts and weaknesses. A violin can sustain a single note with a hint of vibrato that can make you weep, a piano is just not capable of doing this, with the piano it's a case of play a note ... 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
Having known a number of people to suffer this before myself I believed that the only thing that could be done was distraction therapy. I am still skeptical about the herbal drops but this girl was adament that her farthers case was quite severe a...
