I don't know. It's simple to me, if it fits, then it's okay. If you hear something that makes you want to vomit then it's not :smile-new::smile-new::smile-new:

Christian is incapable of withholding snark. If it makes you feel better, I was a jazz guitar student thrust into a classical major because of budget cuts and basically only did it because the...

What beats an L5?

My parents said college would ruin me. I'll never be respected in academia or the music business no matter how much experience I have. They had strong feelings about it.
