I have this philosophy that personality are "acquired" or "influence" by those that inspire us. Earlier post of me dunking was inspired by none other than michael jordan, who was an icon and a role model for me in life and sports. Here this is my main-main guru of all guru Yngwie Malmsteen. To me he is like the God of all shred guitar...God of speed. His skills teaches me 2 thing determination and perfection! I wanted so hard to play as fast as him that if you think a person can't sweat from playing a guitar...well I did. I forced my hand to strum so fast that you could feel heat radiating of my forearm and fingers, and when you cease playing your hand get all numb and stiff from the muscle contraction. For my teacher's day performance I trained myself 3 months in advance and a month of intensive licks before teacher's day, just constantly playing neo-classical licks yngwie style. At the end of the day...all my hard work paid-off I put the crowd in "awe and aw". The day had prove to me that if you if you want the best out of yourself...then you need to challenge yourself and not the ppl around you. Cause like my own motto "My worse enemy is my own", redefine who and what you are, it's a challenge that will uncover the many you(s') you can and will be. Salute to 30yrs of life.
