Hey Marty, great to send a message across to you! 1) Please dont take offence by this question. I have read through a lot of your answers and just started to wonder something... If your advice is to just pick up the guitar and play, dont think too much about what youre doing, just play and naturally improve....what would I get out of purchasing any of your DVD's? Surely everything in there is something that I would naturally discover eventually after playing guitar for long enough? 2) Is there any advantage to playing with your fingers relaxed? Is this something you consciously try to achieve? Your Megadeth solo's >>>

1) you could play for a lifetime and find great things but still not discover what is in those DVDs 2) yes and yes because playing is less about fingers and more about mind and heart. If your fingers are tense, they are not good "vessels" for the signals your mind and heart send. Good luck-
