Arpeggios From Hell

Ha!  Caught your attention didn't I?!?  :) 
So Yngwie Malmsteen is a great (and that's an understatement) guitar player.  Too bad he knows it.  :)  Hailing from Sweden, Yngwie probably entered this world with a guitar in his hand.  To get as good as he is he would have had to start playing from birth.  Unless he's a prodigy...there's always that option! 
Yngwie has been, in the past, labeled the world's fastest guitar picker.  He really IS amazing.  Looking at him playing guitar you almost think there's no way he's actually playing because his fingers become with the neck and the frets and he looks like he's gliding his hand up and down the notes.  But he is, in fact, moving his fingers and hitting every note perfectly.  Yngwie has never been the radio hit type but Lanny tells me he did have one radio hit back in the 90's.  But I loved the title of this piece so I choose it!  Plus this piece is only about 2 and a half minutes whereas I'm sure the radio hit is longer.  And really for most of us 2.5 minutes is just about enough!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
