LAEL THE ABSOLUTE MONARCH where did you hear this from?

He's probably the only guitarist in a guitar store that wouldn't be scowled at for playing that riff.

Ichika, you're going to explode into the world's awareness. From the first few passages, I knew I was hearing the very soul of a special musician. You never once took the song away from its inherent depth & natural appeal, nor did you ever make it into a caricature of itself. Your improvisations seem like a natural extension of all the nuance to be found in the song. I could feel the tense excitement & the thrill of experiencing just about everything this song might ever offer. You nailed it, knocked it out of the park, & elevated it to a level never before witnessed. I'm seriously impressed. But more than that, I'm grateful that you've dared to lay bare your heart & soul, to allow us to feel privileged to have had the honor to simply listen. Musicianship frankly doesn't come any better. Thank you.
