I've been playing for about 31 years and I never learned music theory or took a lesson. They are incredible musicians, at an amazing level. Satriani and Eddie Van Halen are guitar geniuses. When I see that, I go «Holy shit, that's really something». On the other hand, I appreciate really great guitarists, and I'm very impressed by those metal groups with their scale guitarists. I think about it on another level, I don't care about that sort of shit. I know that most of the notes I play aren't where I play them. The technical aspect is absolute hogwash as far as I'm concerned. When you are able to express yourself and feel good, then you know why you're playing. It's whether you have feelings that you want to express with music, that's what counts, really.

Nobody gives a shit if you have good technique or not. NEIL : "It would give you a rather sad view of your future, wouldn't it? First off, nobody cares if you know how to play scales. Q : "What do you think about those who go to school to learn how to play guitar?" I stumbled upon an interview between Neil and Guitare & Claviers Magazine (1992) Neil stated his opinion on "learning" the guitar, what do you guys think about this subject? I was doing some research on Neil and the types of guitars/tones he uses.
