Hey Tom, come join my band

Ok, I know I do this likely at the cost of losing any remaining readers, but I have to make one more post about guitar stuff. Well, Actually, this post is about Tom Morello. Ever since I did my random contest last post, I have actually researched this guitarist a bit more. Now, as circumstances would have it, he is currently my all-time favorite guitarist. I love this guy's talent and creativity. It would also so happen that he seems like a rather tolerable, friendly, and likable guy. I was watching some videos on youtube of him explaining how he gets some of his sounds and such. Check out the 3rd part of these clips (click on his picture to view it):

Anyways, I would love to play guitar like him and I could stand to have that kind of creativity. (You should watch the first 2 parts of this video to see how creative he gets with making different sorts of hip-hop sounds and styles with his guitar and pedals).
This is the sort of creativity we should be seeing in our churches. Well, some day I guess. You know; keep some tradition but also push forward and be creative as well. Innovation!

So, I played my guitar a bit tonight, and my world was shattered when I discovered that I had not been miraculously infused with all of Tom Morello's talents. I'll try again tomorrow.

Matt, all you need to do is dedicate 8 hours everyday to guitar practice. you'll be as good as Tom in no time.

YES!!!! Right on Matthew. I will see you there. I am so glad you are coming now. I'm excited for this.

Brian, will you starting a guitar school in Lethbridge? If so, I'll think about signing up.

Anh, I'll keep practicing. I'm glad I decided not to get into videogames and chose to waste all my spare time now on guitars instead.
