Jimi Hendrix was an amazing guitar player.

Still, seems to illustrate Black privilege.

Commonly called the #1 guitarist till this day.

Maybe Hendrix was the best for a decade.

Then came along White Texan Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Then came along Swedish Yvnie Malmsteen.

Polish American Paul Gilbert.

Italian American Petrucci.

Washington DC American Marty Friedman.

Italian American Steve Vai.

Polish American Ron Jarzombek.

Many more.

There are many No 1 guitarists! LOL!

The way most guitarists look at it, once you master the guitar, you are a MASTER and no better than the next one!

And there are way too many masters to even try to count!

fuck you. i understand more than you. only a stupid fuck idiot believes the best way to get the most people behind the goal of making this country have real police reform and prison and justice reform, and way less institutionalized racism of any kind, is TO FUCKING REFUSE TO STAND FOR THE ANTHEM...did martin luther king? get it, bitch? if he had squatted during the anthem, allowed violence or looting at his protests, how much longer would it have taken for the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act to get passed? are you really this fucking stupid? you aren't even in my league, bitch, and you try to tell me what I should do? fuck you.

fuck you, bitch. i have had more black friends than black people you even know. i am totally 100% for complete equality, complete reform of police and justice systems that show bias, not just towards blacks, but the poor in general.

Stupid is as stupid does. In 1865 the Blacks were emancipated while Native Americans were forced onto reservations, and Chinese were excluded from the country. 150 years later and the likes of you are whining because someone took to task your precious "anthem", and put on display your hypocrisy. For all of his peace talk what did MLK accomplish? 1965 the country was forced to pass yet another amendment to the Constitution giving minorities the right to vote. And even now they are still being denied the same rights you would have.

YOUR f**king ignorance, and refusal to face reality, is the problem dumb f**k, and the sooner you get off your knees, and act like a man, the better off you will be.

i have no problem with them taking a knee, but does it have to be during the Anthem? why not before the game as a group or after, so that no one confuses their righteous protest against racism and unequal policing and justice systems with being anti-american in general. in every crowd, there has to be a fairly large number of people whose fathers or sons or brothers died fighting for this country, and they will not see the protest, they will only see the disrespect.

The players have stated quite clearly on a number of occasions why they take a knee, but ignorant racists like Trump continue to lie and claim they do it because "they hate America"

Heck, the reason Kaepernick chose to take a knee in the first place is because he was advised by a FORMER GREEN BERET that taking a knee was an acceptable form of protest.

What's stopping me? Practicality and experience, that's what. The nearest riots to me were about a thousand miles away. Only a psychotic would drive a thousand miles to hit violent idiots with a car. And have you ever been in a riot? I have, it ain't fun. Were any of those riots near you? Did you do ANYTHING to stop them besides vote for biden?

Jimi was a melodic Blues based guitarist not much of a sweep picker! The man who first used sweeping extensively in a rock context was Ritchie Blackmore, who was using the technique to play 4- and 5-string arpeggios in a manner later popularized by players like Yngwie Malmsteen and Tony MacAlpine.

I hear kids using the sweeping technique at the Guitar Centers all the time now. It's something that you practice and through practice you can build up your speed.

Never been. Although I've been golfing once, most of my time near a golf course was spent drunk on the driving range trying to hit the little armored cart shagging balls. Only played a little tennis. Never watched a match but did see a couple of movies.

I always loved listening to George Carlin records and 8-track tapes (later cassette). If George Carlin didn't turn people off of golf, then Trump certainly did:

It’s not att all about making anyone comfortable in their confusion. It’s about standing against police violence in the most obvious way. From my perspective, if anyone sees it as disrespect, I have no issue with who,ever wants to see it as disrespect to a nation that has allowed this murder and abuse of nonwhite Americans for 400 years.

The good news is this issue is now more further advanced toward a sane resolution then it has ever been.

I don't know what to tell ya. How about this: You keep an eagle eye out for "protests" out west(preferably in or near Las Vegas), send me round trip airfare, lodging and enough to rent a car for a week(a heavy SUV would probably work best). I promise nothing, because you'd have to be an idiot or a cop to actually seek out a riot and I am neither.


Hope you're old enough to watch this. It's hilarious but age restricted for some reason.
