blah blah blah blah. How do you steal someone's voice?

fivespeed5 it might have something to do with you not having played in the last ten years ;). But no he is a really awesome guitarist. You want to see hard try to play his song "Neon" sometime. Cool tune but damn near impossible to play right (on acoustic)

actually it's not that I haven't played in the last 10 years, it's that I suck! ;) I was really bad when I did play hehe... I'll check out the tab for neon (see can't even read sheet music!)

the good version of neon (acoustic) is on "Inside Wants Out". It sounds easier than it really is. If you look around a bit, you can find a tab written out by John himself. :)
