Was practicing the Pink Floyd Money solo at lunch. A coworker peeked in and told me not to quit my day job.

You should have handed them the guitar and asked them to show you how it's done.

Exactly. People who don't play guitar have no idea how difficult it really is. Professional musicians make it look so easy, they figure it can't be that difficult.

I'll practice it up and record this weekend. It's only about 45 sec starting 3 minutes into the song. After I got my GT-8 I thought it sounded great until I started trying to dial in Gilmour's tone in Money and couldn't get what I wanted. But I went online and found some patch presets today. So I'm going to try putting it in tonight and see how it sounds. Them bends are tough even with nines installed.

I remembered annoying everyone in the lunch room with my electric. That's basically what I got suspended for. DIdn't know that playing music was a crime...

This really touches on something. People don't realize how deep music runs in a musician. A comment like that cuts deep. But, on our side, we need to develop a thick skin I guess. You keep at it man, your doin' it and that's what counts!

Buy the company.............sack him/her.
Alternatively, buy the company............and make him/her sit in front of you while you practice, every lunch break!
