Hmmm.. seems true to me... we shall see.
I wouldn't put too much stock in that one. The older I get the more I feel like I wasted so much of my life going to school.

the song is the ratatat remix of the knife's 'we share our mother's health'. i have figured out the synth/swell lead thats during the intro/verse but the chorus is giving me trouble. its this fuzzy, fast (but constant) hammer on/pull off lead where i think i have the notes to it but i can't get the ho/po's right. i'm a music theory noob but i can play along with the lead within the scale but can't get the hammer ons right. the video isn't on youtube anymore but i'm trying to upload it now, in the mean time any hammer on pull off techniques i should know?

that would make more sense...it just has been amusing me to riff off of JFK's "missile gap" speech lately for some reason whenever Russia comes up. for example, we've probably now bridged the Government Corruption Gap, but we still have a long way to go before the Presidential Supermodel Consort Gap is closed vis-a-vis Putin. Clinton would have fixed that by now.
