Muris, I was wondering what you want to do, ultimately, with your skills? Can you make enough money as a professional player where you live? Are you planning on anything like relocating? For instance, Japan loves killer guitar players, I'll bet you could do well there. America is coming back around as far as musical tastes, where musicianship is concerned. You know, for a while there, it seemed like we regressed, musically. Rap is still prevalent on the radio, but good guitar oriented bands are making a comeback. I've got to tell you that I think you would be a strong candidate to teach at Musicians' Institute in California, or any guitar-oriented school here, for that matter. I just finished reading a good article about Yngwie, and, as a result of a tape he sent to Mike Varney, he emigrated to the U.S. The rest is history! You are that good a player, my friend, I would dare say even more advanced, as you have conquered many styles! Your personal story must be compelling, also, which I think would endear you to that many more fans/prospects. I want to see you get the recognition you deserve, I am convinced that you are a rare gem! Have you contacted Steve Vais' Favored Nations distribution company? There are loads of top-notch players on his label. You would impress him, my friend! Just some suggestions, Muris. I wish you the best, you are the best! P.S. Come on over and stay at my house with my parents and me until we get you the 'perfect gig'...room and board for lessons! Ha! ha!

There's no doubt about that, Muris would impress anyone with his playing

Those are very kind words Frank and Audiopaal,thanks

You know,being musician here in Bosnia isn't greatest thing on earth
but luckily I have contacts with almost every artist,bend,studio etc.
So I do have a lot of work BUT it takes some time to finish my own stuff
and have real progress with my own career,you just have to pay the bills,you know..
But yeah,I'm planing to move somewhere,not sure when and where 100%
but I'm working on it.

I agree with FrankW and audiopaal too man. You're a class player and should be out there making a name for yourself too. For me you're not a
just session or band player, you are top notch guitar hero material. OK, you do need to practice some more for that but...

Is it time to run around and put up Muris Varajic posters?

You're allready famous around my friends, after I showed them your Extreme Neoclassical Lesson

One of them actually lay down on the floor and said that he's not worthy ^^
Dunno if they spread your talent around, but I sure am

Edit: Woho! 300 posts!

Also, was reminded now when I saw a commercial: Why not take a shot at Eurovision Song Contest next year?
You can sing AND play guitar, you'll dominate the thing
