I saw kris on UG, but never bothered downloading his vids (at that time there was no UG TV). I saw that kris' vids were like 70mb and i thought those lessons were a total waste of time (was a real idiot).
Later i tried Van Helens eruption and one of the only part i found doable was the tapping bit. Fact wass i couldnt tap for [toffee] (never understood the technique). Then a few weeks later i saw a free advert of Kris' tapping lesson on some site (think it was a gardening site). I LEARNT HOW TO TAP IN LIKE 10 MINUTES!!!!! I was totally blown away but the quality of that lesson. I immeadilty asked my dad for his creadit card, but my dad totally disagreed because: 1- This was happening last March when I was having my Exams 2-My dad is totally against spending online So after my exams i was [totally] bored because I relocated countries (from Canada to Dubai) and there really nothing to do down here. So my dad let me sign up one day, right after we had a huge argument (to the point that he threw his car keys on the floor with frustration and chipped off the side plastic bit). Strangely, he agreed to let me sign up (he had the lets get it over with attiude and got me signed up in 5 minutes or less). As my dad came into my room later to apologize and see how im doing I had already got down the first vid of gabriels Iron Maiden 1 lesson and my mom came in was like "I hated Iron Maiden, Metallica and GNR when i was your age. they all used to sing so nasal."" I also went through Kris' 101 lessons and Pavels Alt picking and sweeping lessons. And for the next few weeks i was going haywire browsing this site till like 3 or 4 in the morning everyday. As my dad came into my room to apologize and see how im doing I had already got down the first vid of gabriels Iron Maiden 1 lesson. Gmc had an awesome charm last year (dunno why, i liked it when there were fewer members, Pavel and Andrwe scoring 40 posts a day, Kris with a totally different avatar (i think the one with the yacht behind him, me baffled by the world of shred, and the list goes on...... But there has been huge amount of advancement in this site since i joined. If you leave this site for a month and return youll notice a whole world of change (speaking from self experience here).
