There used to be tons of musician rock guitar instructional videos back in the 90s and the large majority of them are junk but Petrucci’s Rock Discipline is actually quite thorough and useful.

JP's Wild Stringdom is pretty good too.

Alice Cooper's guitarist.

As DTF's biggest Alice Cooper fan, I am well aware who Nita Straus is. She was also in the Iron Maidens as well.

Cool Chris, you'll have to travel this road alone, brother.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

On the path that divides, we will not be by your side :D Anyway, she seems quite friendly as a person too.

leading other people to stop playing is something I'd love to achieve really. Cool voiceover too.

That's funny because I actually didn't realize they were the same person.  I clicked on the link and was like, "Oh, wow, I never realized how much she kinda looks like the chick that used to be in Iron Maidens.  But I'm pretty sure I remember that name from Alice Cooper's band, so I'm pretty sure it's actually that chick instead."  :lol

Nita seems like a really cool lady and she's awesome in Alice Cooper's band.  My friend said she was cool in her solo show and she seems very down to earth.  Apparently learned a lot from Alice who's a good role model IMO.  Nice to see she's a JP fan too, I wasn't aware of that.
