I've started to take sporadic guitar lessons again after thinking I'd injured myself playing earlier this year, I hadn't, and at the end of my second lesson back my teacher has set me part of a Michael Angelo Batio solo to lear, is this a cruel joke

I feel like I only have room for one album like this on my list and I think I liked how Fallujah's Xenotaph sounded better, butbask me again tomorrow and I'll say the other way around
