Do you play an instrument?

Compose your heart out - there's no need for lyrics mate :P

And mayneee, give the world a crazily catchy bassline and all of us would probably headbang to it until the end of time - #BASSPOWERS
Yngwie Malmsteen is the boss \O/
Sungha's kinda "stiff" now, I think the media's restricting him to more work and less freedom - I can sense it. But other players like Simeon Baker, Tobias Rauscher, Eddie van der Meer -- are still staying true to themselves!

I had never heard of Simeon or Eddie before, but I'm glad you mentioned them they're incredible :o
If you want to hear pure talent, check out Rob Scallon (if you don't know of him already). It seems like there isn't an instrument/genre he can't play.
Some other guys I like are Rob Chapman (His guitars are also beautiful) and Grant Stinnett.

And I like instrumental music when its interesting to me, like SMV, Dream Theater (on songs like Dance of Eternity) and Nok Novum. I'm actually writing an instrumental piece with my guitar teacher, but its mostly just an exercise to see how technically crazy we can write a piece. Weird time signatures, awkward feels, stupid keys (at some parts it's practically atonal) and a ridiculous tempo, not the best sounding piece but it should be a good warm up haha.

Improv is pretty much all I do when I'm not practicing to nail a particular lick or something. Unfortunately you can't really play a bass line and a melody on the bass/guitar without two-hand tapping which can be bloody difficult. Loops are definitely my friend
