I can't believe you e-mailed him usernames like "tantric_fart".

Just wait until you have to market yourself some more. That "/arrogance" will have to become your reality.

I am not Steve Vai, but I have to respond. You realize that having a degree in engineering doesn't close off your musical pursuits, right? There are thousands of guys that took those two interests and made a living out of them. I personally have found that music is so much more interesting as a side hobby, and making it my livelihood took away all of its charm. Playing guitar feels so much better when you are doing it for fun instead of for a pay check. And even if this doesn't ring true with you, you can design a new type of stomp box or recording technique or something similar to get your dues from.

Just don't name it Ezzy or whatever that poor kid's name was.
