So, there I was at the gym, getting ready to head to the studio.

For those of you that work out or have worked out in the past, you know that you stay hot for a while after working out. But I digress....

As I finish drying my hair, standing in front of the huge fan in a desperate attempt to not start sweating again, I realize that my hair was flying back much like Steve Vai's hair does when he plays.

Now, if you don't know who Steve Vai is, he is a sucker for a taking his solos in front of a big fan. I think I've read somewhere that his flowing locks help him play behind the back two-handed tapped arpeggios at 218 bpm using 32nd notes (yeah, that's the ticket).

Anyway, it took that split second realization for me to lapse into what I call the "Guitar Hero Daydream". You know the one, complete with 50,000 screaming fans, an awesome band backing you up and righteous tones flowing from your finger tips. Oh, was it sweet

That was until a guy I like to call "Gravy Train" came through - (i'll save the details on Gravy Train, or GT as I like to call him. If you want to know more, ask me). GT started talking to me and snapped me out of my oh-so-wonderful daydream.

Afterwords, I had to laugh at myself and thought you could get a laugh out of it as well. Guitar daydreams are nice, but just think how much better it would be if all the hard work you put in made your daydream a reality.

Now, time for practice!!!
