nice gift, how old is he?
my daughter is five and is always asking for a guitar
short-scale eh, i'll chack that out
he's barely 2, not a player yet obviously, but he liked my guitars and i saw a cheap auction ebay, so i said why not. worst case scenario: i'll play it. it's an ibanez mikro (grgm-something) btw, but my luthier buddy said that these are all the same, you can have a squier mini strat or basically any short-scale guitar.

fukin tornado of soulsss....this song for me is what heavy metal is. Too epic...ad the solos and composition from friedman were so direct and strong in this album. Masterpiece.
I like more as a guitarrist Kiko Loureiro (actual main man in megadeth)...because i grew up listening to angra and IMO Kiko is just too technical and has mastered all sorts of styled and techniques......BUT for some arcane reason he cant properly play Tornado of souls solo to perfection in megadeth... i dont fukin know why.
it's not the technical aspects, it's the feel, the timing. friedman has some weird picking technique (check his right hand, his wrist looks like no one else's while playing) and some characteristic bends, vibratos, too. once i've learned the whole solo when i was like 18-19, it was close to perfect technically, but i never managed to get the timing of the bends right. marty is a master of timing.
