People often think that if you do some really hard, nice work for yourself - you like to work for free? :icon_scratch: I mean, you didn't pay yourself, right - Bro? Right... bro. And in many cases people like Paul Gilbert & John McLaughlin & Brad Paisley & Jeff Beck actually can do their own fretwork if they had to - but they don't, and they'll happily pony up the $300 that the top-line guys like Joe Glaser & Mike Lipe charge for the good stuff. Because they know how tedious, ummm, "zen-y" it really is.
