This is sweet! I know all the octave relationships on the fretboard, but I don't really play electric, so it's cool to see how it gets incorporated into soloing.

And then I realized that the chord progression from Chrono Cross's Another World is the same progression as the chorus from Peace of Mind by Boston, and life was never quite the same.

Hahaha, give this guy 3 octaves and he'll shred you a solo. Give him a Spice Girls song and he'll make you jump all over your room and play air-guitar. Even his "Boku no Atama" has a kickass solo. Gotta love him... :)
