I only found out later that Kotzen was part of the Becker/Gilbert/Friedman crew. Glad he went the way he did. Much more refreshing and original compared to just shred guitar.

Yeah I'm not actually criticizing him other than I feel like he put a limiter on his playing. Perhaps playing with his fingers is easier for him when singing, or maybe he prefers fingers for his "power blues" style or whatever it's called.
I also think it's funny that he was kicked out of Poison for sleeping with the drummer's wife. Doesn't use picks, sleeps with married women - what a fukking deviant.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I went through a huge pick phase. I started off with Dunlops of various thickness with mainly the tortoise ones or the gator grips, occasionally the jazz III, stubby, delrin, and ultex versions. Then moved to V-picks. Then went to Wegen picks. Then moved to Gravity picks. Then moved to Blue Chip picks for awhile. Then decided the Blue Chips, while extremely durable and glided off the string so smoothly, were just a bit too warm. Then went to Red Bear Trading Company which had the best tone but due to the organic nature of the picks I stopped really using them, they're just too fragile. From there went to Chicken Picks and have stayed with them.
Of all those picks I seem to like the Chicken pick material the best. The material feels like bone and I believe it's made of the same material they use for museum dinosaur bones. I really like the texture of the tone the pick brings - similar to Red Bear Trading Company casein picks which apparently sound close to hawksbill turtle picks, but without the fragility.
I really like the Chicken Picks BADAZZ III in 2.0mm. Which is very close to a Jazz III I believe.

It's at that time I discovered jazz fusion, as would a lot of other people and a whole new world of music theory and harmony. Along with the nuances and creativity involved with "playing outside".

Dunlop Jazz II's. A rounded edge which is nice for jazzy tones but pointed enough for lead work. I also had a Tortex which was thicker and good for crunchy metal work.
I remember reading about a special designed pick that some amateur dude created, which I read about in Guitar World aeons ago. It could alter the thickness on the go, which would have been perfect for the chit I was doing. I can't for the life of me remember WTF it was called.
Back off, Warchild.

It's funny how I vacillate between the FM3 and the ENGL. The Axe-FX algorithms have just gotten so good. However, there is no amp in the Axe-FX stable that really mimics the tone I get from the ENGL Ironball SE.
Strongly considering getting a Tonex pedal just to capture my ENGL lol.

walked into a Mom and Pop shop 1400 miles from home, and after 2 years of looking for one just to test drive, there was a Gibson SJ200.
Instantly in love. Huge sound, but wow it sounds so clear: you can pick out each note perfectly. I was expecting it to be a big, deep sound, maybe even a little muddy, but it's so clear and balanced

But I need to try them in 2.0mm

So, since he skipped the question, let's start with something easier, shall we? If he has studied jazz harmony, then he should be able to answer:
Original progression: Ebma7 C7 Fmi7 Bb7 Ebma7
Simple reharmonization: Ebma7 E°7 Fmi7 E7 Ebma7
Explain functionally how and why the diminished and dominant chords work as substitutes.

Cept I never called or implied anyone was a peasant, nor was I condescening to anyone. I simply said I found jazz to offer a level of complexity the 80s shredders weren't offering (which makes sense, since heavy distortion won't work with that complex a harmony, really).
It's simply an autobiographical comment, which for some weird reason, prompted your little pop quiz. FYI, Tony Macalpine made a similar progress. He was an archetypal 80s shredder but formed the CAB band with Bunny Brunel and Dennis Chambers in the 90s which was jazz fusion.
I don't know why you did your own scare quotes when my own words are right there to quote.
Back off, Warchild.

The fact that you're refusing to explain the chord progression is very sus.

Once again, here it is, it's just three chords:
Dbm7 Gb7 Abmaj7
If you can't explain what that is (or isn't, in case I just wrote 3 random chords that make no sense to try and trick you) there's no way you're well versed in jazz harmony.

No, I wasn't. I'm speaking of the limitations of harmony in a particular genre of music, not attacking any one in particular. Of course a limited harmony will sound trite after awhile, it's just the way the ear works.
Z4v4 correctly identified you as springing a pretty childish gotcha, and he actually poses a better question IMO. Yours is missing some vital context IMO: What key is it? Jazz progressions don't necessarily start from the root chord.
Z4v4 asked about chord substitutions. The diminished chord substitution has the same notes as the original chord sans sharing the root. If you eliminate the root you have the same notes, and your bass player for example, could shape the chord by choosing the root note. Why might you choose it? From memory it'd create a stronger desire in the ear for resolution to the root chord, or it could give you options for diminished scales/arpeggios over the chord.
The second concept he poses is the tritone substition, where you substitute a 7th chord for one a tritone away (flattened fifth). Why? Offers a nice chromatic descension in your root notes of the chord progression if you're doing a II-V-I.
That, IMO, is a perfect explanation Z4v4 would be happy with. I didn't even have to look back over the page, I worked from memory of what I thought he wrote.
See, I'm not really thinking you were acting in good faith here. I think he correctly called you on making a pretty childish gotcha. You could have been doing the DDSF1 thing where I jump through your hoops and you find an excuse to keep it going, like he accuses me of faking my transcript, you could have just said "Ha! You googled that!".
Was that your intention, to just accuse me of cheating or googling?
Back off, Warchild.
