My youngest son was born w/ CFEOM type 1, so I register Pete's eye for about a nanosecond. He's a great musician. The show with Tim Pierce is one of the best pop guitar things on the internet. He's more rock and less shreddy and I love him for it, although he can clearly shred, but he plays in bands and/or w/ artists with songs and his ability to work within that framework, especially delivering what they want is why we've even heard of him.
Pete's the real deal. A modern, highly successful working musician.
