Derryl Gabel, Troy Grady: A great interview from Troy



You know, another player that had an impact on me is Marshall Harrison.  A friend of mine sent me a video of him in 1999 I think it was.  Back in ’93 I started working on playing  three and a half octave pentatonic scales, 3 notes per string, straight up and back down using all strings, at super high speeds.  After a while of practicing I gave up because my eyes were crossing.  I figured that it was most likely just not possible and I had the 313313 anyway. In ‘99 I saw Marshall doing this in the video and then I knew it was humanly possible.  I started working on it again and had it down in about a month.  I invited Marshall over and was really impressed with his technique.  He came over again in 2002.  He’s about 6 or 7 hours away.
