    Is it true?Can you play everything with a Strat?

    I went to a small gig downtown,few days ago.There were four ambitious kids ,trying to play some really complicated progressive stuff...Some lack of synchronization,some unfortunate sound effects but generally a pretty decent performance. What really pinched me was the guitarist's axe,a Strat...
