You start referring to your time in a high school garage band as chamber music experience.

Hold on a minute, just what are you trying to say ...
-
David Krupka Let's ask this group of teenagers which one they prefer.
-
Eric Phillips Actually, we'd probably get a similar response from more than a few guitarists ...
-
David Krupka Truth!
-
Eric Phillips I don't get it
