Canon Rock took him 2 weeks to finish, but the Clasic version has influenced him for over 10 years.
6. Between his own songs, which one he likes most?
He said on an interview that his favourite song was Canon Rock, but sometime later (10th March), when we asked this to him, he said that there was a certain song that he hadn't finished yet, and that is his favourite. (It isnt released yet)
7. How many hours does Jerry plays guitar everyday?
About 6~10 hours a day.
8. Is there any album or CD released yet?
No. He is currently looking for a band and/or a recording contract, any updates on this he will anounce.
9. Is JerryC planing to release any other tabs or backing tracks?
As he said some months ago, he wont be releasing any more tabs or backing tracks cause it is very time-taking for him, and he is busy.
