Re: Hmm.. Guitar sounds like crud unplugged, WOW plugged...??
Well cricket boy, here's the thing, regardless of what each of our playing level is, or style of music, or favorite tones, we are all entitled to our own opinions. There is more than you and the people who agree with you. If you happen to be a better player than me, does that mean I'm supposed to chuck everything and get the gear you have and play the kind of music you do? Do you puff out your chest? On the other hand, if I'm a better player than you, do you concede defeat and imitate me? No on both counts, so what's your point? We're not going to change what we do because of someone else, and how good a player is, or isn't, has nothing to do with it. There's a lot of great players who I respect, but
do not want to sound or play like. Millions of guitarists worldwide and many different approaches, there's room for them all. Most of us here have different favorite bands and guitarists, and with that comes different preferences in tones. This ain't the military baby, we're civilians and trying to get us all going in the same direction is like herding cats. The American spirit. What some of the geniuses here forget is that it's like dating sites, there's no guarantee that the clips anyone posts are really them playing. If you post a clip of some impressive guitarwork, how do we know it's you, either on the audio or video. It's pretty easy to fake (
'Gosh, why would someone fake anything on the internet?'). You don't have to prove anything to me, no one here has to prove anything to anyone else. If you are a better player than someone, have you earned the right to be condescending and arrogant to them? I certainly don't do that to other guys, and wouldn't do it to you, tempting as it may be. Music's about enjoyment and self expression. No one else decides what we should like.
