NGD...I have a woody..

First of all, you are absolutely undeniably wrong.

Second, it is abundantly clear that you actually believe what you just said.

Which brings us back to..."accept and move on"

I have to say that the new guitar with the burl headstock and pickguard is stunning.

Also, I have to ask you something...are you trying to increase your "posts" number? Is that why you always include 40-50 short posts in every one of your threads?

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Thanks! It definitely catches the eye. Plays and sounds prettty sweet too :bigthumb:

And yep...ya got me!

 

[Phantasmagoria]

I'm a canny old bugger..

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Would'nt you say?

 

[GuitarDoc]

No.

 

[GuitarDoc]

not

 

[GuitarDoc]

necessarily.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Pretty

 

[GuitarDoc]

blatant, actually.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Pot calling the kettle black? :lmao:

 

[GuitarDoc]

Who is the "pot"?!

 

[Phantasmagoria]

*hint* not me.

 

[GuitarDoc]

In your dreams

 

[Phantasmagoria]

* hint* nope, not in mine..

Something tells me we're headed for a classic chicken/egg kinda scenario...

Ideally, I need to be recording/posting more video's w/ all my guitar's..

But instead I'm engaged in riveting, high IQ debate & browsing Reverb for even more guitars :lmao:

All you need to do is LOOK at him play ....more than any other plyer I can think of ..dude plays from his heart..

If you LISTEN to him play, you can hear that he uses theory.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

No I can't...he 's not thinking "I think it's time for a diminished inverted E flat major arpeggiated thingumee next"

I don't expect you to get it though...

 

[Clint 55]

That's funny how you're acting all superior when you can't even hear the theoretical devices he uses. All high level players know their theory. They just know you have to be artistic on top of that, not just run theory. Like when MF said give me an A minor, he went and played an A minor major 7 #11 arpeggio on top of it. But I don't expect you to get that.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

Yeah, can't hear those devices sorry..

As for being 'superior' you come into this thread which has NOTHING to do w/ theory ..only to tell me how I play "wrong" notes.

I mean I love Marty Freiedman and I'm sure he has plenty of theoretical knowledge (which in his own words...the trick is to not follow so you don't sound like an automaton) and greatthat's his way of doingthings as he says don't copy me ..do it your way..which is what I do..you should try it sometime..

Play something like this ..post it here and tell us how much time you had to 'think theoretically' about your next note :bigthumb:

Music lesson time! So there are 4 aspects to playing music well. People make the analogy of there being 4 legs to a chair. There's:

1. Your musical imagination and creativity.
2. Your ear, how well you can understand music from purely the sound of it and relate that to your instrument.
3. Theory, your descriptive, structural understanding of music.
4. Technical skills, working material into your muscle memory so you can recall it and play it instinctually without having to overly process in the moment.

So one of the aspects of music making that all the greats have worked up are technical skills. This is where they'll work out ideas and practice them until their hands can execute them in time. This is what shredders do. Without this it would be impossible to do what they do. Often they will work out theoretical ideas, or ideas they just come up with with their ear, or a combination. Not having time to think up theory in the moment doesn't mean the greats don't use theory, it means they've spent time practicing the theory until it is instinctual.

I can work up a clip of me shredding, but not tonight.

Yeah, can't hear those devices sorry.

It's obvious from your playing that you can't hear.

I like the pretty thumbnails.

I like them too.
