one man band

hehehe... Red, I play more than just Hendrix. I play jazz, blues and rock, and i have passed all the grades you can throw at me. If you particularly want i can do you a rough recording of me. I was being arrogant then to raise a laugh, i wasn't seriously believing that i was amazing... As for Hendrix vs Metheny that would be interesting. If it was a CrossRoads style thing that would be hilarious. Hendrix would have the wow factor, but obviously Metheny would "be more complex and all... he would own Hendrix as far as technique and improvisational complexity are concerned". I've heard Little Wing and Purple Haze far too many times for me to like them any more. But live, Jimi out does most jazz guitarist for sheer emotion and drug-fuelled intensity. Jazz musicians (i know, because i'm one of them) tend to find their way around their song based on the chord changes going on around them and stick with licks they have already learnt, applying them to new chord changes as the song goes on. Jimi had more guts, and went all out every time, with (nowadays pretty average) speed and guile. And some capital letters wouldn't go a miss, Red. (j/k)

The testamonials made me laugh. And damn those things are expensive. I'd rather have my girlfriend cheat on me than spend $99 on panties.

And why would that be a problem? Anyways, i thought "Be Cool" was a BIG disappointment. Wasn't even funny, nevermind cool.

Yeah i know they are completely different styles but the sheer speed is there. I'm not a fan of speed orgasm guitar, but some guys like it so all power to them. I prefer Holdsworth to Becker (Becker just hurts after a while) but there's only so much pretentious neo-classical boasting a poor guitar teacher from fucking Kent can take.

If you guys like Holdsworth, try Jason Becker. He was pretty amazing back in the day. I think he got terminally ill and just composes nowadays. But he could give Holdsworth.

Perhaps I could take you more seriously if you took the time to write out proper sentences that actually make sense. No offense, but "I consider it boring playing 1, so repeitive, so blah, so ah who knows, i cant talk much i like SRV" makes very little sense! And i get your point but it looks like we are both too stubborn to back down, so i'll leave it there.

Oh come on, the ladies love a bit of Kurt. And i couldn't care less what the bassist name was. And Dave Grohl makes me laugh because he dresses in women's clothing from time to time. Which is no bad thing.

:x :x :x :x :x :x :x

Menstrual slave? Are you sure you know what that means?

America - Ventura Highway

hehehe...

The afforementioned murders may or may not have taken place, depending on what hearsay or conjection you indulge in, and was commited by the aptly named quasicartes on the night in question. And being a slave for a girl makes you a murderer when you murder the other slaves to be alone with your mistress in your own freaky little world for two.

Not a Nirvana fan either. Kurt Cobain was not a good lyricist. They were only famous because he was good-looking and managed to create a legend out of himself by his suicide. Couldn't play guitar for shit either. Dave Grohl makes me laugh though. And the bassist...Nick whatisname...he's such a dork.

In a list compiled by the British public, Ok Computer came number 1 in the Greatest Albums of All Time. Its a good album, but not that good.

Soulwax - NY Excuse

Just because jazz musicians have more free time than friends doesn't mean they are better than the rest of us. The amount of strong Italian coffee also has no bearing on how well a musician improvises. I play jazz often, and have found it interesting to play but boring and wandering to listen to. Someone improvising over 5,6 or 7 key changes just doesn't sound good. And when where these 'jazz days'? People still play jazz, Red. It's not as if jazz just stopped, is it? And yes, Jimi was the best improviser on the planet, when it comes to inventing new song on the spot. Have you ever listened to any live Jimi bootlegs? See how many different scales he used - more than just pentatonic and blues scales.

Actually, if you murder someone (not saying you did, of course...the jury is still out on that particular case...) but did not get caught, you have still broken the law, haven't you Einstein?

Jimi was an inspiration for many guitarists. I teach guitar now, and a lot of kids ask me i can "play like Jimi Hendrix". And i can, because i am amazing. But also because Jimi basically took the blues licks he had heard as a child and put them on electric, distorted guitar. Then he was just in the right place at the right time. He wasn't technically brilliant, like a Steve Vai or Satriani, but he improvised better than pretty much anyone on the planet, before or since. History lesson over. PS. All Along The Watchtower is clearly the best Jimi song.

You listening to Brit music now, eh? Happy Mondays - Step On.

I'm sure he's a nice guy. Once you past all the gold and huge piles of money that he swims in and uses to light big fat cigars whilst feeding competitors to sharks with laser-beams attached to their heads!!! Bill Gates is such a fucking asshole. Why can't he just make a simple operating system that doesn't break every five seconds. And he has enough money to stop world poverty, countless diseases all with enough to spare for 12 gulf states. RANT OVER. Anyway, this happens to my too, but usually when i'm drunk and can't hold the mouse properly.

I've used that excuse countless times and its got me nowhere mate. Like the time i stole a micro-wave, i was asked by the police why i stole it, and i said "because the colour matches my eyes" (it was white, I was just trying to piss them off) and he said "don't be so f***ing stupid", to which i said "stupidity isn't a crime!" Here endeth the lesson.

only just getting back into posting on this site. w00t!
