Richard,

If you don't like something, fine, but why poormouth it? You are just revealing your own deficiencies. ………………….I've got the education and experience to know what I'm listening to.



Seriously dude, …… did you read that before posting it? That’s pretty arrogant stuff, and quite frankly surprising coming from you. You just personified what Mick said in the post just before yours:

Quote:

The arrogance of some musicians that believe one must be "mentally developed to be prepared, sophisticated, mature enough to appreciate the finer things in life, the depth & breadth, the nuances, blah...blah... blah..." drives me up a wall!

It's just another elitist..."the peons would never fully appreciate a fine cognac like this" type thinking.



I couldn't possibly have said it better myself.

So obviously I revealed my deficiencies, lack of education and inexperience by criticizing the clip, although in reference to the artist I said:

Quote:

He would have to be technically advanced to pull this off. And the fact that he transposed this from another instrument and memorized it is also impressive.



If vishnu had simply posted the clip and said something to the effect of “here’s a guitarist you guys might enjoy”, I wouldn’t have even commented on it. But when he used terms like “superhuman” and “you’ve been warned”, I had to comment on it.

I’m not going to criticize the folks who like it, but the things you just said about the folks who had a differing opinion are pretty arrogant. Once again, I’m surprised!

Bob
