Pretty harsh judgement from someone who has never even HEARD the guy.

I don't need to hear him. I've met him or one of his clones a dozen times.

I remember those miserable souls who said much the same arrogant thing about the playing of one James Marshall Hendrix.

laugh I would have turned my guitar upside down and tuned anywhere he wanted to get to play on a stage with him!

Of course, if you tune down a half step, you might encourage a trumpet player to show up. Can't be having that.





Now that's funny I don't care where you live!

Mac,

As usual, you missed or ignored my point entirely and turned it into an opportunity for another cheap shot. I know how hard it is for you to pass up taking a cheap shot at me.

In my first post I referenced Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn who both tuned down a half step.

Quote:
If you’re Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jimi Hendrix, then you can get away with asking others to put themselves out by conforming to your half step down desires.

He’s not SRV or JH. I’d tell him to tune to standard or go solo.

The music scene around here is very odd. The guys/gals that play try to be in as many situations as possible to maximise the ability to play out.I've worked my way into this circle.One of the situations is to be part of a Band with this guy. Rehearse once a week, play the occasional gig.For this situation I think it was up to him to come to a solution.And we have. My points:
1. I would tune down or play flat for a one shot gig.
2. I would play flat or tune down for a recording.
3. I would tune down for a permanent gig$$$$$$$$$$ with some one that tuned down.

Thanks for all of the input. It actually really helped.

And, as usual, you mistake a bid for tolerance of others as a "cheap shot".

The fact remains that you do not know if this fellow is or is not another JH or SRV because you have never heard him.

On top of that, there are plenty of examples where both of the above were still moving towards what they finally became, but were not yet there. (Those recordings of Jimi horrendously out of tune, SRV not sounding anything like the SRV we came to know, etc.)

If anything, the "cheap shot" started with your ASSumption, sir.
