Granted. Which just reinforces the 'slow and sweet with emotion' side of the discussion. ;) |

Sometimes, if the guitarist is skillful enough, it seems like one long note that starts in a beautiful place and ends in a beautiful place, having visited many more nice places in-between.
It's like a slow, sweet passage with a whole bunch of punctuation in the middle. And I DO love it, I truly do. |

Location: Chicago | Over the last three years of intensive band practice and gigs I have received a very strong message from my listeners: we like the lyrical and soulful playing FAR more than technical show-offs. I've slowed WAY down and now, more often than not, take a languid solo in octaves or just look for the spaces that Matt Smith speaks of. Miles Davis was famous as an example of a beautiful silence-to-noise ratio! |

Music to me is what sounds good. I don't particularly care how or what the artist is feeling. |

I DID learn to defer to my betters, so I concede the point, and further concede that I probably need to get to this point in my own development. |

Packing as many notes into the least time
