That said i've read some of his other posts and i think he's a rad dude, didn't mean to sound nasty.

In fact you might say i illicited just the sort of response he was poking at lol... how awkward Nah, you had it right. You're new, so I'll catch you up. It's a well known fact around here that kingpatzer despises jazz and finds theory to be useless bookworm type stuff for people who can't play with emotion. And you know how much GrungeSunset hates Jimi Hendrix? Well, that's almost how much kingpatzer hates Django Reinhardt.

Now everybody is familiar with Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower. But live he did not play it like his own studio version.

I am willing to bet he played it differently every time he played it.

But now check out Neil Young's version:

And neither of these versions sound like the original by Bob Dylan:

So you see, the pros cover songs all the time, but when they do, they play it their way.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-a-little-frustrated/#post-292508 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-a-little-frustrated/#post-292468 Wed, 14 May 2008 16:22:49 +0000
I dont listen to jazz much, but I would sit and listen to him for hours personally.

As long as you have an intermediate knowledge of music theory i don't see how anybody could not be amazed by well played jazz.

Although i suppose a lot of guys who can't be bothered learning their fretboard and getting some theory knowlege tend to get a bit threatened by guys who can improv intelligent complex solos that would take them a month to learn.

Tho i still like you coz of your wicked chord knowledge exercise.

Just be nice to jazz :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion spides https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-a-little-frustrated/#post-292429 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-a-little-frustrated/#post-292345 Tue, 13 May 2008 17:00:11 +0000
Other solo's are filler in a tune, and aren't thought of by the average listener as essential content. But even in these, you still need the solo to start and finish sounding as much like the original as possible -- simply so there is a certain continuity between a listener's expectations and what you deliver.

Copying other guitarists is a great way to learn and get ideas. But the goal is to develop your own sound and style. So don't even try to copy Slash, play your own solo. Who knows, it might be better than the original! Question for you about this then. If in a cover band, do you need to know the song's solo, or is improvising your own acceptable?

OK, another question. Take a couple of songs with some pretty strong leads (recognizable) like Shine On You Crazy Diamond (thinking about part 2 I think?) and Brothers In Arms. Does the same apply to that? These are not little solos so much as they are much bigger parts of the song.]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-a-little-frustrated/#post-292344
