jazz= fluid, smooth chops
shred= killer, tearing, shredding chops.
a virtuoso in my mind is someone who has absolute and complete mastery of their instrument.
they have played and studied all their lives and have a unique skill that is incomparable.
a master.

it is different from a prodigy, who are gifted beyond their age.]]> Opinions and Polls dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-282282 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-282263 Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:19:14 +0000 For me these could use a little clarifying:

Chops (I've heard it used in situations implying the ability to play with speed, and also in the context of the ability to coordinate left and right hands well when playing). This one keeps haunting me

Virtuoso (what exactly defines a virtuoso in modern day terminology)

(but that goes way back to the days of black and white cartoon shows)I'm pretty sure its "El Kabong." I heard it in an old color cartoon. One of the many dog characters that were around had an alter ego as a super hero by that name that went around hitting bad guys over the head with an acoustic. :twisted: Strangely enough I don't think the guitar ever actually broke. I could be wrong though, its been years since I saw any of these.]]> Opinions and Polls Guitar_Samurai https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-282110 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-282088 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:17:38 +0000

Yep, he plays with his Johnson all the time (sometimes in public) and yet somehow always escapes...]]> Opinions and Polls Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-282002 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-281976 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:30:39 +0000 Opinions and Polls Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-281976 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/guitar-slang/#post-281971 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:50:24 +0000 el Kabong(er)?
