Hello, regular readers (it seems that the blog is working well .. let's hear) ... Today I wanted to offer an interesting discussion which mainly deals with guitarists, bassists and drummers as well. We are often led astray by listening , especially when we listen to music with high exposure technique and virtuosity.
What do I mean?
Listening to a virtuoso of the instrument tends to make us forget the musical component (often This is ... is not true that making lots of notes automatically become expressionless, cold, and no swimming is the sport most complete). The problem is mainly of the listener-musician who, dazzled by the virtuosity , forget to bring the case to the arrangement, the sound, the phrasing and all those things that make him a complete musician. Shining example for guitarists: Steve Vai Although I'm not sure a huge fan, I recognize in him a deep musical and certainly the brilliant insights that have, in addition to an instrumental technique of the first order. There are many of his fans (I'm generalizing, try to understand what I'm talking about) trying to emulate him in every way but focus only on the most dazzling of his music-making: virtuosity, precisely. Forget the rest, we have legions of aspiring guitarists with a sound and a touch controversial, without a shadow of phrasing, but with a high propensity to virtuosity (how many times I repeated that word today?), Oblivious to the fact that Mr. Go In addition to technique of the first order, also has other qualities. Then, whether we like it or not is a matter of taste, but some parameters are objective! The same can be applied for when the bass are blinded by some kind of funk and begin to släppa unashamedly influenced by Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and others (who have yet another depth, of course), or just discover that the drummers Mike Portnoy begin to move with exaggerated accents and their suonaggio * * (a neologism that is now commonly accepted). I am also firmly convinced that the antipathy that has to be said a little virtuosos 'envy, and a bit' by the fact that there are many of their fans who can not grasp the music behind the virtuosity , which often is not free.
What do you think? ... I hope that you have understood the speech:) Matt
