Jazz for aficionados
Frog, this is for you. Start at 22:15. There are other good songs there. No, I don't think that Malmsteen has depth but he can play and he plays well when he is not doing BS. Not Malmsteen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hrd5Ek54VA&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=2&ab_cha... |
Inna, thanks for the Gilmore clip. I don’t dislike David Gilmore. Not sure what it has to do with the subject of Jazz guitar, but thanks. For me, a moderately interesting Rock singer/songwriter/guitarist. As a songwriter/singer he is no Joni Mitchell 😊. Obviously, we all have different tastes, but seriously, there is a huge difference between saying one doesn’t like a style of playing and saying “he can’t play”. I think it’s important to separate the two things before making grand statements like that which can easily be disputed by objective (yes, objective) criteria which define a music. Anyway, your comment: **** Others think differently **** I’ll play. A quick search: https://www.theguitarjournal.com/top-5-acoustic-guitar-jazz-albums/ https://guitarsexchange.com/en/psych-out/416/jazz-the-best-guitarists/ https://jazzfuel.com/best-jazz-guitarists-of-all-time/ http://www.aaamusic.co.uk/2019/11/16/5-best-jazz-guitarists-of-all-time/ https://www.roadiemusic.com/blog/top-10-jazz-guitarists/ https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-jazz-guitarists-of-all-time/ranker-music https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-jazz-guitarists/amp/ https://www.somuchguitar.com/top-jazz-guitarists.html https://www.westword.com/music/the-ten-best-jazz-guitarists-of-all-time/ (Oh, and if I’m not mistaken, more Downbeat Reader’s Poll, “Best” rankings than any other. Not absolutely sure about that, but definitely not far behind.) Now, find one, ONE, comment by anyone (besides, Inna 😊) anywhere, claiming that Joe Pass “can’t play”; or, even that he was not one of the best. All in good fun, of course, no need for more of a pi&&ing contest than it already is. Cheers. |
Inna, right back at you. If the first couple of clips are unbearable 😱, do check out the last, at least. Enjoy (?): https://youtu.be/PM1cTxXy6Qo Oscar clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about 😊: https://youtu.be/p_kUJa1PueM https://youtu.be/yEu0ULY21UI You like speed: https://youtu.be/Q30bdy5b5-c |
