guitar solos where less is more

Inna do you play guitar? If you do, you would appreciate how difficult it is to do what he did. You can find thousands who shred like Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen (not knocking them as I do like their playing too) but rarely can you find who knows phrasing of meladies and subtleties of chord progression like Ted did. Just my opinion.

Pehare, I'm glad you enjoy Teds playing as much as I. He improvised jazz and classical styles in that piece. Go to YouTube and search Arlen Roth When a man loves a woman. There are two versions, one in his home and another in a studio, the latter has better sound. I think you would also like it too.

To fully appreciate Onhyway 61's response:

I wouldn't call it playing guitar but I am familiar with the instrument and know how difficult it is.
You might like this though again it is not "less is more" in terms of technique.

Inna, I was trained in classical guitar orginally. Nino is a flamenco guitar player, a very good one at that. It's an entirely different style of guitar playing. His playing is no better or worse than Ted, just different. Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it. You should try to be more open to other styles of guitar playing. See my next post.
