You're still wrong. You couldn't be more wrong.
It's not about who you like the best - that's an entirely different list. This is a set list with objective criteria.
Frankly. I'm eminently qualified to voice and hold these views.
You, on the other hand, haven't even taken the time to understand the subject but still feel as though you have a valid opinion.
That's also wrong.
I can call you wrong - all day long.
Well no... I can call you wrong for a few more hours. Then I'm a little busy! ;-)
You're just WRONG!
As for your Malmsteen vs. Rhodes question - if only you looked and saw the list and that'd answer that question for you. Sheesh!
You're just WRONG!
You have done nothing here but state 'you're wrong' which is not a compelling argument. I'm not even trying to defend Hendrix. But this argument of someone being better is entirely subjective. I love Mingus and think Jellyroll is entirely overrated. Early Miles was hot, later Miles was just drugs. Who is better? This isn't like putting two cars on a quarter mile. One will be faster, end of argument. Art isn't like that. Sorry man, no matter your schooling, you are absolutely wrong. And I did more than say 'you're wrong'.
Shit, sorry. I deleted you post by accident. It's a single button click.
Can you repost it?
I'm truly sorry about that.
It's all still in the thread. Basically, I'm going to reduce my argument to this- many people can learn to play Cliffs of Dover, it requires an artist to write Cliffs of Dover. And there isn't a school in the world which can teach such a thing. The number of notes crammed into a measure isn't a measure of skill. Or maybe, it's Only a measure of skill and not artistry. I'm not interested in how fast someone can play notes. I want your soul inside those notes. And that can't be measured. The idea is ridiculous.
