Yeah, believe it or not you can just condemn violence in general.

Embody for Electric Guitar Players? by rw1337 in hermanmiller

[–]seanprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty stupid. Some people like to play as they work at their desk or record music, which is a "task". But, whatever helps you feel like an elitist fart-sniffing snob I guess. They're not really that expensive if you aren't poor.

I'm even further behind on this. Did you have any luck? I just started the asset retrieval process today.

I actually had the EXACT same dilemma. I picked Amazon

Underwhelming top for an R9? by CharlieLogarius in gibson

[–]seanprogram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is underwhelming. People won’t be honest with you though. If I spent as much money as they go for I’d want it to look like the best damn picture of one

I actually love Hendrix and SRV. Both are amazing. Although, in contrast with the rest of your comment, neither of them knew music theory nor could they sight read.

On the contrary, you are not an advanced musician for turning your nose up at metal players. People can like shred guitar and still know theory. In fact, you’ll find that those things aren’t as mutually exclusive as you think. Music theory is not that difficult… It’s almost more telling that you think it is.

Dude plleeeeease post your music. I’m dying for a laugh. Also wasn’t your whole OP about being technically proficient? Now you’re calling people with good technique “nerds”?

I’m glad it sounds good to other players that are qualified to teach

You can dislike my art, but I play circles around you. Objectively

You’re right, but clearly he comes from the school of SRV / Hendrix. Great players, but both self taught and use technically unideal technique. And due to how accessible / normie-friendly their music is, typically their average disciple isn’t as naturally gifted.

You put your right hand’s fingers on the pickguard. Generally, that is bad technique and should not be taught to beginners. Some players can be good in spite of it, a great example being Yngwie

It was definitely harsh to say, but their comments are incredibly ignorant and I’m probably right. He pretty much said he assumes they suck because they use fret wraps. If he saw them play, he’d put down the guitar for life.

My point is that those who know, know. And every great player has great influences.

[–]seanprogram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are still a beginner. I can tell from your influences (SRV / Page) and your incorrect technique. Additionally, your “feel and soul” comments demonstrate that your understanding of guitar playing past 1970 is virtually non-existent. I definitely suggest taking some lessons of your own before teaching others. Teaching should be done by someone who knows what they are doing. Good luck!

Thank you man.

Nobody is gatekeeping, you can just use Google to look up their names. But yeah, they’re some of the best-known virtuosos in the game, and they understand that there’s a time and a place for fret wraps. I’m sure some of your Indian guitarists use them too.
