One for you Guitaries

Yeah well I've had the snip so it only fires blanks.

Seen that clip many many times.

I play guitar myself as Joe knows....after past debates

The kid playing that piece is a very very good guitarist. If people dont like the song he has chosen to play then thats fair enough, but you cannot criticise his playing technique.

His harmonics are brilliant, his sweeping is very very good.

Joe, you have to admire his talent because he has it, he is doing things a lot of guitarist cant

 

[joe-90]

He's not doing it in real time. It's a stitch together job then speeded up.

Cant see any evidence of stitching up, hes played the song and put it over a video of him playing it.

Its not even been speeded up

 

[joe-90]

Think what you like mate. Why do you think he hides his face? What else has he done?


The final video isn't spliced - he's just playing air guitar - he's miming. The recorded stuff is done at a slow speed, bit by bit, and then speeded up.

You'll tell me next that Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating and Amy Winehouse can sing in-tune without their pitch corrector.

Brian May has made a fortune making that same sound.

What's up, Joe? The player has talent, and there was no evidence of trickery. At 4.00 mins it got quite technical.

No complaints. My verdict : good playing and good interpretation.

(But what would I know)

 

[joe-90]

what would I know)

Exactly my point.

 

[lifesagasman]

And what do you know?

 

[joe-90]

More than you.

I can only play " smoke on the water" ..........................................................................................................................on air guitar

 

[snico]

I play electric and acoustic pretty well, I can tell you now Joe, that clip has not been spliced or speeded up

Here he is Joe, playing at the Youtube conference, doesnt look like its been 'speeded up' here

Awful phrasing and full of mistakes. Out of tune bends etc. If you think that's music then I pity you.

Hes playing infront of thousands of people live, diff set up, not inline audio, full of nerves etc

Have you heard some of the best guitarists in the world play live, they make mistakes too

Fact is Joe, hes a good guitarist and doesnt speed up his play. Phrasing is only connecting a few licks together, his phrasing matches up with the backing track and chord progression so you cant knock him there

We will have to just agree to disagree, but i'm right on this one

 

[joe-90]

So he plays someone else's arrangement badly - and you think he's brilliant? Let's hear what else he does. Is a Utube convention the height of his prowess? Do you REALLY play guitar mate?
