About people learning to play guitar, i just dont know i'm afraid.
"Also, don't compare Satch to John Lee Hooker, that's like comparing apples to oranges"
Oh..hmmm... i wasnt comparing them directly, it was just an example to show that being a great guitarist isn't about arpegegaiting like there's no tommorow, it's about convaying feelings (this is where the line between ability to play and songwriting begins to blur a little).
Hand on heart, do you think that "surfing with the alien" is a good album?, or something for people to pratice thier skills along to. I've got nothing against the guy....
"i will appreciate any musician, who has a real reason to take a guitar in his hands and make a record. " amen to that too!
But what has every advanced guitarist got against Kurt Cobain, his stuff is simple, and it's catchy and moving, what more could you ask for (besides improved guitaring ablity).
"but i think he deserves all the respect, because he is a great guitar player," i do agree with that, but no matter how good you are there's no excuse for "s.w.t.a".
One of my favourite songs is "sometimes [liecster piggot]" by james, and that song only has ONE CHORD, it's hard to imagine at first, but listen to it, it's really a narative with some cool music in the background, and it work really well.
