||||||||
|

|
clapton is god |
||||||||
|

oh, this shit again? for those who don't know what this is, stsanders overdubs himself playing guitar to videos of real guitarrists. some find it funny. it makes me cringe. :| |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't even look at the video. It wasn't very funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the "metallica - one" video is hilarious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
God, guitars are so boring and one-dimensional. Sampled farts are more interesting - probably :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can add effects and shit to guitars, Just like oscillators |
||||||||
|
|

the stsanders videos are hilarious! |

this makes my day that much better!!! hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the carlos santana one is amazing too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I want to kick this guy's ass for being so good. Seriously, if you could play guitar like that, landing a girlie or two any given night wouldn't even be fair. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, I'm sure this is much better than the original too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

He's over-rated. I could out play him with my eyes closed and my penis clenched in the gaping jaw of a Rotweiler whilst being stabbed in the back several times by an out of control bitch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
This is the best guitar playing I have ever seen. Its not showy, no slapping the guitar, just amazing picking. Its bluegrass so you might not like the music, but I do. You can't deny the man's talent though. He doesn't even look at the strings |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, that was a real treat... Why does it seem like the general level of talent in the 60's and 70's was mountains higher than it is now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe because you judge "general talent" by what you see on TV. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My remark was not in regards to talent I've seen on TV, but musicians in general. I wasn't trying to sell any current artist's talent short, but rather point out that, for the most part, mainstream musicians do not seem to be as talented or try as hard (one or the other) as artists of previous eras. I don't mean to imply that there isn't a wealth of incredible talent still buried in the underground, but compare today's mainstream rock bands and pop acts to those of 20-30 years prior and you might begin to see where I'm coming from. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bah, screwed up tag. the only thing that should be italicized is "for the most part." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"...for the mos part, mainstream musicians do not seem to be as talented or try as hard (one of the other) as artists of previous eras." Excluding Pink, of course. |

im still crying laughing from all of these vids from stsanders |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Cause 30 years ago it was about how good you sounded, not how good looking you are. If you happened to be both then that was just plain luck. Mtv was the start of making it NOT about the music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Virtuosity isn't everything though is it? I think what's really lacking now is ideas and imagination. You have loads of people who can probably play technically as well as Hendrix, but will never be as exciting or original. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People in the 60s/70s were far superior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh shut up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, ideas and imagination combined with Virtuosity . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 60's and 70's were all about rebelling in every way. So, maybe that's why the broke ground on so many things back then |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that song is really great.. thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but he's hardly made any good tunes, 1 or 2 yes but he's such a doddering old fart if he's god then his son was jesus? |
||||||||
|

Never cared that much for Clapton's actual guitar work, but he has been involved with some great groups and songwriters. Props. His solo was the worst part of While My Guitar Gently Weeps though. |
||||||||

guitars have been done let's not go back to them stick to hendrix, spanish classical, death metal, funk rhythm hooks and move on to TECHNO (in the original sense of the word) Music composition should start with the composition of sound -before any rhythm/melody/harmony or god forbid lyrics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I mean it's not like Clapton can do anything you couldn't have done. It's just drive, ambition, practice and motivation - he wasn't born good at playing guitar, it isn't genetic. It really depends on how interested you are in doing something, if you are completely obsessed by playing an instrument or doing practically anything in life then chances are you will be better than 99% of other people who aren't so obsessed about it. It's just that the vast majority of people cannot be bothered to utterly devote their lives to one thing in particular. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In the physical sphere you can be genetically advantaged over others, but playing guitar doesn't enter into that category. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but that video proves eric clapton is better than any of us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

How do you account for people born with what seems to be innate musical talent, i.e., children who can compose or play instruments at very early ages? Mozart wrote his first symphony before his ninth birthday. Yes, he was a rare case and I don't expect that everyone would be born with that level of ability, but I think some people's brains seem to be configured or "wired" for a certain skill. In this case I would say that genetics has a fair bit to do with it. |
||||||||

|
|
well you see the soul of an old time blues man entered eric claptons body and thus gave him his supernatural ability to wank a guitar |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i guess the slash one is my favorite |
||||||||

Mr Clapton, come down to the station house, your son is dead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WOw there are too many to count Dimebag R.I.P for one. Morello from R.A.T.M/Audioslave |
||||||||

Carlos Santana blows... his shit is sooo Repetitive. His style is not even good anymore. Jose Feliciano is blind and still rips better than Santana |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohhh real nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate santana, don't people recognise cliche's? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
abraxas and caravanserai are important and good albums, in my opinion. His style is a bit boring after a while, but in the early days, he wrote some bloody good tunes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree :) |
||||||||
|
|

Hi son fell off a balcony and died, so technically he could still be Jesus, but only if he returns. |

clapton might be the guitar god but in terms of melodies/tracks writing & records (all things that matters), he's not very good. the layla track is brillant but the others ones.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha he plays the guitar like he is wanking |
