Question:
you all sat music is something people should love, music should be, and surley, so whould all our opinions. if someone sees the beauty of music as playing a super fast death metal song, then fine, if someone sees it as playing a Bach piece, then fine. whatever, we are all here on thsi group because we are all musicians, because we all play, varied styles. take something form every player, we all have something unique, and it can be used. — The Thorn Within I’m the man who came to dinner, said I wasnt stopping long I brought a present warpped in misery and a bottle of sad songs.

it’s not money that makes a great player, it’s skill. i know someone, he can play guitar on an old knackerd spanish accoustic, and it sounds BRILLANT. he can play because he’s good, not because he plays on expensive guiatars. — The Thorn Within I’m the man who came to dinner, said I wasnt stopping long I brought a present warpped in misery and a bottle of sad songs.

Hear, hear! At last, a valid point! Everyone is entitled to enjoy music at the level they themselves choose! I myself make a living playing music the "snobbery" way. (I know theory, read, don’t use TAB etc) However, I appreciate the fact that most people play music as a hobby. The first post in this thread is a major setback for everyone on this group! Let’s forget about it! The most important thing is the end result : the music!! Forget this lame "Tab vs notation" "pro vs amateur" thing! Let’s stand united! I have learned things from so called lesser players than me, as I am sure the so called lesser players have learned from me! My 2 cents Frode Berg Oslo, Norway
