Obviously the greatest masters such as Beethoven, Bach and Mozart combined both; technique and emotion. Your saying that emotional content is not synonymous with good music is open to debate and to state that whether music moves you or not is irrelevant is a strange statement to make. If someone said that out of the four key elements of music; melody, harmony, counterpoint and tempo one was irrelevant it would at best be a rather contentious view.
Emotional contente is very poor! When are all you people going to understand that pyrotechnical displays of speed no matter how impressive in terms of technique are not synonymous with good music...two notes BB King are worth all these hundreds of notes...remember what Saliery said: "Too many notes" ha ha ha ha
@NeuxyzPRAWNZ Agreed 100%. When somebody listens to fast passages and the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "all speed, no emotion", I immediately recognize them as a retard.
@cgDominic yeah you sure hear it =P I saw a video last week where petrucci talks about morse and his prefference for alternate picking instead of sweeping and taking a lot of ideas from morse... i believe petrucci gets his "non-clean" stuff from morse too hehehe both can do pretty stuff while playing in a really dirty way
my step dad saw him live. he said that steve did the thing where you lay something down, hit a button and it woould keep playing it over again(srry dont remember what its called). but he did it like seven times, then he picked up a electric violin and played that. and the whole time the crowd was completely silent cuz they couldnt comprehend all of it.
@CurbsideLife And who is better....I suppose you're gonna say Vai or Van Halen? The beauty of Steve Morse is not just his incredible talent but his reluctance to shred the hell out of the guitar at every turn. Steve Morse is THEE best....bar none!
Definitely the best guitar player on the planet! This guys picks every note in an arpeggio! No sweep cheating here...damn! Amazing sense of timing and precision. Makes me wanna burn my guitar! Love Di Meola and McLaughin too, but Morse is INSANE! Band is happening too!
I would love to get decked by steve morse at least once in the face before I die, the first time I seen him I felt like I got punched in the face, I just want a real punch.haha
@laerti No - he was kicked out of HIGH school for refusing to cut his hair. Then he went to U of Miami music school. He was there vabout the same time as Metheny and Jaco.
I saw him do this in 1989 at the Living Room in Providence. I had this good guitar player from my friends band come out to see him. When they played this song, he was sold!
Obviously God can't play the guitar and compose songs like the MIRACLES by the mighty Steve. Nobody can play like Jaco Pastorius, nobody can play Guitar like Steve Morse. This is not disputed.
Yeah, okay. I'm going to chop up my guitar and use it for firewood. What's the point? He's not from this planet. One day he's going to pull off his mask and reveal that he's an alien from another galaxy. Nice camera work, by the way. I find the mtv-style of half second jump cuts maddening.
What seperates Steve from the rest of the pack (malmsteen, satriani, etc), is his abliity to alternate pick everything he does! No sweeps on these arpeggios and very few hammer ons-pull offs. This guys is the Master!
That song you're refering too is called "The Finish Line", first off. Second, Tumeni Notes came out almost 10 years before that song, so Batio would be ripping off Morse's sound, not the other way around...
Steve Morse is one of my all-time favourite guitarists. I haven't checked him out in a couple of years, and his ability amazes me as much now as it did 3-4 years ago.
However, I didn't like the hyoooge delay effect he used here.
hey can someone please tell me how can i get the palm mutting sound he has at the intro. If i mute my strings, it doesnt sound that sharp like steve. Or did he even mute his strings while playing the intro? or is the treble set to really high? im really new at guitar here but keen to learn it. Hows the amount of settings for his distortions,bass,treble, mid, all these kinda things? Could someone good please help me? I am using a les paul btw =)
He is using palm muting. Just lay the heel of your hand gently on the strings at the bridge.
In the intro he is using fairly little distortion/gain. The treble isn't particularly high, you can set the EQ to taste because it will always be different because you have a les paul, try using the bridge pickup( or both together) and hit the strings fairly hard.
This was right after Steve had taken some time off to become a commercial pilot. Take a look at the cover of "High Tension Wires," and you'll see his hair even shorter. Luckily he's now making enough that he won't have to do anything crazy like cutting his hair short again.
Steve Morse!! 5 times voted Best Overall Guitarist!!! Technically perfect. He has all, technique, melody, rhythm. Strong use of chromatic scales. His influences go far beyond rock only. Respect!!!
oh i see. but how does he must the distortion sound so clean? i mean there're parts where he has to pick arpeggios when the 3 or more notes are gonna ring and sound like a chord. but i dont hear that in him.
well, his picking is really unique along with it's sound, and he is capable of playing with alternate picking really complex arpeggios that normaly would be played with sweep picking. And playing those arpeggios clean, is just a matter of practice, I've tried some of that myself, if u want, check out my vids, but off course, nothing like the great steve!
Can't wait till tomorrow nite (1/20/2012) I'll be two feet from Dave watching them haul ass in Southern California at The Coach House!
