  • When I see something like this I am absolutely amazed at the ability and dexterity of some guitarists and yet...

    I know I`ll piss a lot of people off by saying this but ultimately what are we witnessing? The result of endless hours of practice but I always end up thinking, where is the music? Where is the feeling? Who benefits most? The performer or the listener?

    It might as well be a circus act.

  • @PhilipPorter Life is complicated enough without complicating music as well.

    The video pretty much IS a circus act. That is the idea of the whole 'betcha can't play this'.

    Enjoy it for what it is, not for what it isn't.

  • @hbkfan3 Trololololololo

  • @PhilipPorter Isn't that the idea? Look at the name of the video. He's playing something technically advanced that most people can't play. He's not trying to play musically. Look up his song "Evangel" on youtube and think again.

  • jesus...........talk about pentatonic arpegios

  • @hbkfan3 jealous fag... haha!

  • @marsigbin Well good for you!!!

    It would be nice if you could post a video and give people the benefit of your improvisations and ideas.

    If you don`t want to do that you could learn some netiquette.

  • @PhilipPorter well he did not perform this just to solely please you, didnt he? its not his, or our problem as musicians for that matter, if you or someone else may benefit something from what we do or not. we just somehow enjoy what we are doing. I could so say because i was able to pull off what he just did, and was able to made some improvisations and figured out ideas that branched out of it. you sir is just a frustrated bitch, who doesnt have the balls for dedications.

  • Yes, you're definitely fucking right. I can't play that.

  • @PhilipPorter remember that music, apart from being an art form, has always been used fot entertainment, and to bring joy, amazement, and good feelings, whatever emotion you want, playing a blues with feeling and tasty phrasing (which is a whole ohter topic, intention, blabla and it´s awesome too, of course) is not the only thing in the world as many guitarist think, coolness in music, is great too. Listen to Tommy Emmanuel and you can see a mix of an incredible guitarist and super showmanship

  • I like how all the Betcha Can't Play This videos always sound better slowed down lol.

    But, your Evangel song is sick, love it.
