fuck his tone is lame. he over does the chorus.

[LukeDallert]

@anablaman I dont' think so, I like his tone.... maybe that's a question of taste...

[ConCarneBlues]

@anablaman You're not a real fan if you don't dig the tone.

[LukeDallert]

@ConCarneBlues yeah man, that's right!

@Asymmatrix I think the original is like a really good shot--mildness that leads to an explosion of energy and then euphoric ideas. I think Miles' version has an emotional narrative that Stern lacks, but it's not his composition, so that makes sense.

[LeonSpinx1]

Stern's tempo and tone are fine--way different from when he first played it w/ miles'. I prefer miles' version, but i also prefer slow build with the tonal and tempo changes leading to a climax rather than a brilliant solo moving around a theme. Miles did the former, Stern does the latter. Both are good, but personally, i find the solos distracting.

Mike Stern has been performing with the best musician on this planet since the early 70s. Before one is critical of him take a moment and see who he has been playing with for 40 + years. The only people he needs to impress are the ones who hire him and he has impressed the best!

@anablaman

Mike's tone is distinctive (and maybe a compromise). It enables him to segue from his love for Roy Buchanan/ Jimi Hendrix to the side of his playing that is more about Jim Hall/Pat Metheny. My advice, if you're willing: give the tone thing a chance, and don't allow it to get in the way of appreciating the soul, energy, emotion, inspired improv in his playing. If it is true, as some say, that an electric guitarist's tone is really in his fingers and heart - Mike's sounds like Mike.
