or unless your paco de lucia =D

what are you talking about? Williams, barrueco, and bream, will ALWAYS be references to new generations!

@guitalvaro Tienes mucha razón. Xuefei Yang, a pesar de tener muchas habilidades y de ser una de las mejores guitarristas del oriente, no se compara al nivel musical alcanzado por los guitarristas que tu has nombrado. Sin embargo, esto no le resta merito a los logros (musicales) que ha alcanzado.

when you have a musical argument to give (for example, how they treat the melodic lines, sound quality, technique, phrasing, voice leading, harmonic rythm, etc). The names I mentioned happened to be competition winners..there are many others who are not and still have this qualities.

Can you confidently state that those qualities are present here? i dont know..

[guitalvaro]

Interesting how your only argument is to be rude and state things you know nothing of (like my music listening habits...do you live with me or stalk me to know this?).

I never said that winning competitions gave you credentials to be "better", this is music, not sports.

The piano is a completely different story because they have some things that the guitar doesnt: More competition (theres much more pianists) and a tradition of quality.

"Make it"? who wants to make what?

[thejugglenaut91]

besides, you do realize marcin dylla is OLDER than xue fei.

The thing that you don't understand is that there is a massive world of BETTER musicians outside of the popular light. You know why? They don't debase themselves to competitions. Some people do no competitions whatsoever. Some do one or two to get their feet in the door. And then there are the so called more popular musicians who do nothing but that. The thing is, winning competitions has nothing to do with good music.

[thejugglenaut91]

no, no, no! You have got to be daft to think that someone like Marcin Dylla, or yourself, is better or even COMPARABLE to the likes of Julian bream or williams. Your initial analogy doesn't make sense at all by the way. Is Lang lang better than glenn gould for sake that he's newer? Absolutely not!

you think you're fucking god of the guitar but you're not shit. You're telling me all these names as if I didn't listen to them for ages. You're not going to make it with that bitchy attitude

[guitalvaro]

Again....check out the names i mentioned earlier...then please watch the great classical musicians of all time (barenboim, argerich, karajan, bernstein, rostropovitch, etc etc etc) ...and we'll see if you think the same
