    This cost me my career as a rock player a long time ago. Most of these things are just too advanced for most guys out there (and the public) but are the one that makes me feel respect for myself as an artist. Thank you for bringing up all this great stuff out. Respect, Rick.

      @franciscolopezus 4 роки тому +2

      @Juan2003gtr I am mostly into 'classical' music, and, although I continue to be a musician, and compose (probably the reason about my mentality) my income came from my economic consulting practice, so I do not depend on music to survive. I admit that most time, I play this kind of advanced music in the 'inside,' albeit swallowing glass as I find the 'outside' intellectually boring. My guess is that, if one makes a living performing for the average public one must go for the least common denominator, nothing bad on that, it puts money n your bank account and food on the table.

    • @franciscolopezus
      @franciscolopezus 4 роки тому +3

      @john oboczky I played rock and their music but my real love always been classical music. Although this advanced music is not for most people, there are people who enjoy that artistry and there are people who live on it.

    • @franciscolopezus
      @franciscolopezus 4 роки тому +2

      @john oboczky Maybe I am not. That's why I became an economist fund manager and work in a non-musical career, in spite of my love for music. Still, I am very good at understanding marketing and can recognize market segments and can differentiate between what I want and what I can pragmatically get. Anything bugging you?

    • @franciscolopezus
      @franciscolopezus 4 роки тому +2

      @john oboczky Who knows, most of my life my IQ was a 180. While Right now, I'm composing a Mass. You seem to want to pick a fight, I have tons of friends, from all walks of life. I share many experiences with many people, from the homeless, I've been one, to the very wealthy (look at my profile on LinkedIn). I admire and respect Rick and others who share their knowledge and art here. Regarding success, your definition is very narrow. Let's say that Rick has many instructive videos and even if the individual viewership might not be large, the number of videos do the trick. Also, not all is about money.

    I really love a lot of your videos, I have learned a lot. I agree.with you that too much technical "showing off" can be distracting. However, the same can be said about players who try too hard to be original in their style. My favorite musical moments are when the musician(s) are in the zone, not thinking about techniques or theory, just playing with passion that the listener can feel.

    Rick It's interesting that you mentioned Holdsworth alongside Messiaen... usually Holdsworth is compared to Coltrane but I've always wondered if Holdsworth was influenced by the great french composer, my knowledge of theory is quite limited but their harmonic language has definitely similarities to my ears. Do you think you could make a video on this argument?

    • @samm5373
      @samm5373 4 роки тому

      It caught my attention too! I know both of them well and even played Messiaen whom I absolutely love! However, connecting these two masters never crossed my mind, although I can clearly see it now. Live and learn. :)

      He does that thing poor guitar teachers do where they go _"yeah you just have to play it like this"_ , then play something wildly fast and complex that the student doesn't understand and has no chance of playing

    I LOVE the approach, the thought process and the musicality. There is no one on UA-cam doing anything remotely as good as this! If I were to have one comment, it would be somewhat philosophical... I like to think holistically; that is, there must be a "song" or other musical context I like to consider before filling it with notes. I know we all love Steely Dan, and those great solo's always seemed to reflect what the song was trying to say; even if it seemed to come out of nowhere. Well, it's late on the 4th of July, and here I am. I'll leave it there. I love it all!

      My thoughts exactly. While Rick undoubtedly has great skill and knowledge these three runs don't do anything for me. It might be different in a song context but played on their own I find nothing inspiring or memorable about them - too many notes with too much delay in the guitar tone and too little dynamic content... probably a thing of personal preference.

    • @michaelwade9455
      @michaelwade9455 4 роки тому +1

      Missing the point. These are exercises, ideas to learn outside playing and the thought process behind it (from one very competent point of view). It the context of a song it could/would accent the melody adding more color. Depending on the player, the music and of course your personal taste, it might not be right for you but there is still plenty to take away, just the thought of reaching a bit to add color to your playing has value in and of itself. My 2 cents anyway, play on!!
