I would appreciate you not posting these kinds of videos in the future. I generally only allow my hopes and dreams to be crushed by family and friends, not by my fellow board members. :lol:

Wunderkinds are overrated. I mean they should be appreciated, but not used as a measuring stick by which we measure our success. I gave up on Piano for a time because piano virtuoso Glenn Gould had played all the Well Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach by age 10. I figured that at age 15, it really wasn't worth working at it anymore. Kind of a shame.

I've been taking this hoity-toity ethnomusicology class and we've been reading a lot about why western culture is so fixated on exceptional musicians. We really only care about the experts and we use their accomplishments as a measure of success. I mean why do we really play? Is it because we want people to recognize us or is it because we love it so much that we have to?

+1 While I love listening to music and can appreciate great artisty and musicianship, nobody replicates the sounds in my head better than me...and I'm actually getting better at it. I'd love to able to play like some these virtuosos, but it's not necessary in the interests of my self-expression. Hell, look at Keith: pure heart and soul!

Never give up. Many of those prodigies will become frustrated before they are 20! I've been at it for 36 years. I've gotten better, but will never be the best. It does not stop me from playing out, having a big time, relieving some stress, making the gals shake their fannies, and getting paid to do it.

I go through phases of not wanting to play and put in practice myself. It's usually just from laziness though :lol:

especially after listening to too much phish.

You know, if you ever feel down about your chops, you can give this a listen:

Oh, I can hear the protests already, He is a SINGER!!!! But he can't do that either.

The guy sounds like an American Idol Flunkee!!!! PITCH, Dude, PITCH!!!!

There is always Billie Joe Armstrong butchering Johnny B Goode but in his case, he wacks his instrument and sound comes out. The fact he has mastered the power chord means he can take massive bowel movements all over Fred Durst's vacuous gaping war wound which is located precisely where his technique should be. My brother wondered if Durst was TRYING to play the idiot but he discovered that with a tonne of effort, it was STILL impossible to sound that bad!

Always remember that unlike all the generations from the 90s onwards, WE can solo still! The only thing that depresses me is that Durst makes MONEY on music. He actually SOLD RECORDS!

 

[TOOLGUY]

Fred Durst,Vanilla Ice,Milli Vanilli all made exorbitant amounts of money singing/playing (ahem.. fake singing) music.
That depresses me more than a kid that can play like that.

 

[Scrapinger]

Yah but can he birddog chicks?!?!?!
