DAMN !  That's nice.  

Hope there's something they've done on some medium people can buy so they can afford to buy a few music stands. 

Really.  Thanks loads for posting this.

Each of them is very talented, but in all sincerity, I don’t know what I was listening to.  I suspect if I had that kind of talent I’d still play the kind of music I’ve been playing since Lee retreated from Gettysburg.

I think it was a tune called "Poro" from Isbin's  "Guitar Passions" CD.  Which I did wind up ordering.  Don't really know what you were trying to imply there with the "Lee retreated from Gettysburg."  bit.

Many classical musicians are levitating toward a fusion of new age and classic music. I think it's great as it introduces more people to both Classical and New Age music, 

There's more to life than the same old same old.

Not implying anything.  I said I’ve been playing the same kind of music for many years and even if I had their talent I’d still play the music I play.  Have no idea what you are implying.

[Whitefang]

Your wording made it seem you were critical of them not playing music that they may have been playing for years.  And the first part, "I don't know what I was listening to."  I provided a possible title of the number.   If you meant something otherwise I'm at a loss of what's behind that comment.  As for me, I knew I was listening to three very talented musicians play a well constructed and tightly presented piece of music.

They are all fine players but the music is a bit too busy for my taste.

I believe I said they were very talented.  I have no idea what they were playing,   If you’re looking for something behind that comment, keep looking and let me know if you find it.   I’m just saying it’s not  something I enjoy listening to.   That doesn’t make me right and someone else wrong.  All it means is that if I had their talent I’d still be playing the same kind of music I’ve been playing since Lee retreated from Gettysburg.   

[Mutha]

The implications are normally better around here.

[ksdaddy]

I’m not smart enough to listen to music like that. 

[Murph]

Music in a blender.

Annoying.

They were playing music.  I'm surprised you didn't recognize the Latin-Flamenco influence in the piece and the style in which it was played.  And you could have simply stated it wasn't your cup of tea without trying to fool us into thinking you were old enough to have been playing guitar since before 1863(when the battle of Gettysburg took place)    Yeah, I know what you meant by that,  Would be playing the same kind of music you've been playing all your life.  And if you looked into Ms. Isbin's and Mr. Lubambo's backgrounds you'd realize that's basically what THEY were doing.  Jordan is just another talent who stretches his legs musically(try it sometime Missouri,  you might like it) as classical and Latin flavor is just one of the many styles he's studied and played.  All his life.    Now maybe you can fathom what THIS guy is playing? (hint:  He played it all his life too)-----

Relax.  Calm down.  This is not worth being all worked-up over.  Family is, but not this.   Also, I don’t say “not my cup of tea.”   I just typically use street vernacular and say I don’t like it or something similar.   Has nothing to do with the talent of those doing what I don’t like.  ……..Also, hurts to  stretch my legs, because I’m an old guy who has been sitting here playing the music I like since Lee retreated from Gettysburg and besides, I can’t fathom why you are so upset.   ……I watched the video you provided and this guy is a superb guitar player.   He’s almost like  Roy Clark, Glen Campbell, or Chet Atkins.  Wish I was as talented as he is, but I’m not and I just don’t care about playing what he excels at.   I’m lucky enough to play what I play.     Beyond that , I’m not here to get in a pissing contest with anyone and if that’s what you’re after, you win, because I don’t care.  Life is too short for crap like this and that’s what this is.

[slimt]

I maybe dont like what I hear.  But it does lure folks into getting interested in music and guitars.   
 

what ever they add. Isnt a bad thing.    If I see some one trying a new chord. Im going to try it. 

[jaxson50]

I know what's lacking in this video,  every rocker knows you ain't good till you can make a  funny face, maybe jump around and scream and like your junk got caught in a rat trap. Man That's Talent!

Just pointing out something I shouldn't have to.  Like how stating you  didn't know what you were listening to makes you look stupid.  And I wasn't claiming you should have said "not my cup of teat" but suggesting you should have said you didn't like it in the first place. You know, use that "street vernacular"  you claim to typically use. 

And I know you can't be dumb enough to not realize "stretch your legs" in this case was a figure of speech.  Perhaps I should have used, "expand your horizons" instead.  Just like your "Lee retreated from Gettysburg"  is a figure of speech.  But would be more sensible to have referenced something more contemporary to your lifetime, which is basically the longest reach of your experience.   And you don't necessarily have to play any music you don't really like.  But it doesn't hurt you or anyone to like more different types of music than you have the talent to play.  And BTW;  If I had the talent any of the three in the OP have I might be able to play ALL of the music I like. 

And I'm not "all worked up" about anything.  But I do get a bit testy when anybody takes anything I post(which is in simple English) out of context.

Peace out

As Satchmo always said, " All music is folk music., all music  comes from the folks."

There are some forms of music I don't care for as well. Rap, Heavy Metal,  Techno,  but there have been a few times when some has reached my cranium and it  wasn't too  bad at all. 

But as soon as the screaming starts, I'm out!

I confess, young man, you’re likely right.  I ain’t real bright and there’s lots things that have made me look stupid….After all, I’ve been around since Lee retreated from Gettysburg…..And thank you for reiterating that I don’t have to play music I don’t care for…..and I don’t care if it don’t hurt me to play other music…I just don’t care to play it……BTW, I’m very relieved to hear that you are just “testy.”   And beyond all the bull crap——" I wish you and your family the very best in life.  Please don’t be “testy” with them.  It just ain’t worth it and family is all we’ve got………….…I bet if we ever meet face-to-face that we’ll laugh our asses off about this.

 1863???  

It's amazing you have the strength to type anything to this forum!  

But no worries.  My family(what's left of it) never does anything to get me "testy".  Besides, they take all their frustrations out on the fools on FaceBook.  And there's plenty on there to keep 'em busy.    And the best to you and yours too brother.   And I doubt that if we ever met face-to-face we'd laugh our asses off about this.  I'm already 'bout laughed out about it now.

Well, if they can't stand NOT getting along with people,  you'd figure instead of complaining they'd ask advice of how to get over that.

I’d laugh!  Sorry you wouldn’t.  Adios and take care.
