Thundergod Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Maybe it is a contest and we all just didn't get the memo. From the looks of it you have to agree with whoever posts in here, or else they will pile on you. I don't know why people act that way... a guy likes gary moore or steve vai, well if others don't I don't see why they have to be rude and start ****. If someone likes something you don't, good for him. I don't get all the bashing 'cause you don't like what I do or 'cause you like what I don't.

FirstMeasure Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Guitar Playing may not be a competition, but Performance is. Every time you take the stage you're competing with every other performer the audience has seen. You're competing with every other Performer the Venue Owner has hired. You're competing with the next Up and Coming performer that that Venue Owner comes in contact with. If you have an Agent, you're in competition with every other Client that Agent represents. If you're a recording Artist, you're in competition with every other Recording that may be played on the airwaves, or downloaded from an Online Marketplace. If you just want to entertain yourself, it's no competition at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I think it IS a competition, or should be...if only with (mostly) yourself. That's how you grow! Get complacent, and self-satisfied, and you stop progressing. The difference becomes, in whether or not, you'll allow yourself, to learn from the very people who might even intimidate you, playing wise. Or, if you just give up. A lot of what I hear, on this forum, and others, is (really) just envy (even jealousy) that comes out as criticism of the players they don't like, for one reason or another, as well as the praise, or even unrealistic "Hype," for those same players that they DO like. I'll never be a "Clapton," or "Hendrix," or SRV, etc...but, I can learn stuff, and have, from All... then incorporate it, to the best of my abilities/talents, into what I do. That, to me, is the more important factor. You can learn techniques and "licks" from any type music. Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I too am a believer in competition..... Probably why bands like the Beatles, Eagles and Styx were so damn good IMO..... I'm sure internally those band mates fought to see who's songs would make vinyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may be more competitive than they need to be, but we shouldn't make a sport out of an artistic expression. That may be lesson the more popular players have learned. Is there any doubt that BB King is one of our most cherished players? Yet he is not technically the "best" player in the world, I'm sure he knows this as well as anyone who has ever heard him and Segovia, but who sold the most records? Neither man (IMO) would concern himself with such trivial matters of the ego, they are driven by a greater passion then one upsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
