She is VERY good. Her attack is still a little too polite IMO. Needs more snot bubbles.
I was struck by Bob's "star" comment. It used to be someone that young, talented, and cute that, yeah, she was a prodigy and going places. These days I honestly doubt it. Not a comment on her abilities, just a comment on the current music biz.

Not a comment on her abilities, just a comment on the current music biz. There used to be a big mystery in learning to play guitar. You were lucky if you ever in your life stumbled upon someone who actually knew how the songs you heard on recordings were played and could teach that to you. There was nowhere to go to learn it. It was just the dumb luck of bumping into the right person. Or you could sit in your room and lift the needle off the record and replay a part until you got it...which you still might not. And most people didn't do that because, not only was it laborious -- it far from guaranteed success. I would venture to say that I was probably in my 40s before I ever met an amateur guitar player who knew how to play a song as it was played on a recording. In the case of every guitar player I ever bumped into, they were just like me. If they played a song that I knew from a recording, they played it in a way they figured out that sort of approximated the recording. And it wasn't an aesthetic or creative choice to do so -- they, as I, simply didn't know how to play the song "right". Now, any song you ever wanted to learn you can learn by watching the fingers of some 16 year old guitar player on youtube. |

I'm reminded of the time(s) you and I played JT songs together -- completely different fingering in many parts, but still sounding good when blended.

A Robert Johnson number played on a megabuck Petros guitar. Yeah. That seems strange; the Petros, I mean. A fancy guitar played in slide blues, with a piezo pickup. Like, why bother with a fancy guitar? But she does play the genre well. |
