Great stuff. I really like the motivic development and the way you build energy. Great sound and production, comping, the whole package.

This is really inspiring. The tone is intriguing-a little Pat Metheny playing clean maybe? Played so cleanly, ideas developing, really nice. Originally Posted by Marshall535

I make last post on page 2 Peter C #100. So we're on page 3 now. Yours is #104, this one's #105.

On tapatalk now. Good lord, is this a horrible, clunky, sack of shit app.

Mr. B,
Now tell us how you really feel
I still have a flip phone. Don't call me a hipster... call me a flipster
Technology frustrates me more than I can count. Odd isn't it, that I use an internet forum yet hate how tech has this grip on everyone's lives?

Dear guitar players,
I really like this place where you can show your possibilities and the current state of the guitar form.
I practise 7-8 hours a day. Perhaps the difficult time Covid has made me comment on other performers too emotionally at times.
Consequently, I am misunderstood.
I deleted all entries and no longer wanted to participate in the virtual jam.
I had no intention of offending or demeaning anyone.
If someone took it that way, I'm sorry
Good luck with your music

Don't know then. Weird that it's not working on one computer/device but it's okay on others. Which means it's not, presumably, something for Dirk unless, being a techie, he can diagnose the problem remote. Or somebody else can. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

Hey Kris... Don't let the BS be your reason for not posting or whatever you do. We are what we are....
I haven't read your posts, but who cares if not everyone understands or agrees with you. I would guess most know your a great musician as well as a good person. Check back in, I haven't played or touched an instrument for at least 6 months, I really don't practice anyway, just no gigs etc... I'll post something later... I'll try and make interesting.

I can understand and respect that. Originally Posted by kris

Looking forward to hearing Reg.

Please do not make a scandal with my decision. I suggest you listen to F. Zappa. Originally Posted by Peter C

Kris, you got me to scat a little--that was fun.
Bygones be bygones? C19 has got me on edge as well.
Thread works best when we pay more and talk less--I think, at least.
So lets all keep on keeping on with the playing

It might be worth reviewing the text of the very first post for the first tune, Whisper Not.
"The goal here is to improvise. Take a chorus or 3. Play with a track, or not. Don't overthink it. Everybody's cool here, and if they're not, we kick their ass out.
If you want comments and criticism on your playing, say so in your post. If someone doesn't ask for critique, don't critique their playing.
Keep it fresh. Don't spend all week working out a perfect chord melody. No need to play the melody at all. Let's just say its a given that knowing the melody is important.
Let's talk shop on the tune as we go. Talk about approaches, whatever. Ask players questions.
I'll start us off this week, ill try and post a new tune every Thursday night (yeah, I put Friday's date, it is Friday already in Belgium)
Have fun with this and keep it loose. All levels welcome. Make fun of a beginner and I'll harass you on every post you make here for the rest of your sad, pathetic life.
Here's one bluesy chorus on whisper not. Comments and criticism always welcome."

I think a lot of musicians feel this way: "I think I suck. I'd just as soon not hear it from anybody else."
But, I'm going to attempt a more serious comment.
Everybody that has posted a recording has clearly spent a lot of time, effort and soul invested in the guitar.
Artists tend to be sensitive about their art, because it is so close to the artist's heart.
All of us are musicians at different levels. All of us have the goal of expressing something thru music -- and what that is, is personal.
Even when feedback is actively solicited, it's not an easy thing to provide in a helpful way. How do I know what the player was really trying to do? How he or she wants to sound? What might possibly further the player's development?
And, then, there's the issue of providing specific comments. When I think about doing so, the following sorts of comments cross my mind -- things that might have been said in the past ...
"Hey Wes, how about you learn to use a F**** pick already?"
"Charlie Downstroke Christian, you're aware that the pick also moves up, right?"
"Jim Hall -- let's hear some Cherokee at 300 and no more of that sensitive crap".
"Joe Pass, why don't you spend a buck and travel with a bass player?"
"(insert outside player name here) are you intending to sound like crap, or are those just ordinary clams?"
As a result of such thoughts, and the vagaries of taste (there are a few highly regarded albums that I don't like much, suggesting a peculiar palette, perhaps), I tend to comment on what I like about a recording.
EDIT: It also occurs to me that a lot of the most helpful feedback I ever got was extremely painful at the time. Hopefully, that's not true of everybody.Last edited by rpjazzguitar; 02-16-2021 at 03:16 AM.

To me, it's simple. All my stuff is crap and anybody who says otherwise is an IDIOT!
I want Trump back too. God, I love that man.

When it comes to criticism i am slowly learning to give it only when paid to do so. Or at least asked. Originally Posted by kris

For those that seek out feedback, I have to say, well done.
-
I rarely ever get honest feedback on anything I post. You'd swear I was a world class player.
I figure either I really suck and people are just being nice
I'm somehow intimidating and people don't want to pass me off.
Or three,im generally nice to people so people are nice back. Maybe I should be more of a dick, for my playing sake.

What's not to like?
