Talking with some of my youngest students (8-17 years old), they told me that they're the only ones who play an instrument between their classmates.
When I was in the high-school I had a lot of friends to play with. Luckily some of us are doing music or other arts as a living, right now. So I was wondering what happens around the world. Are kids still interested to play an instrument like in the past? During the 80's we had a lot of guitar players (with strange haircuts  ) also on mainstream bands, on MTV and so on. Guitar solos are slowly disappeared during the years, the nu-metal came...Of course you can use YouTube and the Net to find everything. But for my ears it's quite strange when someone discover a great guitar player using Guitar Hero   -------------------- ::: Main Gear ::: Guitars: Washburn N4 Vintage | Washburn N2 | Washburn WI67Pro | Washburn WG-587 | Washburn EA20B Amps: Laney GH50L (head) | Laney GS410 & GS212IE (cabinets) | Rocktron PROGAP Ultra (rack preamp) | Rocktron Velocity 150 (power amp) | Marshall VS230 (combo) FXs: Rocktron Intellifex + custom pedalboard (check my video demo) Other: Shredneck | Intellitouch PT10 tuner Picks: Esseti Picks Software & Recording Gear: Cubase 4 | Overloud TH1 | Mackie Onyx 400F | EZdrummer | Korg Pandora PX4D ------------------------------------------------------- myspace.com/jerryarcidiacono Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
