I don't like to be that "old" man saying this.. but honestly this video is so clear.
The difference between the older guys (Satch, Vai, Paul) and the others when improvising is huge... don't you think so? One of my favorite parts of the video is how Paul enjoys Satch's jam. -------------------- My lessons

Yeah, but the level and caliber of 'real world' experience at this point is probably going to be unattainable for the others. The environment for it doesn't presently exist anymore. Nita Strauss played really well. The other young guys, not so much. I have no idea who they are - ?

Joe, Steve, Nina and Paul all have more stage presence, the Polyphia lads seem withdrawn, kinda how I'd be on stage.
This isn't a bad tune, the video is okay too https://youtu.be/7C19ZGLuhlQ -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Good observation, Polyphia guys may be much younger but they're a 10 year old band and released their first video 6 years ago. My guess is with todays production values, working on improvisation doesn't have the same importance as it used to. This is a very important point. Most of modern guitarists work a lot on their compositions and albums but not as much on improvisation and that's why there is a big contrast when comparing their original music with their jams. This is not a critique is a reality. Being a great improviser is as difficult and requires as much work as being a great composer, and if you want to be good at both you need to dedicate some practice to each. Guthrie is a KILLER improviser, but I don't think that his compositions are as interesting as things composed by Petrucci or Plini. What's your side? What do you enjoy more? Improvising or Composing/Producing? -------------------- My lessons

What's your side? What do you enjoy more? Improvising or Composing/Producing? I know that question was aimed a Mertay but I learnt last year just how hard improv is, I'm okay sticking to a single scale shape in the key signature but when it comes to following the chords I really really struggle. I think in many ways improv is harder than composition because it is basically composition on the fly in real time, it does get easier I guess but it is something that takes a lot of practise and a lot of licks in your mental library, something I struggle to recall when improvising. Back when I was a kid, I always thought improv was easy because "you just play what you want". How wrong was I?

I'd get up on stage and and go toe to toe with them, show 'em a thing or two, I've got some brilliant engineering licks and tricks, they may not be impressed but I'd show em a thing or two
Can anyone get up there with Paul/Steve/Satch and really go toe to toe? It would be tough. These guys are legends at doing exactly what they are doing at this gig and they have decades of experience doing it. Maybe in 30 years, the young dudes will be all over it, as the old guys will all be retired by then -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Eric Johnson and Scott Henderson can match them. Probably Guthrie Govan too ... but they don't play Ibbys 😆.

Old guy rant alert!
Maybe they're more comfortable but it just sounds like mindless, out of time wanking to me ... and a lot of questionable note choices. Nobody's playing rhythm. Not one friggin' chord. They're just waiting to play. No real interaction with the drums and bass either. That's not a 'jam'. May as well just have had a backing track. Yuck! Sorry but I draw the line at this amateur BS playing. *The dude with the ball cap is the only one that sort of knows where the time is and actually tells a little story. Ever have a conversation with someone who's just waiting to talk? That's what this is. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jan 26 2020, 10:32 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
