Kris i got your point but still we are not only talking about the Playing Skills but also about composing, right?
Because the technique stuff is obvious - you have to practice no matter what. Composing is something completely different. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Jan 21 2007, 07:05 PM)  I personally believe that the ability to come with melodies, arrangments, riffs (etc.) is related to how much you have actively listened to music...  True, in writing songs i sometimes hear just the pieces of songs i heard somewhere. It's always like that at the beginning but the more you try to compose the faster you'll develop your own style. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Whilst talking about Beethoven et al, think about this.
Music was their entire life. Today we have so many more distractions such as TV - an unbelievably wide choice of musical "styles", we have so much more "life" to live than they did. Our brains have to absorb so much more "stuff". Imagine being restricted to a very limited pallette of music, living and breathing it and very little way of actually distributing music once it was written. Whilst what they did is considered "genius" and is, and I dont want to suggest anything less, but I am thinking that while they are "named" as the sole writers of there music I am sure they would have had lots of help from actual musicians, who were often "illiterate" and so could not physically write music down. How many musical ideas did they get that way? At the time they wrote music, there was little other written music around, so they were innovators in that they were able to publish music for the first time, no one could say that it was not original music. Now of course, its almost impossible to write something truly original and different to what has already been written - I mean, how many combinations are there for 12 notes !!! and it only takes moments now for someone in the world to say "I already did that"... Again, I dont want this to come accross as "beethoven was shit" because clearly thats not the case, and I am sure there is much more of a case for genius than the drivel I have written here. I am just suggesting there is food for thought about the "time" "situation" and "availability" of music at the time. -------------------- its not easy

Interesting musical discussion and controversy. Funny how it started with gear talk over a new 2007 version signature series guitar!

No problem Kris! I'm always amazed how any Yngwie subject matter takes off with a life of its own. You either love him or hate him. It's hard to find any middle ground.

I first heard his Rising Force album when a co-worker lent me a cassette tape of it in 1985. I've been a fan ever since and I'm 47 years old! I haven't bothered with any of the clones out there.
Also, I heard that the new 2007 version of Yngwie's signature Strat should be out on the market in the next 2-3 months. I'll try to get verification of that from the source. Steve...
