This guy - regardless of the fact that he is a monster player, has underlined a great aspect which usually divides people into two categories:
- shredders - feeling players He says that there shouldn't be a line between the two... and guess what, HE IS RIGHT  Expression is a term that can encompass speed and accuracy and sloppiness and tear jerking lines as well - we are the only ones that can really fill up this broadness by practicing enough to always expand our abilities in respect to expression.http://www.guitarworld.com/inquirer_al_di_meola I do believe that everyone agrees, right?

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 6 2014, 02:35 AM)  With every word ... and I'm not even a 'chops' player. I have the technique I need to facilitate what I want to do (today ... tomorrow, maybe not - ?). When that need changes, evolves, advances (and it always does) - I work on what I need to work on to get there. I don't listen to Al too much anymore but I can tell you this ... when the RTF record 'Romantic Warrior' came out and then subsequently Al's solo record, 'Elegant Gypsy' ... the bar was considerably raised if you were an electric guitar player. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Al Di Meola surely is the man! This reminds me of another great aspect of music the master owns: rhythm
