Well, i guess if Rusty Cooley is overrated - and the world barely even knows who he is, we can easily lock the topic because some members here are starting to directly offend other members and move away from facts and polite behavior. -------------------- "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 So basically there are good creators but not so so great technically and the amazingly technical but musically horrible. Thats just my opinion Yup, there are different styles of music, all-in-all. There's also different styles of guitar playing: Technical, Heavy, Slow/Soothing, Symphonic, etc. I'd have to say in my opinion, mixtures rarely happen and guitar players are normally strictly one-way. This is one debate that will never end, but is great to compete in, as it will never end. It's all based on opinion. I can't wait to hear other people's thoughts! EDIT: Fixed a few misspellings.

Ok, this was always going to be a contentious topic and I have been watching it closely.
It is ok to give your opinion in a respectful way about why you think a guitarist is overrated - after all it is your opinion and no one can take that away form you. However, every guitarist that someone hates, someone else reveres and we have to be respectful of that. Blanket statements to the effect of "Guitarist X totally sucks and his music is pure garbage" are BOUND to offend someone, so please be careful in your phrasing. The flip side of the coin is that every guitarist that someone reveres, someone else hates. If someone dislikes your favorite guitarist, that is not a personal insult, please don't take it as such as long as they are respectful and give their reasoning. Please lets keep this polite guys. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
