My pleas for samples are simply to prove the rule: If you can play, who gives a poo poo what you play through? In other words, the fallacy behind this loving abortion of a discussion thread. hth Schpyder posted:Faustus.

Dr. Faustus posted:Not at all, I am merely curious: Because the thread started out about ugly instruments (like yours), not music. Good musicians hate on gear, just like good computer scientists hate on hardware, or artists on artwork. If you don't know what lovely is, then you have no baseline for calling anything good. Also, no one is ever going to agree to your request because we have better things to do with our lives than prove to an old autist that we have the ability to play an instrument, so that you can masturbate over why you think you're better. e: Sleepflower posted:Please see a psychiatrist, or at least a psychologist.

Faustus. Faustus. Skill is in no way a prerequisite for criticism. Particularly aesthetic criticism. Film critics are usually not accomplished filmmakers. Music critics are not usually accomplished musicians. Art critics are usually not accomplished artists. Suggesting that criticism is invalidated because the critic is not accomplished in the field being criticized is a losing proposition every time. I mean, it's not like we're saying JEMs are BAD guitars, they're actually fantastic to play. They're just (IMO) ugly and harken back to the worst excesses of deplorable 80's style. It's kind of like DeWalt power tools. They're pretty darn good at being actual tools, but I think they look kinda dumb, like Stryper in impact drill form.

You can have all the opinions of "aesthetics" you like, but too much of this is just  bullshit.Musicians buy the tools that they need to make their music. Yes? Those tools might look unattractive to you. Yes? But have I ever put down a musician because their guitar was ugly to me? No. That's just one of the reasons why this thread is so stupid. Another reason is that you idiots can't stop responding to me. Quit derailing the thread. Post some ugly guitars (even mine, I'll provide the hosting). And yeah, call me a snob but if you can't play anything more technical than "Wish You Were Here" or "Closer To Fine" then you should probably reassess your opinions about guitars. Anything else?

Dr. Faustus posted:But have I ever put down a musician because their guitar was ugly to me? No. finally conclusive proof that the reason faustus is so autistic because he actually thinks calling a dude's guitars ugly is a personal attack. quote:And yeah, call me a snob but if you can't play anything more technical than "Wish You Were Here" or "Closer To Fine" then you should probably reassess your opinions about guitars. just personally i dont give a poo poo if the dude calling my guitar a piece of poo poo is joe pass or some kid who wouldn't know a 13th chord if it bit him on the foreskin. it wouldn't bother me either way because i'm not comically insecure.

Dirt posted:Has Faustus ever posted any clips showing off his guitar skills? Oops, forgot the ugly guitars:   Recorded on my Dell laptop with Amplitube 3 Fender and the Spector Legend 5 Classic bass, VT Bass pedal, drums I programmed using Toontrack EZ Drummer. It was the intro to an SRV tune meant to test the recording setup: http://tindeck.com/listen/mpih This one is the same guitar, but the backing track (rhythm guitar, drums, bass) were provided by a friend from the Musician's Lounge who wanted a solo display. Any instrument would be allowable, but we didn't have awesome hosting like Tindeck back then so it fizzled: http://tindeck.com/listen/clxa This is a messy but still worthy (I think) version of Joe Satriani's live performance of "Memories," from the Dreaming #11 EP. I took my RG770DX but played through a patch I wrote in my bassist's Rocktron Chameleon, so if it sounds a bit solid state... well, it is.  http://tindeck.com/listen/mghk Peace.
