You're right - I don't have any clips. Classical guitarists are not as testosterone filled as you guys and we don't feel the need to show off on the internet. If we want to tell the world that we've got chops, we'll go win the GFA. And also, I see that your post was an attempt to provoke the mods to...

You all make amazingly ungrounded asumptions. It seems that I am not as threatened by shred as you all are at music other than shred. This seems to be why at every mention of any other style of music you all ration that I am a novice. You and Miles_Coltrane have gotten nothing done. Miles is trying ...

You still don't understand. I have not dogged any question. I have explained to you that your desire for a video is irrational and can in no way settle anything in this dispute. You are looking for a reason to put me down because you have failed to settle any arguments with your words. Since you hav...

When that it all that you have left to say in your defense, it becomes clear who has won the argument.

The MAB comment may have been misinformed, I'll admit. Insert the name of almost any other shredder and it's point will become clear.

That joke wasn't funny when YB said it. What made you think that you could make it work. People like you have no business in this argument. As far as I'm concerned, this is between YB, ShyBoy, and myself. You kids with only one or two posts to your name should stay out. between the 3 of us, we have ...

I am aware of this. Thank you anyway.

You're wasting your time writing this. I know you don't actually get it, because truly understanding it is loving it. This is rediculious. I understand what happened in the Holocaust, but I do not, by any means, love it. The same applys to music or anything else. I can be a math major in college an...

Also, mature is a horrible word to use in this situation. Mature would be listening and just saying whether you like it or not, and being open about it. Two of my instructors at Berklee regularly listen to shred, and one of them is a jazz guy - Tim Miller, the other a funk guy - Chris Buono. They m...

To Miles_Coltrane: You are making an assumption that I can't play. You have never heard me. You assume that I can't play fast because I dislike the shreding in the video. This is incorrect and a terrible use of logic. I will not put a video of myself on this website because I do not feel that it is ...

Oh wow, you really got me there

This is probably another one of those times when you've thought you were clever, looked for someone to slap hands with, and then realized that the only thing that you are close to in this world is the bottle of lotion located to the right of your computer.

What bugs me: Double bass plays octave lower than Bass Clef hence DOUBLE BASS !BUT!why is the stave the same as the higher Normal Bass Clef.....ie...notes are differnt on Treble Clef and Bass Clef, but notes are same on Bass and Dbl Bass clef, arent they all supposed to be in-line with each other? ...

I see we're still distracting you from your work.

You have said this twice and it hasn't been funny either time.

It just so happens that I was practicing and then had a massive amount of homework to do, but thank you for discrediting me and thinking that I could no longer hold my own.

Technical complexity can very easily translate into beauty if done correctly. I do not think that Cooley is the correct use of technicality. You can come to my school and ask the cellists about the technical complexity of Beethoven's 9th Symphony and you'll probably find that they have plenty to say...
