I noticed that there's a lot of bassist here at TB who are quick to bash, attempt to discredit, search for a fight(because they may have issues with a fellow TBer),not able to admit that they don't under stand certain questions, always criticizing, etc.
If you're so quick to do these things why aren't you so quick to put up some of your own work for others to hear? especially those that you attack.
Where is the music? |

TB seems to be getting close to being worse than Youtube. |

You know I don't like it for a reason, why would I spend years studying it just to prove I dislike it.
I actually like some Jazz, but that was the easiest way to make my point.

Instead of slamming other players we should be glad that people are out there making music and contributing something positive to the world. There is always going to be somebody better or faster. Some guys will be mediocre players their whole lives but at least they are playing. Both my kids (girls) are now playing multiple instruments at ages 7 & 9 and I know that it will help make them well rounded adults. Music improves life play on!!! |

It's not about what type of music we play and again opinions are welcome from most of us here but bashing because they have some personal agenda says a lot about them. Quote:

It looks like people are posting their stuff to this thread, so I added some links in my previous post. |

Where is the music? | Truly curious, Jauqo - do you have to be a world-class chef to say that some prepared dish does not appeal to you? Do you have to be a vintner/degreed oenologist to say that a certain wine tastes like vinegar?
Why should someone be required to be a skilled musician to say that he doesn't like someone else's music, or that a musician is not credible, or have the right to criticize the music?
There are plenty of legitimate critics for all sorts of topics without personal skill in those areas. That doesn't mean they're wrong in what they say. Everyone has an opinion on everything and everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion... That's what so great about forums like Talkbass

Some of my playing sucks (not brutal though) and the tempo is suspect. But I like the tunes (Isn't that what matters?). |
