A couple of comments even mention never seen or heard a ric played in that fashion...is that the abuse you speak of?  |

It was a pretty lame solo... and ripping off Stu Hamm, meh, do your own thing. But far from abuse.

Overall it's nice to see someone play a Ric like that.

I'm not trying to offend you, it's just a common mistake some people make.
It was incoherent. Throwing a heap of building materials together is not yet a house. You have to build up the groove. Keep little motives you start from and where you get back to.
You have the technique, just don't loose sight of that important part about musical instruments: music. There's a point beyond which virtuosity sacrifices musicality.
IMO and no hard feelings.

| | | | Well i'll give him credit, he's a hell of a lot faster than I am, but I wouldn't necessarily call that a solo....more like jacking around.

IMO and no hard feelings. | That was in no way virtuosity. His time was very bad, and the technique was silly and non-musical. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Helsinki, Finland | | All the Rics I've tried, including the one I own, have always been terrific for tapping. They are so light to play that it would be a shame not to tap on one.
The "solo" was quite boring, but I am not wondering at all why he wants to do tapping stuff on that instrument.
p.s. No, I can't tap, but I do try once in a while. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
