Just stumbled across this on craigslist. I can tell if this guy is one of the worst or one of the best player I ever heard.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=SYsfSeVUdmk |

And just for the record, I didn't mean any disrespect here - actually wanted to give the guy some exposure for anyone who does like this sort of thing. I WAS seriously confused by his playing though. I don't aspire to be that kind of player, but kudos to the guys who put the hours and work in to be able to do that. I really hate the fact that we can't delete threads anymore. Makes me not want to post anything here. I often rethink my posts 5 minutes after I post them. :/ |

Not sure if this cat's intonation is really that 'spot on' (  ), sense of rhythm is interesting and WOW thats a bunch of strangs for an EUB. Other than that, I think that I'm just as confused about this video clip as you are. |

Seriously though, that guy sounds incredible at times, then it sounds like he's just goofing around. Confusing indeed... |

Rodrigo was cool too.
He played all the notes.
Ray only plays the good ones.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
