|
|
Hello Scott,
On the guitarwank podcast i heard you said everything from the Chick Corea's elektric band is commercial and lesser version of Corea's musical abilities.
I know the stuff that band did in the 80's did what you said but later that band did quite amazing things like the album To the stars. What do you think of that album? _________________ Plan like you are going to live forever, live like you are going to die tomorrow. |

I am 29 and i have been been a fan of you, Holdsworth and Scofield since i was 13.
I never got the courage to try and play that music because i thought that i would never be good enough to be more than mediocre at it.
I just stuck it out with rock/blues/metal.
When i heard you having doubts about how good your playing is sometimes i could not believe you have the same thoughts as the rest of us mortals.
By the way, you are so funny you could also be a stand up comedian. _________________ Plan like you are going to live forever, live like you are going to die tomorrow. |

I know I am busting chops.. IMO though, Chick hasn't made a great record since Three Quartets. A lot of that Elektric Band stuff is horrid and musicians of that caliber shouldn't be making music that bad. Some stuff from the first and third records are about all I can take of that stuff. |

You know what the saying is about opinions, right? |

Maybe i am a fool but some of the harmony on that record is incredible.
It's not like Zawinul's African pop records. _________________ Plan like you are going to live forever, live like you are going to die tomorrow. |

You're not a fool, you like it.
There's another a thread on here about Steve Khan and his Eyewitness stuff. That's more my thing.. though I am sure there are dubs and what not, those records come across as 4 guys in a room listening to each other. That chick stuff to me sounds like 5 guys who tracked memorized parts that they had to practice for a month, then tracked solos in the sections.
Again that'ts just me. |
