Nice toon, Barry. I liked the arrangement, sounds, variations, the lot really! You put a lot work into this, I can tell. Well done and thanks for sharing this.

Hey Bob.
Really not my taste...but, I found it uplifting.
Sort of free-bird meets some thin lizzy thing.
What I hated was the twiddling stuff (super fast scales), that always sounds tacky to me and lends nothing to the melody (which is what i'm all about), just my opinion. I usually dislike cheesy guitar harmonies (and you have them here in large wedges)...but again there's something engaging in the "tune" that goes beyond techniques. I would like to hear it stripped down a bit..in terms of playing.
Good thing you changed the title too (neil young would be turning in his...er...wherever he sleeps).
You should really check out Omar Lopez Rodrigeuz (if you haven't already)...twiddle "thang" but with a much darker edge;

I liked your track.
Really nice pace and rythmn with a simple yet moving progression underneath and a nice energetic melody. Good clear/solid production.
Really enjoyed the listen, thanks.
Mike.

Omar Lopez Rodriguez hmm.
Checked him out and checked him straight back in.
Don't think GnarlyBob has too much to learn from that guy.
Did you see my private message to you Bob?

Dear Oldswanner.
I guess that's why Omar is "one of the most influencial contemporary guitarists".Check out Mars Volta...the clip I posted was a bit in haste. Although not my fav player ever, really worth looking into...honestly.
His signature Ibanez is a tasty axe too.
Bob's song was good, but you can't compare....not taking anything away from Bob.
Jees, I know you're talking about technique...that's such a limited view.
Feel, expression, originality, energy, creativity, blah blah blah. Ha ha ha.
I challenge you to convert me...who's "good" in your world then?
Love Mike.

Ooops sorry, just checked out your website....we'll never agree...I'm a guitar teacher and an Art teacher (secondary school). My philosophy is slightly different.
i strongly believe technique is purely a foundation. Every "skill" can become something more, the whole can always be more than the sum of it's parts. Which you only seem to think applies to singing and songwriting????? What about writing original guitar parts? Mechanics?
Quote:
"Why the greatest players will elicit something above the norm when executing those same movements is a subject for debate, but one in which I would favour the explanation of superior mechanical technique rather than some God given gift. Areas in which I would take the other point of view are the “skills” of singing and songwriting, in which natural talent beats trained expertise every time."
