I can appreciate that. I guess it's not my favorite thing and I just don't have a palette for it. I was looking at some of his Santana stuff and pre-Steve Perry jazzy-rock stuff. His playing there makes a lot more sense.Mr. Perfect wrote:The genius of Neal Schon cannot be contained in one post, I think a thread would be in order. Suffice it to say his playing in Journey became subservient to Steve Perry because his voice was selling records, but if you listen to the fills in the background, oh my.
As a guitar player I can tell you that "shredding" is mostly trickery, there are cheater ways to play fast and make it sound complex, but it's really simple. Except for a few people. When you try to learn there stuff you will see that their is simply no shortcut, they thought up the notes and there is only one way to play them. Neal is one of the few.
Take a listen. This is a solo jam section in the beginning that you may or may not care for, but very few people in the world can actually perform and it's all logical and makes sense musically, and Neal can pull them out at the drop of a hat and has been able to do so since a teenager. He is truly a musician few can be compared to. Even the SIL solos are great.

Overall though, shredding (like you said) is mostly trickery and done poorly or superfluously. Eddie Van Halen incorporated it well; but he's one of a kind and I'm not a huge Van Halen fan either.
Now David Gilmour is some rock guitar stuff I can get behind. Much more interesting to me.
I wish I could share some of the stuff I'm working on right now. My guitarist right now is pretty unique. Think Gilmour with a lot more of a surf rock/Ventures influence.

To reiterate, shredding is a combination of tricks and really hard stuff. In Eruption there are things that I can teach someone who has never touched a guitar before in one lesson and other stuff that would take years to play right, if ever. So it's a discerning thing.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote: I can appreciate that. I guess it's not my favorite thing and I just don't have a palette for it.

A big part of music simply comes down to taste and preferences, there is little for arguing that.Now David Gilmour is some rock guitar stuff I can get behind. Much more interesting to me.

Il primo amore - Marianna Martines (1744-1812) ; Nuria Rial, soprano ; La Floridiana directed by Nicoletta Parschivescu

Be patient with the recitative, lasting just over a minute, and listen in amazement to the aria Sol che un istante:
There weren't that many women composers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but there were some. Marianna Martines is one outstanding example.

I have only to glimpse
my beautiful enemy,
and I feel the sweet flame
of days gone by flicker in my breast.
I yearn for her again,
I die for the love of her,
I worship my destiny
in my beloved's eyes.
