a lot of people develop the bad habit of finding tabs on the internet instead of learning songs by ear? Only thing I can think of. |

Evolucian, I'm still waiting for you to post a video in this thread that showcases Robert Fripp.

AWACS, if you read any of my posts you would have seen that I said you needed to do your own homework to discover it. There was even a hint in case things got too difficult. Ah well, so much for that. Good luck to you

That's pretty much what I was getting at and as someone pointed out people nowadays are more interested in learning someone else's solo note for note insted of improving there own lead skill. Yes people have always wanted to imitate their favorite artists but it has never been easier then now. People used to guess around a lot more. Obviously this doesn't apply to most people on the site but we kinda have a problem with the parrot zombie epidemic (IMO at least) I've seen people play very hard riffs songs etc but can't even tell me a few notes on the guitar or how to play along in the right key. I just thought it was an interesting thought because I know earlier on I was one of those parrots who could only play tabs I learned and didn't know any theory. Nowadays I try to learn songs by ear and rely on technology to a minimum but yes I still do use tabs I just don't think there in stone anymore. It may seem to make absolutely no sense to sone but I know for me personally the ability to type any song on ultimate guitar held me back, but that was my own negligence I guess.

...and you honestly believe guitarists in the 70s knew ANYTHING about music theory? Really now. People use guitar pro and transcribe to slow shit down and learn it now. Back then they used to play records on repeat and slow them down to pick out harder sections? What's different?

Well then, in my eyes, and after trying to listen to Epitaph by King Crimson, Tosin Abasi is a better guitarist and musician than Robert Fripp.

they actually had to use their ear. they might not have known that the interval was called a perfect fifth but the majority back then probably had a better ear of knowing how many frets two notes were away from each other better than people now.

Fair enough... let alone you chose something from 1969 from their debut album. Not bad for a first step, as you went right to the beginning. Of course I can't ask you to track their progress through time as you'd probably land up nuts but you'd definitely land up with a better musical knowledge and an omfg perspective. Thanks for playing  Sidenote - these two musicians are equal, and if they had to collaborate on something - it would probably be the scariest thing in the world to listen to. Considering what Fripp and Belew pulled off, Abasi and Fripp would be just as brilliant. Maybe bring Tony Levin back on bass and Marotta on skins. Sadly Fripp retired so we'll never ever know Last edited by evolucian : 03-08-2013 at 03:33 AM. |

I think you need to learn how to debate. You're pretty salty man.

I probably do, as I wasn't aware I was having a debate in the first place. A debate would not require the other member to first find something out then come back and continue. A few readers here would be aware of these two guitarists and by seeing a 'vs' placed between the two would probably have understood that there can't be a real comparison. Each one has totally unique aspects, whereas Fripp is one of the grandpappy's of the genre. One would obliterate the other in something, only to have the other one return the favour.

You chose Abasi, I said ok. Whatever you decided was your decision to make in the first place. I can't counter your decision because it wasn't mine. For one to learn about other musicians is a big step in one's growth, a step we all have to take. Sooooo.... thanks for playing Last edited by evolucian : 03-08-2013 at 04:12 AM. |

"after trying to listen to Epitaph..." You need to learn to argue too. You don't need to bash somebody to make your guitar idol look better (that's how Youtube arguments always go). That's just pathetic and IMO Epitaph is a great song, and it might not show that much of his guitar skills because it's not very guitar-driven music. They used lots of synths and wind instruments in the first album and the guitar parts are pretty simple and contribute to the music as a background instrument. I'm pretty sure both Tosin Abasi and Robert Fripp know what they are doing. Robert Fripp is considered as one of the best guitarists in the world. Though I'm not sure if you were bashing the song when you said you "tried to listen to it". It just gave me that kind of feeling, sorry if I misunderstood. But this is how I read what you wrote: "I tried to listen to it but it was crap. But I tried hard and listened to the whole song."
