― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

One of my friends downloaded some Paul Gilbert videos, they're AWESOME. The background behind him keeps changing from the beach, to chicks cheering him on, etc. He spends 10 minutes on a lick that "isn't exactly in a time signature, but it's great if you want some really fast picking to show off."

I used to buy cheap drum vids from the sale bin at this one music store in high school, like Bobby Rock and Nick McBrain (which is intentionally HILARIOUS, I highly recommend it).

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I've watched it too, Jordan.

Now everytime at practice, I gently remind my drummer to balance the tip of his drumstick to the middle of the snare. Let it drop and bounce, drop and bounce.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:16 (twenty-one years ago)

And how many times has your gentle reminder gotten you a drumstick shoved up your ass?

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:13 (twenty-one years ago)

yknow, my music teacher once told me i played guitar like a girl.
so, maybe it is different. but he was kinda um, well.. mad.

A Robert Fripp guitar instructional video would r0x0r. Mr Fripp would undoubtedly fix the viewer w/a steely, studious glare, and regale him/her about the history of EG records, mixed in with factual corrections of his critics for 2 1/2 hrs. perhaps he will show you how to play a bit of "21st Century Schizoid man", or, perhaps he will spit on your foot, who knows?

― HI, YOUR BAND! (Mackro Mackro), Thursday, 13 November 2008 15:52 (seventeen years ago)

6-string bass dude is John Patitucci, not John Petrucci. One dude made famous by Chick Corea, the other by Dream Theatre.

Rocco Prestia's video is another one in the "doesn't suck" category.

I wonder if Robert Fripp would ever lower himself to making one of these. I can imagine how it'd go too. He'd be all stern and professorial.

― Trayce, Friday, 14 November 2008 04:58 (seventeen years ago)

Guitar Craft (GC) is a series of guitar and personal development classes, founded and often presented by Robert Fripp, who is best known for his work with King Crimson. The Introduction to Guitar Craft (2004) describes GC as three things:

* A way to develop a relationship with the guitar;
* A way to develop a relationship with music;
* A way to develop a relationship with oneself.

In the wider guitarist community, GC is best known for having introduced the New Standard Tuning, Fripp's term for the guitar tuning that came to him in 1983 (C, G, D, A , E, G low to high), and that he had personally switched over to by 1984. In GC itself the tuning is only one tool used towards a wider aim of re-directing the student's guitar playing from scratch.

New Guitar Craft students are not expected to have any guitar experience at all, and it has been suggested, by Fripp and students, that previous experience can sometimes work against the course objectives, because of the expectations it places on the course and on music in general.

Some course activities have little or nothing to do with the guitar, such as relaxation techniques, house and kitchen work, Tai Chi Chuan and the Alexander Technique.

I think my favorite thing from Aaron's Petrucci review:

He makes like Steve Vai at the end of Crossroads for a few minutes, then plays some shit slow for a while, finally showing us again how fast A REAL ASSHOLE LIKE HIM can play it!
