Your integrity is one of the reasons we all love you. The lack of authenticity in the world is sad. So many things can be faked these days, and not just in music, it makes me suspicious of almost everything I see on the internet.
Dawn, I wish I could have said it better. You are spot on. Fil’s integrity with his work and profession is outstanding. I wish half the CZcamsrs I see had anything like Fil’s sense of concern and duty. Cheers from Virginia 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks! And cheers back at you from your neighbor state of NC!
Well said❣️
I must admit, Fil’s passion on this subject really made me think about it. I’m not kidding. So many people are just plain faking
@@DawnLenn agree 💯...
from another North Carolinian. 🙋
I wouldn't call this a rant. It's a great informative exposé of the fakes. Thanks mate, very much appreciate the videos. Keep up the good work.
Legendary comedian and actor George Burns once said, “The secret to success in Hollywood is sincerity. If you can fake that…..”
I think the real problem is that the people who watch the fake videos don't care they are faked, and almost certainly wonder WTF we are complaining about. Appearance and branding is the important thing now, talent and passion aren't part of the equation :(
To follow up... I watched a person do an "evaluation" of the same Glen Campbell and Roy Clark video that you did, and he found it "interesting". He went on to explain that today's music is different than back then, with the technology and all, and that we should appreciate what people are doing today. I thought to myself, "you really do not know what you are talking about".
The sad part is, today, many “live” performances are pre-canned, as the band/performer can’t cut it live.
I don’t understand why people fake things. Have they no pride? Apparently not. If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. Thanks for sharing this video.
Clicks, views, likes, money. Some People will BS a lot if they make some money. Have you seen the fake sax or violin players outside your local target or walmart that 'need to feed family' and they are virtuosos? Yeah, all of it is fake.
Lazy. They want the accolades of being a great guitarist but don’t want to put in the years it takes to get there. I played guitar and bass for over 30 years but had to give it up due to recurring carpal tunnel and arthritis.
They do it for however much money they can make from it. That isn't hard to understand. What is hard to understand is why people pay for it.
I think people are just lazy today, you see the same with all kinds of "artists", they want AI in photo shop to create the "art" for them and so on, they don't want to do any work themselves.
Video killed the radio star indeed! -- Take my paint-by-numbers painting -- Plug into AI Paint Bot -- "Make this picture in the style of Rembrandt" -- Voila! -- Artists of all muses cannot be heard or seen because they are being buried in tech-aided no-talent nobodies. Good rant Fil.
Looking at the camera...and doing that....🤣🤣🤣 Love your take on that!!!💫
Good work Fil. Most of us who speak up get attacked terribly over pointing out this deceitful garbage. Thanks
Thank you!!! Finally someone had the backbone to speak up. This is been going on for years
As a violinist, the vibrato (or lack thereof) was easy for me to spot, but some other bits seemed convincing until pointed out. I think it fools people because, as you say, this girl can definitely play.
Thank you for making us aware. I thought on a couple of videos were off that I have seen.
Someone can pick up a wrench. Does that make them a mechanic? Thanks for sharing this. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
This is toxic for anyone who is trying to learn an instrument for real as it can really undermine a person's confidence, the insidious side of technology is causing many unnecessary problems for us all.... great topic & video as always Fil thanks.
Very true!
It's toxic for everyone
I've never met anyone who cheated or faked their way to an "accomplishment " who wasn't destructive in many ways.
Great player, great teacher, and really, really nice person. Great channel.
Not one bit surprised, sadly. You said it so well!! Thank you.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Fil! I didn't know this is going on, there's so much dishonesty in this world anymore with music, such as: auto tune, pitch correction, this and only God knows what else! It's a darn shame!
And it's such a disrespect to the legendary performers whose either natural talent and/or dedication to practice filled us in the audience with delight and awe. I think about performances that moved me to tears with their power & beauty - how stupid & cheated would I feel were I to discover that something that had been deeply moving wasn't genuine??? Very!!
Your choice of language is so kind! They are faking it, making them FAKES! Love your work.
This confirms a suspicion I've had about these videos of a beginner's progress after just one year of playing, or some of them have been playing for years and pretending to be a beginner.Thanks for your expert analysis Fil.
To restore your faith take a look at Ren-Hi Ren if you haven't already, he's a lad from Brighton.
Another prominent UK CZcamsr pointed this out a while ago that many social media guitarists wouldn’t be able to play live. Let alone improvise on the spot the way Fil does on his live stream jam sessions. One of the things many young people are missing out on is the experience of hearing live music or how a song is actually recorded versus a live rendition of that song.
Woot, Mary Spender must be a prominent UK CZcamsr! Better than a non-prominent one
They’re also missing out on actually creating anything authentic and worthy. It’s ALL about the money.
Well a solo isn't a song after all.
Stevie T?
Totally agreed brother! I’ve often looked at these type of vids thinking there’s no way they are playing that! You just totally proved it ! Great job!
Fil my man thanks for the rant! We love you and respect your integrity brother. Keep being the rockstar you are and we’ll keep watching you my friend. Much love to all
Yep, is the lie that bugs me too. We are actually not idiots, and they're not as good as want to seem. Pitiful.
I watched this on Patreon. I wouldn’t call this a rant, but like you said, an important point about a huge happening across social media. I watched this on Patreon a few times and thought, “So people fake it to get subs, eh?” In a way, it’s frustrating for musicians who have the true ability to play but aren’t familiar with the techy stuff; therefore those who fake get followers who are fooled. There’s a saying about being able to fool some people some of the time but not being able to fool all of the people all of the people all of the time. Like you said, they will get found out. I would not call what you talked about a rant. I would call it an education and a wake up call for those who believe that they can get away with faking it and getting away with it. Thanks for doing this. Rock on, Fil! 🎸
Brings back fond memories of The Monkees' "Valleri" video (from the original TV show) where Mike Nesmith is playing about half the notes in Tommy Tedesco's flamenco-like solo, while Mickey Dolenz looks at him in feigned awe. Innocent fun, though, from back in the day.
So sad. I couldn't live with myself knowing I can't really play what I'm faking.
Fil you ought to do an expose' video on this, by showing how you make one on camera step by step. Besides you could have some fun with it make yourself look like the most fantastic guitarist in history.
As a younger Brother has said, 'before there was pro-tech there were pros'
Far from a rant, Fil, more like a proper dressing-down from a true professional. Thanks for your continued integrity and restraint in not making it personal.
Thanks for this video. I am 57 and just started taking guitar lessons and enjoying it. Good job.
Also good job with The Warning interview. It was a while ago I know. I have seen them live twice and they were outstanding. They are going to finally go to Europe to do a couple of festivals. Maybe more over there
So glad I found you and this channel and all your comments. I love how you respect every artist no matter what the genre. I’d like to request may be a review of Patti LaBelle or James Taylor. Again love, love, love your channel every day. I’m finding something new I especially loved your review of Luther Vandross who was one of my very favorite artists, and of course Freddie Mercury.❤
As you said, what these guitarists are doing similar to vocalists using auto-tune and pitch-correcting? You are getting people who can't perform fooling people into thinking that they can.
Your integrity is why we love you, Fil. Thank you for pointing this out.
I appreciate your changing things up, Fil. Every once in a while you just gotta go to the window and yell at the world. Very theraputic. Keeps the nosey neighbors away too.;)
My youngest brother plays guitar. He taught for several years and went to Berkley College in Boston for a semester. He is quite good, but unfortunately he never got a break to do anything with his talent. We actually had a cover band back in 1983, doing Pat Benetar, Heart, Journey, Lead Zeppelin, etc (I was lead singer). I could tell the difference just by watching closely, Great video. And yes, that puts both of us in our 60's.
He not 60....lol
@@letsgomets002 I didn't mean Fil, I meant my brother and myself.
As an old player of 49 years, I have noticed this a lot a whole lot. I didn't have anything but a record player and my ear. It sucked but it developed my ear and that's something money can't buy a CZcams videos can't teach.
Love you channel Phil
Keep it real ,you're very talented young .
I noticed that CZcams was feeding me a lot of shorts with female guitarists playing guitar and totally killing it but they were all playing the same angle with their clothes, perfect makeup and hair and very well practiced smiles directly at the camera while shredding. I've been calling them out as fake for a while now and giving them the thumbs down whenever possible. If they think I'm stupid enough to believe what I'm seeing then they get the thumbs down for their insult, even if they do have a well practiced smile.
Fil....how is it possible that you've been teaching guitar for 15 to 20 years? I thought you were about 27! And kudos to you for being so classy in blurring out her identity. I know this is one of many doing the scam, and you could have easily identified her, but you chose to take the high road on this video! That's why we love you!
He bathes in the blood of bass players. All good guitarists do it.
Did you notice how Steve Vai suddenly looked a lot older during lockdown when his supply of bass players was cut off?
What more proof do you need?
He IS 27. He's really that good - my dad got lessons from Fil when Fil was 8.
@@captain_crunk my dad got lessons from Fil when my dad was 8.
My dad is now 71.
@@surfdigby perfect ;)
Edit: Fil looks absolutely amazing for being in his 70s or 80s, maybe even 90s.
@@captain_crunk Yeah, but have you seen the portrait he had painted of himself hidden in his attic?
Yep Fil. Every day when I look on my facebook pops up 'Reels and short videos' and it shows 4-6 you tube or instagram videos of some young teenager in bedroom playing lead guitar, piano or drums etc and most looks fake. "I'm good looking so watch me play" click bait stuff. Now and then I browse or view a bit of one of them so I'm sure it must think I like it cos next day another new lot pops up. I can only see an option to hide but that doesn't work
I've been calling these fakers out now for a while. They hate it. Love this video ! Thank you.
Geez, say it ain't so! You've got every right to rant.You certainly caught my attention here. I agree with you 💯%. Thank God for you Fil, you are the real deal. On the lighter side, I did LMAO as you demonstrated some 'fake guitar playing'!! Fakers beware, Wings of Pegasus is here. And that's the truth🎸
Hey Fil, glad you're feeling better! You said you've been teaching for almost 20 years so you must have started when you were 10. (Be proud of that youthful face.)
Back to the topic at hand. You hit the nail on the head. Social media has driven a lot of this behavior. People, especially younger ones, are desperate for recognition and likes. I would also guess they were raised by parents who told them everything they did was fine and wonderful.
There are those who are real cream, and those who are non-dairy substitutes. Thanks for being real. Much love and respect from the Sunshine State!
I really enjoy your "rant alerts " .they teach me a whole lot. Thank you for this.
Keep on keeping it real Fil. I see it with Bass playing/solos on occasion. Edit: Happy Australia day!
As always Fil, right on the spot. I stopped bothering about this fakeing, but really, it's annoying. So maybe I should bother again! As a guitarplayer I want to get on with my own music, practising and performing live!
I know a couple specific individuals that are always on smiling nonchalantly as they play an enormous run and I’ve always been skeptical. It just never looked right. Sometimes not even holding the guitar in the you’d need to actually do what they’re doing. Glad to see my gut feeling was correct. Thanks fil. You should check out The Warning again, they’ll be in the UK in a couple months.
Heard a fantastic saying. "Never take an assumption and act on it like it is fact". What I love is that you take our assumptions and point out the facts. It's something that people have to put into their "social media" lives.
Nice to see and hear from someone with integrity. Thanks Fil.
I really kind of feel sorry for the generation that is growing up with all of this. All of it is garbage and for kids that don't know and can't spot a "fake" it keeps upping the bar that can never be reached. That goes for music, beauty, all of the stuff on social media that we enjoy following. Side note - your impression of someone faking for the camera was great and made my day.
Hi Fil! Thank you so much.
I am an artist and illustrator, and in my field, very similar things are going on.
Someone without background knowledge simply isn`t aware of this kind of fakery.
I am not a musician, and your information is very valuable and eye-opening to me.
Thanks again and friendly greetings from Slovenia :)
Those of us who have been playing guitar all of our lives will spot crap like that a mile away. Thank you Fil for sheading light on this type of nonsense.
You are an excellent guitarist! Yet you're not afarid to wrestle with some tough guitar techniques until you get it right. In doing so you demonstrate how to learn. For a young guitarist just learning or even an experienced guitarist, spending a little while watching you is time well spent. The message of this video is, quality and integrity matter! 👍
Good man, well said ! Does my head in when Singer-Songwriters or Singer-Guitarists sit in their room/bedroom and pretend to play live, when in fact it's a pre-recorded track, with Reverb and/or BVs ! lol its not a good look. Quantity (Likes) over Quality. There will always be flakes
Integrity in all fields of endeavor is so critical. It may be easy to fool others through misrepresentation, but as you point out, there are consequences. I can also appreciate your agitation, having watched so many of your analysis videos of outstandingly talented musicians. Thanks Fil!
Well done Fil. Like Shakespeare. "Here play upon this pipe." "I have not the skill my lord." "Yet you play upon me!" (I'm paraphrasing)
Unfortunately, it goes with the territory with social media. The whole point about it is to create a fake and perceived perfect life which also tends to lead to a great deal of dissatisfaction among those who get sucked into it. Great video. Certainly something, as a 47yr old guitar noob, I had no knowledge about! 💕💕
I think you and Rick Beato should do a "double down" rant on fakery (as shown in this video and also RUDDY AUTOTOOOON)
Even StevieT
Fil and Rick Beato working together would be incredible.
The end goal, unfortunately, is to look good - which is the goal of a lot of social media. Fortunately, we have you Fil, to point it out and show everyone how it’s really done!
It is irksome to guitar players, and I only know a few songs. You did a great job with this Fil. Thank you for explaining what this is. Thank goodness there are people like Fil who are honest and care about integrity. This channel is the real thing. One of my best choices in subscriptions.
I'm shocked to find that people are faking videos that can be used for monetary gain. Absolutely shocked.
😅
Thank you, Fil, for this education and for your passion and integrity!
I've spent the last few months listening to R.Gallagher and older blues masters. The contrast between that world and this reality is crazy...😕
Great expose! Though I think you're missing the clever use of the hip activated vibrato bar and the "last note extender" footswitch. Clearly she is a master of both 🤣🤣
Fil, thanks for pointing this out! I personally don't play guitar but I grew up in a family of brothers who all played. I was blessed to be the voice. Some of my closest friends play professionally. It isn't hard to spot the fakers. I agree with you. It's upsetting when people lie about their playing abilities and more so when they do this in order to take advantage of others. You've certainly made it much easier for everyone to see this for themselves. Keep up the beautiful work! Be blessed! ✨️💗✨️
Sooo glad someone is calling this BS out for what it is. Unfortunately, clicks, likes, fakes and frauds rule the day. I can't help but think my friend Prince is smiling at you Phil..;-)
💜🎶🎵♀️♂️🎵🎶💜
Totally agree and well explained. I’m a flute player who livestreams every week. I play live and sometimes make mistakes and that’s all part of it. I like your comment about being yourself and if people don’t like it that’s fine, it’s called artistry. But faking live playing is just plain wrong.
Oh my heck. Have you ever seen a movie with a fake flute player? Makes me crazy. Surely there was an actress that actually played well enough for a good fake!
This is so eye opening and I will be looking out for this type of thing more. It’s all about getting likes by any means necessary. It’s not even about money in some cases. Some people are just hooked on the attention they get from it. I think it’s shameful. I’d rather support someone who can honestly play it at half that speed.
Glenn Johnson Oh boy!!I totally understand your rant Fil.100%
This is such a breath of fresh air. Now I know not to be intimated by these examples that don't seem to be playing the music, but say they are.
Preach it Fil! Thanks.
I totally agree with you. I feel so blessed to have grown up in the 60s, so I got to see and hear wonderful talent. I grew up with Great Uncles who played Bluegrass and Country together. They were great at guitar, bango, fiddle and mandolin. So I really appreciate hearing good guitar playing.
Sometimes, for the sake of a song, a part can be spliced together to make the song what the composer envisioned. I’ve written parts that, once I’m in the studio recording, my hands just won’t play correctly. In those cases, I’d rather compromise my abilities than compromise the song. It’s not about ego, it’s about doing what’s best for the song.
Back in the day: you eat with your eyes
Today: you listen to music with your eyes.
Thanks Fil, this was annoying me too. I like how well you present the whole thing, regarding honesty, integrity, deceiving the audience for the purpose, basically, of grifting them, and for personal adulation... under false pretense for sure. You didn't put it exactly that way but you really covered it, technically and diplomatically (as if the fakery deserves any politeness). You don't mention names, etc. but the contrast between your skill and professionalism and theirs' is staggering. You really covered it, with precise example, undeniably perfectly.
So true. There are a couple of "reactors" who will watch the "Official(MTV-type)Video"-dubbed over the recording-and comment on technique(s), even when the lip synching is 'off'. I've been in live performing bands locally for ~55 years, playing bass and singing and this kind of [stuff] drives me crazier than I already am.
Glad you pointed this out. If it goes on with guitar, there's a good chance it's happening with other instruments as well. I'll be paying more attention to some of these solo music presentations in the future.
I LOVE that you have integrity and aren’t afraid to point out the rampant dishonesty in music today. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting fakery thanks to your videos and I am just not interested in paying good money for people who ‘play’ their audience. Social media has a lot of merit but it has its dark side too. Anyway, I truly appreciate you and your love of REAL music.
I just saw this a few weeks ago, and it really stunned me. I play guitar? But I'm just an Acoustic/Fingerpicking player. I mostly just sing/do a few other instruments.
At first I thought it was just me, not being an actual "guitarist", such as yourself- but I found that video again, and it's someone who once had millions of followers on a platform, then got banned. There was another excuse for the "banned" part? But seeing you actually cover what I saw? Makes me seriously question their reasons.
Thx for this, Fil.
This had to be one of the hardest videos for you to do, Fil. Your passion for great music and the artists that perform it for us is so obvious. You take such pleasure in pointing out the incredible skills of a Glen Campbell or Stevie Ray Vaughan and it helps us to truly appreciate their greatness.
But, for you to have to go the other way and show us the fakes has to hurt because it puts a negative spin on what is out there in social media. It had to be done, Fil. These phonies should be thankful that it was you that outed them. You blurred the person and never gave any identity, which is because you are all class. Now we have to question every guitarist on Instagram or CZcams because I don’t have your expertise in spotting phonies. I feel bad for the real deals who have to convince us that they are actually playing what we are hearing because of our newly discovered cynicism.
I can understand how this can be so irritating for you Fil. I watch your channel to get honest, professional opinions on musicians and singers that I like. I appreciate your skill and knowledge and am grateful that you share it with us. Fil, don't waste your time with people like this. They are a waste of your valuable time. They don't deserve even a minute of your attention. Stay positive and focus on real musicians and singers. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for this video. It was very informative. I didn’t know any of that. I knew they didn’t really sing live anymore but I figured that they at least played their guitars!!
This reminds me of the " Beeny Goodman Story" Jiimmy Stewart in one scene is playing the trombone and what he is doing is so far from the music that I can't even watch the scene.
Thank you, Fil, for keeping us informed of these unfortunate trends of technology and social media celebrity.
Really a good exposé. You have to be brave to be a truth-teller. And you are brave!
I certainly can understand why it’s irritating to you, Fil. You put so much into your videos and have more integrity than I’ve ever seen. I enjoy animal rescuing videos and it irritates me when I “suspect” some people set these rescues up to get more people to watch. So irritating to me! 😖
What! On no, they fake some of those????.....I feel so naive! Hey, hi Debi Shaw!
@@lynndow3185 Sadly I have wondered that about rescue videos myself. But we CANNOT dismiss rescue videos as fake, because we
need those dedicated people out there who crawl through the dirt to pull a cat or dog mom out from under a porch with their offspring. Cheers and love to those intrepid folks! I know this is off topic Fil, but this matters. Dare I say as much as “real” music.
@@lynndow3185 many things are being faked on social media it is sad, but not all are fake
As a rescuer, it infuriates me, and it saddens me, when I see a video that I KNOW is fake, a set-up. There was one particular channel a couple years ago, and it was always the same guy walking around aimlessly while his friend was filming him for some inexplicable reason, and they always just happened to find a kitten or a puppy (always a kitten or puppy) that needed rescued. And these poor babies were stuck in mud, stuck in holes, stuck in water they couldn't climb out of, etc...I specifically remember a puppy with a paw stuck in a small animal trap. He always took them home, washed them, and fed them. Never got them any medical treatment. And then people started noticing that the same animals were showing up in different videos. That channel was finally shut down by YT after viewers of legit rescue channels mass reported them.
That's just one that I know of. There are over 50M YT channels! Guaranteed there are more fake rescue channels out there like that one. And that breaks my heart. 💔💔
I agree with all you said.
It seems to me that social media poisons everything. It isn't about being at the concert- it's about video recording it on your mobile so that you can post to social media (subtext: check out my awesome life). it isn't about actually playing the guitar well, but creating the impression that one does in order to get approval. It's like taking pictures from weird angles to look less barrel-shaped, or only documenting the best bits of daily life in order to create an illusion.
The endgame may be likes, but that has got to come crashing down eventually. I cannot say enough how much better the headspace is since I dropkicked twitter, FB, insta, etc a few years ago. The best way to win that game is simply not to play it.
Thank you! I’m an old guy, intermediate player. I watched too many instructional videos where I ask myself, “how is that being done?” Now I know to ignore those videos.
They can't pretend accurately. that made me snort coffee
Phil I'm an oldie, I don't like Shorts that everyone seems to be doing today, I really enjoy your videos because I'm not at all technical, I love music but cannot tell one note from another, I feel I'm a little unusual that I just listen to what I like, not having a clue as to how it was recorded, the new artists around today that I have seen live ,fortunately sound very different to their recordings, they have to change things up a little live, I can never understand when people say "they sound exactly the same as on the record" if they do, that would make me very suspicious, I think what I am trying to say is I'm glad the technical side doesn't ruin things for me 🤣
Fil, you hit on my biggest problems with the “new generation” of musicians (or songwriters). I’m 59, worked with a kid about mid 20s, who said he was an accomplished songwriter. Having grown up “in the trenches”, I asked if I could hear a couple of his songs, since he asked if I could record and produce his next project. 20 seconds into the first song, I had already picked out the downloads he had used, and from what songs he downloaded them from. Needless to say, I did NOT record and produce his rubbish, but handed him one of my acoustics and asked him to play the song. He said honestly that he didn’t know how to play “his” song. I informed him that if he can’t physically play and perform “his” song, he was NOT a songwriter, but instead a download pirate!!! The songs and videos I’ve put on the internet have spots where you can see my fingers doing the intro riff or even the lead, and they are a tad out of sync because the video process that was used didn’t have a synchronizer. But any guitarist can see I’m actually playing the guitar. If they can’t sit down, play their instrument and perform the song, they’re fake. This gal can find the notes (mostly), but has no technique whatsoever. I’m really not convinced she played that solo when it was recorded. I hope people like that make a lot of money “pretending” on social media, because no venue will ever let them play live!!!
Sorry-I had to rant on this too my friend. Take care Fil, and another great video!!
One can write music without being a performer and "download pirate"
@@curtrice1822 don't call me dear, thanks. Sampling music, I agree is not writing. But there's no reason a person can't write original sheet music. It's absurd to say they have to play their original music to be considered a writer, when writing is not performance.
@@curtrice1822 sorry I'm not reading that. Most people who are into music seriously enough to write music have likely touched an instrument before, but that doesn't mean they are good or have to be good performers. You're sound like you've never used a DAW and synth, which have been around for a few decades by now.
I apologize Fil, some decided to catfish me with infantile replies. I will get off this subject and wait for the next one!
@@curtrice1822 catfish means you pretend to be one person, meet up IRL and you look totally different. I think you're upset that I won't accept your notion that one must perform their own song to be considered a writer. I'd say they need to have it written down on paper or in a computer.
the age of digital editing unlike back in the analog tape only era where it would be impossible to splice anything like what we're seeing today when I see them I just smh and shut it off you can spot them almost instantly thanks for covering this topic
You're right about being found out eventually.....but they block you if you criticize them. I called someone out on their picking being inaccurate and masked by tons of distortion...and she blocked me. So all the comments were praising her and how great she was, no negative comments at all.
I wondered how an adolescent was so casually outplaying Don Felder and Joe Walsh--as if they had copied HER solo.
Yes, her comments. Everyone of them is worshipping her like some kind of superstar. Never anything negative.
Tell ya what I have had quite a few people telling me that I am faking it. But nothing could be further from the truth. I am not using anything but my ohn. To record with and no edits. I wish some people would back me up here. Instead these fkrs. Just say there's no way your doing that. But oh yes the fk. I am. I hope you see this and help me get through to everyone.
Thanks Fil for explaining & labeling what I have been seeing & hearing for awhile. I know I have watched many thinking, "where are the extra notes coming from?" Their fingers are not playing what I'm hearing. I am mesmerised by truly talented & gifted musical artists. I experience a musical rush when watching fingers flying up and down keyboards or guitar frets hitting every note. I appreciate the hours and years of practice an artist immerses themself in to be able to take command of the instrument and truly play the heck out of it.
Back in the 60’s it did come out that the Monkees did not play their musical instruments in the studio.recordings.The cat was out of the bag when we found out that many top groups in America didn’t either.The pros played the wrecking on their recordings.The Beach Boys led the list.
There’s a similar kind of thing going on in the DJ world, which has been going on for many years already. Many big name DJs have prerecorded sets on flash sticks and only (or not even) do the odd effect live, pretending they’re mixing live.
There’s even a picture of David Guetta on Tomorrowland where you can see that all faders on the mixers are down. 🤷♂️🤦🏼♂️
One more example of how fakery abounds on the internet, sadly. I was annoyed (again) in the CZcams comments by the pretend Wings of Pegagus congratulating me for having won a PRIZE! and to text him. Grrrrrrrrrr! Good rant! Thanks.
Not being a guitarist myself, I would not notice this so much. Thanks for enlightening us!
I'm not a guitarist either but I did a search for "guitar solo" and several of the Shorts were of a very beautiful young woman. I couldn't help noticing there was no lead on her guitar .
THANK YOU Fil!!!!! it is time to call this stuff out!!!!
Thanks Fil. I don't feel so bad about my playing now.
This does my head in too. There is so much musical fakery these days, yet on the plus side I've spent less time listening and more time playing.
