      because rubato isn't a thing and that perfect rhythm is needed all the time? Funk is very free in rhythm... the looseness is what matters.

    I think this should be renamed, "Guy with weird hat knows two chords"

      And you can play guitar at this skill level?

      +Bryce Walburn the thing is though, this isn't Bruce Jenner driving a car, this is a talented man skilfully playing a guitar. If you're going to make comparisons, at least make some that are relevant

      +marley joubert Ok, well, you've successfully missed the point entirely. So I guess I'll be explicit for you. Expert skill is not required to be able to assess relative merit. If I said this solo was amazing, you wouldn't question my ability to play guitar. So let's try to be consistent, eh?

    • @MrSickosBeast
      @MrSickosBeast Před 8 lety +1

      +Bryce Walburn I wouldn't have said anything about it if would've said you liked it, because then you wouldn't have insulted a talented man. I did judge your ability to play guitar because you said he was only playing 2 chords, when he clearly wasn't. Someone that plays guitar would know that he isn't just playing two chords, and is putting multiple chords in his solo.

      +Jay Horner44 It's not the amp, it's the guitar. He's using the Fender Strat's signature "out-of-phase" position between the bridge and middle pickups.
