Then I am a better guitarist. Just basic common sense. Not sure how anyone can get around that one. LOL why are you acting like your Queen clip was "good"? you fucked up multiple notes, were off time with the song, and if you played that live people would view you as the weird guy who comes into Guitar Center and plays the same riff for 30 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I didn't mess up. But the point is find me a video of Tom or Matt playing something as good. Oh right............. No one can. Because they fucking aren't as good. /end of thread.

I am not talking about songwriting. Not at all. I am talking about guitar playing ability. You got it dude, it is muscle memory. Most everything people learn is muscle memory. What is the point? I am still a better guitarist. Learning French is just about memorization. But if someone took more time doing that and speaks it better than me, guess what? They are better at speaking French. That's just how it works. No, you're talking about guitar skill. Memorizing someone else guitar riffs isn't skill, its patience and muscle memory. Following a recipe doesn't make you a great cook. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only talking guitar playing ability now. Okay so we're talking purely guitarist for hire technical skills? Then I trump all of you. Who cares if you can beat Skiba and Tom in a guitar covering competition if you can't beat Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There are like 50 different factors that go into making a musician. Ghent is talking about factor 30 Speedo is talking about factor 23 Randall is talking about factor 12, 24, 45 I respond to Ghent on factor 30, and Randall uses that reply to say its not relevant to factor 12. The only people confused here are you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 So have you at least admitted somewhere than you can't replace Skiba? Wasn't that your original claim and point of all of this? Now you are clinging on to some hope that you are better at guitar, because you know a Queen solo and Skiba/Tom haven't googled the tabs? My uncle won best guitarist in Indiana, and couldn't replace Tom/Skiba and plays at crappy bars to 10 people. You are nowhere near "replacing Skiba" level. If you feel you are, please start an Alk3 or blink cover band, and lets see how that goes over, along with high quality video of your performances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tom wanted to, I'm more than positive he could 'cover' a Queen song. Skiba can't considering he can't even cover blink songs but Tom?

Randall Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Where did I do any of that? I'm trying to keep up with you best as I can. Truth be told, no matter what I say to try and reach you, I feel as though you'll ignore it and say I'm wrong, case and point when I posted those videos your response was "I am better, hands down" but that's just a general statement, there is nothing to back that up, and from what I recall of your video, you were not better - so then, who is right in that situation? It's such a bummer cause the video was really fun, and I truly do commend you for putting yourself out there. Hubris though, and humbleness. I do hope that sometime someone can come along and explain things better, and reach you in ways others haven't been able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
