High Value Man Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I think people truly underestimate the skill it takes to play BR guitar solo. A bunch of non guitarists here who think its the same as playing Blink. Thats why I am saying, if its the same, pick up the guitar and learn it. You won't be able to.

High Value Man Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I get it. I am not a dancer and I thought Michael Jackson's moves looked easy till I tried them. Then I got served a case of the "wow this is fucking impossibles" But see, I am not arrogant. So I can admit that. Seems people here can't see the difference. Well then try it. Lets see it happen. Because if you think Tom Delonge can do BR, you are on another planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I can play Brian May riffs. So that is exactly what you are saying. Brian May, Tom DeLonge and Johnny Ramone are better than you. You can play the solo to Bohemian Rhapsody all fucking day long (it's not a complex solo by the way), you still can't fucking write it ... which is my point ... talent isn't in imitation its in innovation and creation.

Oliver seems to think the pinnacle of guitar talent is learning to play the stupid solo in BR ... BR being Bohemian Rhapsody ... now he's Mick Jagger strutting around like it means he wrote the fucking thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Is that really his argument now on being better than Tom/Skiba? Lmao! Most decent guitarists could learn all 25 seconds of that with a bit of practice. I was expecting some 3 minute Van Halen/Steve Vai shred fest...sheesh.

We should do a poll...Which would you rather be? A) Multi-millionaire that made living out of playing and recording his own music. Composed relatively simple songs but the songs were loved, adored, and worshiped by millions. Inspired thousands of people to start picking up instruments themselves. A highly influential musician that can do whatever he now wants with his life whether he wants to pick up a guitar or not. b) A highly skilled guitar shredder that can tear up Bohemian Rhapsody and Steve Vai songs...but has never been successful at composing your own songs or gaining your own fans. Is an internet warrior that picks on and talks condescendingly to members of a blink-182 forum you are an admin for. Working a 9-5 job and spending all day arguing that you're better than Matt Skiba and the founding member of the band that is the reason behind your own internet website. Obviously miserable that you never reached your own dreams of being a successful musician. Who would you rather be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither, there's a million assholes with ten million guitars and they all fucking suck. Fuck 'em. It's metal string on wood, it makes noise, who fucking cares.

I was just trying to point out how stupid it seems to be sitting at home with no fans acting like you're so much better than a successful musician. Yea. I can play drums better than a lot of famous drummers, but you know what? They're living the dream and I'm not. They get the last laugh no matter what.

Talent is most definitely imitation and memorization. In fact it is the key to success with everything. You can talk because you imitated and memorized. Don't you think that is kind of important? That is literally everything. Even songwriting is imitation and memorization. Writing 1000 shit songs to get the experience to writing a good one. That is literally the foundation of success in life.

You can't seem to separate the two. You have guitar playing on one side, you have guitar creation/songwriting on the other. They aren't the same thing. I think there is a difference between musical creativity and uniqueness and songwriting. Johnny didn't write that many of the Ramones songs, but his playing style is innovative. A lot of people copy that style. The same goes for singers. Lots of people are great and skilled singers, but it's the singers with unique voices regardless of skill that we remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
