Regarding technicality...

Tubbs is on the ball here. This isn't the first thread I've run into that you guys have taken onto your own little tangent. I was quite serious about the warning system. I hate to see anyone temporarily banned, but if this keeps up, I WILL be reporting offenders to MetalAges.
 
@ thread starter.
You're right. Most young, naive guitarists believe that speed is the only element (or at least the most important) in technicality.
Speed is important when doing things like arpeggios, but so is ACCURACY. To be technical, one should understand melody, harmony and rhythm.
I would consider myself reasonably technical at guitar, but I don't think I am terribly fast. But I do know well over 1000 chords (mostly from learning jazz :)) and have a good sense of rhythm.
Agree or disagree?

i play both guitar and classical piano. piano and guitar are quite differnt, techincal playing is differnt on both instuments. faster playing is always going to be harder, but still piano played slowly can be alot more techincal that playing guitar slowly like ^ said anyone can play guitar very very slowly you only have one hand to worry about wer as piano u will be using 2 hands to do diffent things and ther can be much more movemnt playing piano. arpeggios on guitar can be played without realy changing where ur hand is on the neck yet with piano u will have to move and u can be also doing something with u other hand making it far more techincal than guitar. yet i say that but then some wankers will do stuff like that on guitar and perform classical scores for piano on guitar and tap the extra notes and that is techincal! BUT GAY!


tapping isn't gay, cuntface :)

hah, ive seen those adam fular vids before... That guy is.. just fucking ridiculous, but his douche face is priceless!
yet..........a cunt
 
Adam is pretty amazing. I think he's the only player I've seen in recent times that's truly amazed me. I'm just so over the entire shred thing. Yet when you see someone play the guitar in such a non-standard way it really makes you realize just how versatile it is.
 
yeah, its players like him that just make me want to quit... then i come to my senses and its really players like that who make me want to be a better guitarist. There are plenty of shred guitarits, but i can't say ive seen a bunch of guys playing guitar like adam does. its really like he plays the guitar like its a piano. I dont even know how people begin to go about playing that way.
