I posted before about how a friend asked him what part timers should focus on when they practice, given that many of us only have an hour or two a day to dedicate. He said he had no idea because in the 8 hours a day that he plays, it's not nearly enough to play all the guitar he wants to play. I've been watching and listening to him for a few years since I saw him in concert, which was actually an incredible experience. I've noticed that even though he has written a lot of material, in vids where he is playing casually, he plays many of the same passages over and over and over. I think, and I could be wrong, that those endless picados are what he needs to do so that when he plays in concert, it comes out right. Grisha said something similar in a recent video when he said two hours a day isn't enough to progress on the guitar. Seems the price of admission for concert playing is really really high. quote:
ORIGINAL: Stu Watched most of this today. I am getting a kick out of hearing players talk about stuff lately more so than watching them play on 'tutorial' 'masterclass' videos. Perhaps prompted by Samuel Moore's interview series. I know Antonio is phenomenal and a fantastic composer. But I do find some of the little bits he plays to pituquete a little bit over the top/overwhelming. Don't get me wrong. I know he's capable of slower delicate, beautiful melodic stuff. But all that mad picado, dancing up and down the fret board and that hammering of single note picado. I'm not so keen.

ORIGINAL: kitarist quote:
Now this is a proper guitar player interview Wow, that was sooo great! Yes, picks and gear, scalloping the neck, technical stuff. You can always tell which guitarists Rick likes or doesn’t like. If he likes them, it always shifts to MUSICAL details about specific pieces. One thing is funny that they edited out some things like when Yngwie talked about “the band” that he was in. Those stories are widely known so it must have been a special request to delete that he was in Alcatraz. I will say the main thing I learned here was that considering he worked with some of the greatest singers I have heard (metal), Soto, Boals, Turner, Ripper, etc. And he goes through them like he discards picks. The thing is, the work they did for him is MUCH better than their independent projects, in terms of them really SINGING. So I wondered about it for years, he never gets asked about it. But here it turns out he grew up with OPERA SINGERS in his house, and I realized he had the ear to pull the best out of those guys in the studio. That is his vibrato and high note expression, etc. Probably frustrates him to hold all the singers to that standard and he was never happy.
