RE: classical guitar board (in reply to Miguel de Maria)

This is the feeling I got from the chumps over there. They wouldn't even entertain the notion that there is another way to playing guitar than sitting there and staring crosseyed at your left hand. I told them that many good instrumentalists don't look at their hands, their response was to say that Manuel Barrueco ogled his hands, so did Heifetz. Our old friend Todd K chimed in with the opposition viewpoint, predictably, saying looking at your hands or not is a "meaningless detail." I responded that sure, if you spend your time in the studio, why not, but if you actually perform, if you have to work with dancers or with other musicians, if you have to read music, it's a terrible liability. I was surprised that not a single poster agreed with me. But if you want to enlist the stereotype that they are accountant types with no rhythm or sense of ensemble, then it makes a lot of sense. Okay, I'm done venting.
