Smoke some weed? Just kidding. You are not required to emote anything when playing. But you have to get all the notes, or most of em. Don't worry about the cliche "all tech, no feel"....its BS unless you have been lobatamized, everybody has emotion and emotes unless deliberately trying to hide it. When you hear an edited recording, you can still feel emotional because it's about the listener more then the player at that point. Or the composer. If you simply performed only your own compositions you would not have this personal problem. Nunez or Moraito play technically perfectly because every note they play is like one of their own children, not becaue what they wrote is "easy" to play. Technique is a non issue, its simple expressing a creation. THe only alternative if you MUST interpret other's works is to, as others have said, take away any technique issue with any piece. THat means don't play stuff that is so DAMN hard!![:D] Play pieces you can play in any state drunk sober not warmed up etc, and you will feel just great about how your "emoting". Won't mean much for the audience but YOU'LL be happy. the issue about 5 notes vs 100 are EXREMELY technical details. One guy vs the other has no rights to more emotion then the other. But timing, dynamic, vibrato style, tone, attack, etc etc sure "Musical" but extreme technical reasons having nothing to do with happy or sad feelings that day. Steve VAi had a great technique exercise. Take a phrase, a melody, or lets say falseta. TRY your hardest to simpley play the notes as they are meaning ZERO expression, just purely flat. Good luck it's not as easy as it sounds, at least for guitar players..[:D]
