ORIGINAL: britguy "That flamenco stuff is pretty fancy, but I'll bet you can't do it on steel strings!" "Absolutely. You'll definitely never be able to play it with your <insert name of steel-string guitar brand here>. Too bad for you." You'll occasionally (or depending on where you hang out, frequently) run into musicians who like to talk about the superiority of their instrument, their playing style, or their musical genre. It happens between musical instruments (banjo sucks, accordion sucks), between instrument types (nylon guitars suck, steel resonators suck), instrument brands (Taylors suck, Gibsons suck), and instrument models (C40s suck, D-18s suck). This may just be from the need for validation. After all, some of these musicians have dedicated much of their lives to their chosen instrument. Of course, validation can still be acquired without having to put down other instruments, music forms, and artists; but some people suck at being persons anyway. [;)][:D] We choose our music and we must choose the best instruments that we can get to bring that music to life. As Rico_Kiko said, "horses for courses".
