Tom, this is either mumbo or jumbo, or even both. So, Stevie Wonder, or anyone with their eyes closed is denied duende? B o l l o c k s thrice squared. But, no need to speculate. Why don't we test it, scientifically? All we need to do is get the universe to split into infinite copies of itself then analyze every interaction. It'll be easy. We don't even have to do it down to the subatomic level, we could do it the level of life and save a lot of computing time. Of course, you'll have to build the gadget that does the splitting. Maybe one of the luthiers can build a jig to help out? Can we get a proper definition so we don't miss it though? Needs eyes and more than one person. Both with open eyes or is the presence of someone enough to allow it to happen to one person and not the other? But these are trifling details. So, it comes about once every 35 years? No sweat, we can run the experiment for say, a couple of million years or so. If I didn't feel duende every time I play the guitar, I wouldn't do it. (of course, this isn't proper duende, it's more like spankin the duende.) And lay off Grisha's technique. Classical indeed. I think not. Grisha is a unique proposition; he's writing his own chapters. Don't be fooled by your eyes. Use your lugs more. I once knew a guy who practised in front of a mirror for up to twelve hours a day to copy, with infinitecimal and forensic detail, every nuance of John Williams' technique. Hands up anyone who thinks he ended up sounding like John Williams? It looked like John Williams technique but it sounded like the way fish and chips tastes in a Sri Lankan restaurant where the chef has only seen pictures. Grisha can publicly demonstrate his art, and the insecurities of a sensitive soul blessed with high intellingence as well as humility and a profound musical ability, but it will not change reality. He's allowed to 'hate his playing' but for anyone else to hate it is simply to state they cannot hear the magic about them, for example. (Not that you said that Tom, I'm just saying his willingness to share needs honesty from the rest of us.) But I've read people here saying they 'hate' Paco, for example. So anything is possible. All this guy needs is work, gigs, earning money, and more gigs. Period. His right hand is neither classical nor is it flamenco. It is Grisha. I'd give my right arm for a right hand like that. How about a swap Grisha? I'll give you a weakling arm for your classical right hand and sort it out for you then give it back? If you ever play in Switzerland, Ill be there Grisha.
