I know what you guys are saying. I just don't agree that is all. I dont' mean to let anyone "have it", but I hear this same arguement over and over. quote:
I get a cold feeling from guitarists who are too exact, and then i mean like a midi file. See not me, just the opposite. Gives me the shivers, it is really scary to me, amazing feeling. But after this you said somthing about dynamics. To me dynamics and playing on time are 2 different things. To keep time perfect and still control dynamics IS "exact" playing to me. And you can program midi to do that too, do dynamics I mean. You can't make midi sound like a guitar of course. I really notice when PEOPLE have worked so hard they can do that. I dont' hear it as often some people seem to. Flamenco guitarists are especially good. Chicuelo is amazingly in control. I love it. Vicente is so expressive, but tick tock like a clock. Nunez too. Tomatito. Moraito, Paco, etc. Check out FRANCISCO SANCHEZ live DVD. Paco, Canizares, Bandera, the rumba Caña de Azucar. Watch the foot tap, put your metronome on. Find Their tempo (mine was around 115 bpm, but there are different calibrations), and notice they dont MOVE for like 5 minutes. That is what a groove is supposed to feel like, like it or not. Like the computer. And they are not using click or percussion, just the foot. It is an amazing feeling to me, but a lot of folks find it "cold". I will never understand. Ricardo
