Howard -> RE: I need advice on practising (Dec. 22 2007 3:29:33)

I looked at this website called the "five mistakes classical guitarers make" or something similar. This guy calls his **** the "Sakari Method." Has anyone heard of that? He seems to promote practicing on the open strings at a slow pace, with a metronome, and increasing speed as you go. At least thats the idea I got after reading volumes of crap on his website, and downloading his free "mini course" (also ****) Now I would think that that would be a good thing to do. But it seems that any advice beyond that , you have to pay for. Now I am definitely not the greatest classical guitar player in the world, but I think this guy goes too far. I am talking about advice on how to play the damn thing, and this guy wants to sell you some ****. I think that is not right. I think that we as classical/flamenco players should stick together and offer advice freely without any pricetag involved. Am I wrong? I appreciate the comments so far. I have ordered a cheapo guitar from an online store, about $90 or so, and after I get it, I am going to really give you flamenco purist ****s a run for your money. Believe me. The negativitity in this forun is unbelievable. I am going to set you MFer's straight. I sense a lot of egotiical crap on here. I am not into that. If you want to give me a bunch of egotistical crap, I will not listen to you. Remember I have been playing the instrument for 32 years, and I will not be intimidated. You son of a bi-atches can fire away at my choices and my methods, but, you know what? Until you come over to my house in Atlanta and blow my doors off with your paying, don't give me no ****. I seem to get the feeling that there are a few people on here who think they are good. Well maybe they are, but the superior attitude crap has got to go. So what you can play the guitar like a madman. Does that make you a better person? If it turns you into an ****, then, no, in my opinion, it does not make you a better person. It just makes you into an ****. I am sending this message out there to all of you. Never mind the technique question. I think a lot of you people on this forum need to re-evaluate your goals and ambitions. I willl go on with my normal crap, but will you?
