RE: Myrddin playing a petenera - hol... (in reply to chester)
I see Myrddin in a similar light as Jeronimo. Some people seem to shut down when they hear flurries of notes, but IMO if you can objectively take a step back you can hear that he's making brilliant music that is really way above the understanding of most average or even aficionado listeners. This isn't easy listening, it's beautiful compositional madness. That having been said, I have sometimes wished to hear him slow down just a little to let his ideas breathe a bit more. That's just my take, I'm no composer. I don't actually feel that way about Jero, I like almost everything he does and love to hear him go into the stratosphere in his way.
By the way, all the guitars in that room are now cursed
