jlampson Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Okay, I listened to your stuff. You're fast, alright? Seriously, pretty good shredding, however, you're bound to get flamed for spamming. John ----------- John\'s Songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John O. Lennon Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 "...Fastest Guitarist's.." what ? I ask because you used the possesive form (not the plural). Perhaps that was just a mistake, either of syntax (common amongst those not concerned with clear or accurate communication) or typing speed (& being too rushed monitor what you actually wrote)... but those are also flaws shared by those more concerned with speed records than musicality. In any case, again, "fastest guitarist's" what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyjoe Carter Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hey Boys, I just a mechanic with a website, thats it. Not real educated either but I just love to play. I tell everybody the same thing, of all the fast players in the world, I do OK for a forty year old outta shape mechanic. I still haven't figured out why everybody has to be so serious with the guitar. Just play it and have fun and let everything else go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John O. Lennon Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 The point, which tellingly escapes you, is that music is about communication & attention to detail. If one is negligent about those qualities, to what is one attentive? Speed records? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyjoe Carter Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 Mr. Irish Lennon, I would be willing to bet your don't believe what your saying for one minute.I bet if you did have the ability to play fast you would be able to apply it musically. I have in my many years of playing met many guitar players like yourself that get very defensive and insecure when speed and technique are mentioned. The claim that "I'm a player with emotion and feeling because I never developed any technique is very weak and small minded. Another point worth mentioning is this forum is a public forum and not limited to just "YOUR" views. There are actually a few members that have said they appreciate what I do and have supported me. I have let everyone into my website and said "this is what I like to do" and had many different conversations with various members of the Forum. Why don't you do the same???? Lets see what ya got! Share with us your mastery of the instrument! One of my favorite expressions has always been.... The emptiest can makes the most noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyjoe Carter Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 Another thing O. Lennon Your assuming that YOUR musically opinion is the pulse of the Forum which indeed it's not! All musical styles are welcome here! And because you hide behind flowery words and expressions does not translate into you being a seasoned musician. I will gaurantee you if you and I meet in a club for drinks you wouldn't be speaking the way you do. Nobody talks like that in real life. To attack my grammer is ignorant on your part seeing how this Forum is dedicated to those who have love for the guitar and a desire to want to share that with others; not because of their academic skills. My education wasn't mentioned anywhere on the form I filled out to become a member of this forum. Nor did it say if you play faster than 16th notes you will not be permitted to post here. So for the record, the moderator of this site isn't going to delete my account because of how many notes I play, therefore I'm not leaving! Most of the people I've encountered could care less about my playing which leaves room for many other conversations concerning gear, guitars or even weather that I've enjoyed. My suggestion to you is find something interesting to talk about that actually matters rather than regurgitating your shallow views on the Forum.

John O. Lennon Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Originally posted by Dannyjoe Carter: The emptiest can makes the most noise! That would be the only statement in your comments that I think qualifies as remotely accurate...& I think that only because of the bulk of your diatribe against the opinions that you (for the most part mistakenly) attribute to me. Contrary to what you imply, there's nothing defensive about anything I said; in fact, it's you who are getting bent out of shape & flopping all over the page to defend yourself & impugn my abilities, without even knowing them. I've no insecurities about my skills as a player or composer. I might not be able to play at a tremendous speed for a long time but, truthfully, other than as an effect, I don't find that particularly musical, in & of itself. As for the forum being about any individual's particular views, I never claimed to represent anyone other than myself; nor that you had no right to be here, did I? Again, it's you who seem to feel that there's some reason that I should not say what I think...why not? I never suggested that you leave or be deleted by the moderator (perhaps you're confusing me with some who attacked you as a spammer---something I never did). I also never attacked your education, only you expessive ability &, intimidating though you seem to suggest you might be if we met in a bar, I can asure you that I would think & say the same as I've here. My only point, which I reiterate & stand by, is that concern with qualities like being faster than others is a nonmusical concern & that the way you typed your introductory posts is an example of what happens when people become overly concerned (& self-important) regarding matters that miss the essence of what music really is---communication & attention to detail. To me, you're like a hod-rod driver: concerned with winning some race rather then a musical journey or destination. Perhaps if you calm down & think it over you'll still not agree with me (though I'd hope that this might open your perceptions to something you've ignored) but at least you'd realize I have a right to my view.

guittarzzan Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I have a few nuggets to throw in here. -I think a lot of players who can't play fast try to discredit fast players by saying they're not playing with any emotion or not saying anything with their playing. Meanwhile, guys like Clapton, Gilmore etc., who are great players, get all the credit for playing with soul. Yes, they are great players with signature styles, but they simply could not touch an Yngwie Malmsteen solo even after a month of practice. Shredders don't lack emotion, they simply express a different emotion. A Rolls Royce and a Lambourghini are both great cars, but neither can compete with the other. The only problem I see with the shred method is that very few players can do it in a way that doesn't begin to sound like the same thing over and over again. It's real easy for the fat guy on the sofa to mock the body builder saying that he's just wrapped up in vanity. Have fun with it or try something else. This is music; not cancer research. last thought...even if you are super fast and technically accomplished in your playing, most people won't be very interested when you advertise yourself as one of the fastest players one could ever hear. If this was 1982, you'd probably have 100 guys challenging you to a hot lix competition lol. happy new year, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picturemaker Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Danny, I tried to respond to this via your email address on your website but it was returned to me as undeliverable. So, here's my two cents worth here for the world to read. I was just cruising through the Music Player forums and found a link to your site. I was pleasantly surprised to find someone who was honest and sincere about his talent. I just turned 40 last year and grew up much like you. I didn't play to be a copycat guitarist and I pretty much went my own direction with regards to practice and musicianship. I developed a style much more in the David Gilmour vein than Nugent but I can really relate to what you are talking about. Grunge was definitely the Dark Ages and these GenX, do nothings have no idea what a real guitarist is. Hearing your playing reminded me a great deal of a guitarist from Memphis, TN I used to see from time to time named Shawn Lane. Shawn was master of legato and sweep picking. Truly and artist to the end. Unfortunately he died last year. If you get a chance check out his website "www.shawnlane.com". He was gifted and connected enough to get a record deal on Warner Bros. for a brief time and did put out an album called "Powers of 10" that is worth checking out. With regard to all your comments and personal thoughts, I found most of them to be dead right and I think you approach music from the heart, not the dollar sign. Very refreshing. I have enjoyed the music clips as well. I went through a metal shredder period during the 80's and early 90's and I can apprecite the talent you have on a musicians level. Very nice stuff all in all. I have personally moved into songwriting and producing. You know the whole home studio, Pro Tools thing. I have a kid now and don't get to devote much time to actually playing anymore so that has to feed my love of music. Well best of luck to you on putting out another CD. I will check back to your sight from time to time and see how you are coming along.

Soulpower Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Yes I admit being able to 'shred' is very impressive but being able to play with soul melody is much more impressive. I can play pretty fast if I want to but it's very rare I do - melody is the most important thing in lead guitar playing in my book. Check out some of my playing in the link below if you like. Plenty of lead solos there. 'She's Broken' and 'Angel' are good examples if you're interested.

GreyMantle Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Well, Went to your site, listened to all your stuff. Kinda reminded me of Johnny Winter (also from Texas, anyone remember him?) Even though I think critics are legless people who teach running, I am a guitarist of 35 years and I'll say: Keep at it Danny, you certainly have some skill. Even though you're 39 and have been playing for 26! years, perhaps in time, you'll also develop taste and humility. That is a sincere and candid statement. Just remember the words of LBJ, also a from Texas: "It's like pissing down yer leg, it may seem hot to you...." Grey I perform to live... I live to compose.

theblue1 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Playing fast is relatively easy if you sit around and drill at it. Playing slow is what takes artistry. BTW, isn't this the songwriting forum? "It's like pissing down yer leg, it may seem hot to you...."That LBJ. He may have been a crook, he may have been a warmonger, he may have been a murderer [there was a Johnson County tax assessor who had raised questions about some LBJ land dealings who committed suicide by shooting himself something like six times in the head with a bolt action deer rifle... ] but he sure had a way with words. bookmark these: news.google.com | m-w dictionary | wikipedia encyclopedia | Columbia Encyclopedia TK Major / one blue nine | myspace.com/onebluenine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
