Your music sucks and I don't care about how many BPMs you can sweep at. This is a bad take. Being capable of more techniques adds to your compositional bag of tools. You can express things an unskilled player can not. There are certainly a few bad eggs that spend more effort playing quickly than properly composing, but blanket disapproval of skill is usually sour grapes on the part of the critic. That's not the point I'm making at all. If you're mastering a bag of chops so that you can use them when needed of course that's fine, and all part of the craft. I'm talking about the guys that make the music about the chops, and not the other way around. There are a lot of musicians like that. You're just sitting there watching them roll out a bunch of clever tricks they learned and they want you to be impressed by. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:922961627] in Anybody el...
