Exodizer

Ugg I wrote the first response to this only to find out my internet went off and I clicked send. Here it goes again. First this was a very respectful response and I thank you for that. I'm not used to it (I'm new here so I don't know about these forums but on a vareity of other forums people are generally *******s). Secondly I didn't mean to insult Keith Richards, and I love the Stones it's just compared to Hendrix he's not the best. Also When I think Funk rhythm I think Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic. Yes Beethoven of course had talent, but when he started he was not even close to Mozart or even Handel or Vivaldi. If he died in his twenties we would know him as an above average romantic composer not Beethoven, and very fortunatly for us he got alot better. He worked his way up to Mozart and some people think beyond (I'm undecided on this one). Stevie's brother bought a guitar long before he did and due to sibling rivalry Stevie started playing. Stevie says his brother picked up the guitar and could play naturally while Stevie wasn't too good when he got his guitar. He practiced and practiced until he was who we know him as, the Texan who revived blues in the eighties. The single greatest thing you can be born with for music is absolute pitch, so it doesn't take you years to delevope it. There are some other things that talent goes along with but if you see a guitarist in the guitar center shredding like Batio, (terrible musician, probaly the fastest guitar player) their story is always the same. I locked myself in a room for a year and practice playing malmsteen (or some such sort) over and over again. Same goes with any intrument (epecially classical piano and jazz drums), so I really think hard work has more to do with it.
