Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
Bach ,Beethoven , Chopin etc wrote incredible music
Paul Mc Cartney /John Lennon wrote great songs
neither could have done the other's job
I know 2 phenomenal classical pianists .......they are almost like machines that turn busy staves into music but I doubt either of them could actually improvise a decent version of Happy Birthday at a first shot without written music
You would have to look hard to better Cole Porter ,Irving Berlin etc as songwriters
And “Louie Louie” is a horrible example to use here for anyone who wasn’t an all-consuming youth during that specific era.
Overall I don’t like it. It just mashes up too many things about music-making and music-listening that are complex and interesting and nuanced into something so needlessly singular. It appeals to the base anti-intellectual in us.
"Playing skill does not..." is accurate.
but
"Compositional skill does not..." would not be accurate.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Skill does not write a good song. Louie Louie is a better song than any song Joe Satriani’s written, but in the same breath, the more skillful you are, the easier it is for you to execute your vision.

Always with me, Always with you - The defining instrumental of a decade.
The statement is a fail for me. Besides, it's apples and oranges ain't it.
It's a shame cos the band has possibly made some interesting music but stuff like that is a turn-off to potential listeners.
I am not really a fan of instrumental electric guitar, but some Paco de Lucia - yes please, blistering technique, fabulous musicianship and thumping tunes.
Lets face it, Neil Young doesn't get to record music for his guitar playing or singing abilities - he gets to record music because he writes songs.
