Kasparov is much more interesting to watch.

Two geniuses, regardless of popularity ....
He's not smug - see what he says to Paul after borrowing the pick. He's just thought through everything he's playing to a depth that most of us hack-omatic guitarists never reach.
Refreshing video in among the thousands of "YOU'RE PLAYING THE CAGED SYSTEM ALL WRONG - HERE'S WHY" nonsense.
As somebody who plays in an altered tuning I like hearing about how/why others ended up with their tuning. I quite like his tuning conceptually, but I would struggle to sound how I want with it I think... I'd love to try and extend the concept to a 7 string and end up with an absolutely massive tonal range though - kind of a George Van Eps and Lenny Breau tuning in one!
As for the tunes, this video must be one of my most watched of the last year. Magical.
Honestly, I've never seen much point in trying to decide if I "ought" to appreciate something. I don't expect anyone to like the music, films or books I enjoy, and I really don't care if they do or not. In fact if someone says "you choose an album" I feel embarrassed, I don't want to force people to listen to something just because I like it. If I like it, that's enough. I'm just me.
He's always doing that Cleo Laine/Frankie Howerd thing with his face though, so it's a no from me.
His mum is a professional violinist.
I didn't do singing as a kid (only learnt to sing in the last 10 years or so) but I did do piano and I'd say it's a lot easier to learn guitar by yourself after learning piano than the other way around
He also has perfect pitch which I think can be worked with but can't really be taught as such, and that certainly helps with picking up new instruments!
I don't know about you, but my immediate response to hearing music I don't particularly enjoy isn't to listen to all the music that artist has ever produced just to make sure.
There's 32 Barry Manilow studio albums. Do I have to listen to every one before I'm allowed to say I don't like his music? Just once, or do I have give them all a couple of plays to see if there's any growers?
I get that he's passionate (Jacob Collier this is, not Barry Manilow, although I'm sure he's passionate too), and hugely knowledgeable and blessed with a huge talent for understanding music. I find his enthusiasm and passion inspiring. I think his facility with music is testament to the benefits of knowing the mechanics and theory behind it, and I'd much rather a world with Jacob Collier in it than one without, I just don't enjoy his music.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
