I just don't understand alot of it. I don't hate it. I love music and play guitar (nothing great) but classical is to complex for me usually.
That's only your intimidation talkin, get over it and your guitar playing will reach new heights. I hear the Paganini influence on Justin Richardson. He was a 19th Century violin virtuoso who liked to push boundaries.
You are right of course. I have JR's instructional vids, he preaches practice practice and more practice. I know Paganini is a huge influence on modern players. Adam De Micco from Lorna Shore is another guitarist heavily influenced by classical and Paganini in particular.
I don't listen to pop never have. I don't hate classical as I said I just find it too complex at times to really get into. I am trying though.
It wasn't the people that turned me off it was the horrible sound of the Money Pit. They had a world class conductor in Jukka Pekka and he left in frustration. Money was thrown at RTH to improve the sound quality; the concrete was covered up and the ground floor was turned into a shell. I hadn't gone to a concert in almost a decade when I decided to check it out. The sound had improved but it was still nowhere near the acoustics of The Symphony Center in Chicago and never will be. Chicago has the best orchestra in North America.
Do you remember what happened to Radar? He shows up at Rosie's Bar proud of himself and completely disheveled.
