Very cool. I bought a Jamman looper with dreams of doing stuff like the guy in your link Krysh. Maybe I'm just too old to figure out how it all works. This kinda inspired me to give it another go however. Watch out world!krysh said:no, it's an artform:

Hi Scott,scott said:Hi- I perform quite a bit at many different venues and functions; I would never use loops or any other technology except an amp-with very little reverb. If you have to use these artificial devices to sound good maybe you should practice more. Nothing is nicer than listening to a musician work in conjunction with his/her instrument-at any technical level. I have seen many performers Kottke, JD, JT, Fahey, Legg numerous times and many others. If they were using loops, their credibility would be in question. Haven't music awards been taken back for this same thing? One aspect of their craft that made them so special in the first place is what they can/could do without technology. Has music gotten better with the use of technology? Maybe another topic.

So do I, but then again, I think soap operas are lame, social networks are lame, organized religion is lame, reality shows are lame... or in other words: The masses are lame.jmac said:I think Karaoke at bars is lame.
There it is: the old bottom line, perfectly stated! :wink:bluesypicky said:In conclusion, anyone has the right to say " I like this" or "I dislike this", but not making judgment calls on someone's integrity or skill level, based on the path taken to achieve the desired result. :wink:
d) Strongly agree.bluesypicky said:So do I, but then again, I think soap operas are lame, social networks are lame, organized religion is lame, reality shows are lame... or in other words: The masses are lame.
But point is "the masses" are the ones throwing the money in crap they want to do, hear or watch. :roll:

And a guitar is a guitar, be it acoustic or electric, they haven't changed much over the years either, which makes the Picasso anaolgy all the more relevant, with all due respect.scott said:Picasso comparison is apples and oranges; the painter is still using paint and brushes- those haven't changed much over the years.
I know, bro. But a couple of Scott's other points do have merit, about technology opening up new avenues for artistic expression. I'll reiterate my distinction about the difference between using your own material and pre-canned stuff as one of the differences between art and "product", and close with the observation that Hendrix was an unrecovered gadget addict. :wink:bluesypicky said:And a guitar is a guitar, be it acoustic or electric, they haven't changed much over the years either, which makes the Picasso anaolgy all the more relevant, with all due respect.scott said:Picasso comparison is apples and oranges; the painter is still using paint and brushes- those haven't changed much over the years.
And no can of worms here, just an interesting adut conversation. (Except for Al's posts of course) :lol: :lol:

Surely that's a decision borne out by the results that he prefers and not based on a philosophy or notions of "purity".scott said:Joe Pass would not even use a flatpick as he thought it detracted from his tone.
Oh... I agree with that... and I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll find painters using manure spreaders to achieve their piece...adorshki said:But a couple of Scott's other points do have merit, about technology opening up new avenues for artistic expression.
