The Logic Off Topic list

You sad f***ers!
You all sound like fifty-year-old teenagers.
To copy someone note for note is the reason why the music business is full of TRIBUTE bands.
Write your own songs and play your own guitar parts - if they're good enough, people will pay money to hear you play.

Well Graeme I can't speak for these other guys but personally I have 
written hundreds of songs.  And played on several albums by my own 
bands, dozens of albums by other people, as well as movie and TV 
sound tracks and TV commercials.

I don't find learning other people's songs and guitar parts demeaning 
at all.   I find it educational.

But I suppose you have probably done much better and know much better 
than any of us "sad f***er's"  how to move ahead in the biz so do 
please share some of your vast experience and wisdom.

LOL. You MoFos need to grow-up, old farts, ;-).
Seriously, he needs to mature, ;-).
It's not copying notes. It's finding the elegance of how the notes were played

Talking about old fart music: I was listening to an old album of that little midget from Meneapolis, Prince. There is a keyboard riff in the song "Head"(hmm, talking about teenagers) on the album "Dirty Mind". I  said to myself: "Why wouldn't I think of such a riff when playing keys?" It's very easy and very effective to keep the funkyness going in that song. Without that riff, the song is completly boring

Words from an old teenager,

Hey "you sad f***ers" didn anyone mention David Gilmour? I deleted a bunch of this thread, so excuse me if he has already been up here :)  Now I'm sitting here learning the guitar parts of old Pink Floyd songs for a cover band party and it just hit me how cool this musician is! 

Per Boysen / between teenager and fifty ;)

You obviously totally ignore my postings then as I never talk guitarists
without mentioning Dave Gilmour.

By the way, in my list of great solos I said Steve Howe - Sound Chaser from
Relayer. I actually meant the track Awaken from Going For The One. The way
he just controls the feedback at the right point, and the notes he plays.
Fan bloody tastic.

And to the sad f**ck**, well it looks like you got the response you wanted.
What's up, did you get ignored as a child?!

Since we're talking the most inaccurately covered song's in 
music history, I nominate 'Kiss' from Prince. I've never been in or 
seen a band that played this song properly. Not talking about the 
progression (it's essentially a blues), but the voicing of the 
chords.

If you call any album from Prince "old", then you're surely too young :-).

"Old" is calling King Crimson's "Beat" and "Discipline" the "new King 
Crimson" (as opposed to KC from 'Red' and such) -- as I caught myself 
doing this week.

Since when is a song about blow jobs "boring"? Maybe musically, but you 
need to read the lyrics too.
