Taike....I suppose if it wasn't so important (and frustrating) to me, I would have taken it "with a grain of salt." What happened here was....I've been trying to find Jerry Lee transcriptions for a few years now as I want to incorporate it in my performances. I finally read on a web site last week that for some odd reason, his music does NOT get posted anywhere. Only lead sheets. His actual playing is not available in any way shape or form.....probably because it's almost impossible to transcribe coherently what he does. With that in mind, I posted here as one of my few options left. I was over the moon when I first saw so many replies. You know the rest...
Mark - had you posted this quote first, I think the responses would have been more on-topic and to your liking.
One thing a new member needs to learn about the SZ is that this is a very knowledgeable but, at times, irreverent group. Many of us like to CHAT here in addition to discussing music issues. Though I live in Michigan I can communicate with "friends" I've made here from Pennsylvania, California, Florida and around the world.
I'm afraid you walked into the ZONE not knowing just what to expect. Lighten up, and I'm sure your future posts will go well. One last thought - some of those useless posts you refer to are actually great references to Jerry and his style. AND, I also agree that watching and listening to JLL music is the best way to imitate it. Now if you're not a visual or auditory learner, that could be a problem.
Peace on the SZ,
Cass
ps - glad you liked my musicrobot reference.
