Fran Carango Senior Member Registered: 05/26/99 Posts: 9673 Loc: Levittown, Pa, USA	Originally Posted By Dnj The negativity just never stops Dang it Donny, You made me go back and listen again .. I wanted to see if I was responding negatively I notice that Turner used synth sounds.. I think your posted video was trying to sound like a synth.. If so guitar was the wrong patch to use.. It resembled a synth play more than a guitar. The pitch bending was annoying, not musical. I read the comments.. on the video.. I sure must be missing something.. I disliked it (not the instrument, but the performance, sound wise). _________________________ www.francarango.com

bruno123 Senior Member Registered: 06/04/02 Posts: 4912 Loc: West Palm Beach, FL 33417	My thoughts: “The negativity continues” Yes it does. When anyone opens with “the best” and they do not have “the best’, they are left uncomfortable. Without giving the criteria for the judgement, “the best” could have man meanings. “Mine is better than yours”, “yours can not do what mine does”, “wow, look at me, I know how to pick em”. What about the person who really wanted one, but did not have the means to buy one – he is being reminded he does not have “the best”. Or possibly myself, who love my Sx900, it covers all areas, for me it is “the best” for me. It is like my neighbor telling me he has “the best” car on the block. I believe that the Genos is the best, but not in all areas, or else it would be in my home. I want to hear every demo that comes out, who knows what I might do. I am asking that you take my post as a love note from someone who does not want to hurt people he cares for. I just had to vent my feelings. I care, John C.

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Well you can't change the exact name of the song? But as usual the negativeness takes it South once again... I would say it's more jealousy of the talent that this guy has and playing a piece like this shredding that guitar in ways most here cannot, top that with because .. (except Don M)...

cgiles Senior Member Registered: 09/29/05 Posts: 6703 Loc: Roswell,GA/USA	Well, at the risk of raising the ire of the 'negativity' police, I thought it sounded terrible, especially the lead voice. As far as the 'talent' performing the tune, if that's an example of 'shredding', then I have had a total misunderstanding of the use of the word all these years. Marco Parisi 'shredds', this person, definitely not. Not a knock on the machine, which I'm sure can do anything a talented person wants it to do, but I thought the arrangement also left a lot to be desired. JMO. Not trying to anger anybody. If I like something (always subjective, remember that), I am quick to say so, no matter who posts it. I think everyone has a right to a legitimate opinion without being labelled as 'negative'. We don't always have to agree on EVERYTHING. chas _________________________ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." [Nietzsche]

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	TBH - I didn't know the song, by name, so I thought it was a boastful Yamaha ad. Didn't care for it much, but didn't hate it either. Then I found out it was a clever marketing trick to use the words "Simply the Best" ... so, now I get it. They made us watch, so ... mission accomplished, right? _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

bruno123 Senior Member Registered: 06/04/02 Posts: 4912 Loc: West Palm Beach, FL 33417	Donny, I hated what he was doing with the Genos. Distortion, repeated notes, and the list goes on. It was terrible. To me, it was not music. BUT, if I were younger I might have a different opinion. I remember Harry James, and Frank Sinatra, the accordion and polkas, In my best time I could not relate to what I heard. So my opinion is not the same as yours. It’s from a different time. So, most of our statements are not meant to hurt the other guy, we have just forgotten that we have different opinions because---??? Love you my wacky friend, John C.

bruno123 Senior Member Registered: 06/04/02 Posts: 4912 Loc: West Palm Beach, FL 33417	Donny, I start playing guitar in 1946, I used it to make a living – I owned guitars valued well over $50,000.00, and more than one. The way we search for the best keyboard I searched for the best guitar. I used a D’Aquesto guitar on the job. Sold it, got enough money to buy a new SUV. Now you tell me I must keep an open mind to what I am hearing???? You must be kidding. John C.
