Ever notice, especially with the electric guitar, that people make weird idiosyncratic "tiddlywinks" sounds that are like nervous twitches? ... and that these anomalous sounds are picked up and copied by millions of insecure guitar players? Well it has reached epidemic proportions! :-)
The core of their insecurity is a result of being indoctrinated into musical slavery rather than the freedom that comes as a result of learning from a bona fide maestro, as I did from Leonard Bernstein and others. This insecurity is obvious as people "monkey see monkey do" instead of playing from the heart and mind. Otherwise why would someone copy another artist of any medium who, for example, has turned "stuttering" into part of a style? Sure "Stuttering John" from the Howard Stern show got to be an announcer for the Tonight Show, but we don't see people purposefully stuttering in order to help their comedy. In the same way, to see people acting out by musically copying others to the point of including their "handicaps", which then gets copied over and over by other "riff copiers trying to cheat themselves out of learning how to speak for themselves musically" until the sporatically stuttering, terrets syndromed, over tiddlywinking players become the new standard.....this seems expecially the case in blues and jazz these days. Mediocrity has a lot of company and being better is lonely..
If you are interested in truly expressing yourself musically from the heart using a medium of the exact science of music instead of speculation, superstition, blaming on "wrong dna" or whatever BS people tell themselves while playing weird nervous musical ticks (in and around their copied songs) in front of their drunken friends who are patronizing them.... in other words if you want to finally let go and be musically free to take your inner self to the highest levels of emotional expesssion and realization through music, then contact me here, and I will give you many days of FREE Skype Guitar lessons .
