"I wish I could play like that,......then I wouldn't."
I find myself thinking that a lot lately. Mostly while watching youtube videos. Sure there are some amazingly talented players out there, but really. There is a lot of I'mgonnaplayingwaytomanynotesinanattempttoimpresseveryotherplayerwhomightlistentome going on.
What ever happened to good taste?
Just my thought for the day.

Bill -
I share your sentiments wholeheartedly. Of the current crop of acknowledged monster players, I must give a nod to Buck Reid - to name but one - for taste and conception. The "less is more" approach is alive and well even though we might have to do some digging in order to find it. It's a shame that there isn't a whole bunch more of it.
Respectfully,
Richard
