Guitar Tips and Little Secrets
There are little secrets that can't be taught with tabs, notes or while playing. Here are some of them:
Jazz and Scales
In our previous discussion [Guitar Peaks] you mentioned several jazz guitar players. A lot of rock and blues guitarists are attracted to jazz, as a later stage of their development as musicians.
The New Technology and the Music Industry
- There are a lot of changes in the approach to music and music production. Do they have any impact on guitarists?
- Of course they have. New technology always brought good things and bad things.
- One of the bad things is the free downloading from the net.
- It’s not bad-only. Of course, people consider it stealth and they are right. But what about the CDs’ prices? The music companies got crazy. I don’t feel any pity for them. Anyway, they’re making a lot of money from ringtones and all kinds of things. And they made billions selling music till now.

Contemporary Music
- In our last conversation [Shred], you didn't seem too fond of contemporary music.
Awards and Licks
- Who's the greatest guitarist?
- I'm pretty certain there is not such an animal. You see, worthy guitarists and worthy artists, in general, create works of art that are unique... Being unique, there's no common basis that allows comparing them. That's why awards are such bullshit! And that includes Grammies, Oscars and Nobel prizes.
- But there must be a certain selection.
