"It might get loud"... (Page 2 of 2)

I don;t see your point here Eva, music comes in many different ways. This sounds like a good example of showing how different approaches on the same instrument can yield such different results.

That´s what I said in my next posts as well. The first post was just a wee bit ironic in order to provoke a discussion ...

I do think that Jimmy´s skills are above the level of the other two though. That´s my opinion and I´m sticking to it.

I think we get hung up on skills a little too much. The point should be that someone can take a guitar and make it sound good. Seasick Steve does a good Job of this while having limited skills. Neil Young would be another not very skilled but fantastic player. The point I'm making I suppose is that the Edge has his sound, Jack White has his. I'll say again we all get hung up on skills and technique. All though these are important there are many artists out there who have minimum skills and technique but are very good to listen to.

Yes, we can agree on that.
I tried to explain in one longer post on page 1 what it is about Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin that I´m missing in the other two and that´s actually not based on skills. It is a subjective thing though ... other people might feel the same way about U2 or the White Stripes. If you look at technique, Joe Satriani probably has a better technique than Jimmy Page - but the result is not the same for me ... it´s a commonplace that music is more about the feeling than about the technique, but still it´s true. The good mixture of technique and feeling is what makes a good song for me ...

Seasick Steve - I love watching what he does, but I can´t say that I´m listening to the album too often..
