i faked it okay, but if she thinks about it, she will sense the subtle differences and my not-so-deft switch of conversation away from jw-type things.

Faked it? JW's fake it too.

Personally, I'm sick of fakes.

would you throw a pebble at a boulder.

in my contact with my witness family i am often confronted with several subjects that make me want to bite my lip and say to myself "don't bother!

" as i realize they would never listen to my thoughts anyway.

>>Why does speed make a guitarist's music better?

I don't think it makes it better, it makes it more challenging to perform along with stimulating the listeners ear. Fluidic speed (with artful finese) also has given someone like JS his own sound that is highly sought after as something worth imitating by others.

Same with some classical guitar pieces, which sometimes uses quick tempo interludes threading together some tight knit difficult to perform chordal arrangements. Challenging to perform, stimulating to listen to. It doesn't make it better per se.

In my opinion, a truly great guitar player is diverse. Though there are surely great players that stay in their own genre, of which I respect many.

blondie...too funny on the old. ...I'm no spring chicken, but never saw JJ or JH...slightly before my time.

Re multi genre...Don't forget jazz...

Personally, I think guitar greatness constitutes the most diversity of skill in multiple styles on the instrument. Each style carries it's weight of emotional content with it. The more styles a player can encapsulate, the more diverse his presentation of artistic emotion can be communicated to the listener.

There are only a FEW that fit that bill...

Ye of Little Faith

by Zechariah in

i am pained by the lack of faith by people on the board recently both in god and in general.. it is obvious that unbelievers in god would have such lack of faith.

but it is not confined to them alone but to others that though believers in god have little trust and confidence in him.. these of little faith constantly cry for proof and evidence both of god existence or in the case of bill bowens letter to the wts proof of govering body members guilt as child molesters.

they haven't the ability to believe or have faith without physical evidence.. one of my main mentors is tv minister fred price which i watch every sunday morning.

One cannot have faith unless God gives it out.

Faith is fruitage of the Spirit, not of man.

Saw Hendrix live? Hmmm. You must be old......

I believe the criteria for "greatest guitarist" would have to be individuals that have cross genre capabilities and how well they master each of the techniques for performing each style. That narrows down the "greatest" by quite a bit.
