Members phoenix_76 Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 Originally posted by jrak I have self condidence and I'm sorry if I demonstrated a lack of humilty but you all are wrong, I am good, if you don't like my music we probably have different tastes and I may likely think you suck I think a lot of you are expecting me, or anyone else really, to play with the same sensibilities as you come to play with but that is not the case I don't know what you experience when you go to www.soundclick.com/howlinmagic but I hear a pretty kick ass song( I just changed it so a song plays when you got the page and added a couple since the reaction to my previous art has been so overwhelmingly positive) if you don't we don't like the same type of music . Hi Jrak, I doubt you are a bad person and having confidence is a good thing in the music business. The quality/merit of your music is not the issue. The reason you have come across as the jerk in this thread is that you have failed to respect that other people's opinions are theirs and they are entitled to it without having to get into a mud-slinging contest with you. You have made assumptions of peoples talents without even seeing what they have to offer and that makes you come across as petty.I fully respect you and anyone who has the dedication to record music and circulate it for internet strangers to listen to/rate. However, it comes with the territory that you have to be able to take the criticism and/or plaudits with grace. Criticism should be used to sharpen your music skills and not embitter you with hate for people you've never met or ever likely to meet. I think JCN and some others were trying to make that point to you. I'd listen because it'll make you a better musician in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris normally, when something sucks, we just dont say anything, but Jrak just brought this {censored} on himself.It sounded like two brothers I know who I give lessons to. They've been playing for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recorded some covers recently and by recording them I already found out myself where I was lacking. I play a pretty damn tight metal rhythm guitar, and I play with mucho 'balls', but there's ALWAYS room to learn. Even for guys like EVH, Satriani, etc. Seriously, shred doesn't mean 'soulless wanking' perse!And playing slow doesn't equal 'soulful' all the time. There are fast players that play with lots of feel and soul (Al DiMeola, Slash, Randy Rhoads)and there are slow players that lack 'tone' and stuff (you.) (and vice versa ofcourse, Malmsteen vs. BB King for instance) Instead of hiding behind the "this is my music, I love it, and if you don't like it, you suck" attitude, take criticism from different people. I'm a metal guy mostly, but I'd kill for some Nashville banjo/country chops. I can respect such musicians AND still hear whether they're good or not. Now I don't like the kinda music you like and play, but even so, I can still tell a good player in that style from a bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stick around dude, we've only just begun. this guy is way worse.Kestral would never post ugly curly pic of himself and claim to 'look good'.But yeah, stick around. I lost my favourite object of public flogging in Holland (some retarded bitch that was selling a Boss BCB6 case for way too much and acted really stupid and aggressive in her emails),so I can use a new guy.

Members Jaymeister Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think jrak is EVH Sound, an equally overconfident, yet inept troll whose posting of clips resulted in his downfall and subsequent banishment from the amp forum to Open Jam.
