Members MetalJon Posted November 17, 2009 Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 I am sure he is very knowledgeable and has great chops. But ripping Frusiante is bush league. For the record I am not really even a peppers fan. He has written nothing even close to the vacinity of JF in terms of musical importance or originality. Until he does comments like those do nothing to improve his credibility. If he is so great he should understand this. Does Andy Summers suck too? Or for that matter Buddy Guy? I guess George Harrison was pretty crap too cause he can't sweep pick a minor seven arp at 200bpm I only said that Tom is creative and has an excellent grasp of music theory. I never jumped to defend him ripping RHCP, even though I laughed when I saw that segment of the video. I couldn't care less if he insults Frusciante.

Members jeremy_green Posted November 17, 2009 Members Share Posted November 17, 2009 I laughed too ... but it was more in a "That's embarrassing for Hess" kind of way. Actually the funnier part was when that kid couldnt play "a little lighter" Ha! I thought Hess was going to blow his lid. THAT was reeeeealy funny.

I think though that Hess's music is comically mechanical. So if you just want bionic chops, go. EVERYTHING ELSE about music, involves some kind of music. You learn to operate your instrument so you can play it - music that is. What kind of material do you do? Gigs? What's your default performance level? If you have any of these concerns, forget Hess. I'm glad someone said this. It needed to be said. Also, Tom Hess is the Anton Lavey of guitar. But that's secondary to his massive cheese factor and bionic chops. Kinda' like the Conlon Nancarrow of guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you grated cheese all over a drum machine and then overbaked it in the oven. Personally I like guitar that sounds like a guitar, - he doesn't seem to cater for this and to be honest I think he'd find it hard to teach anything but 'chops' and economy styles by correspondence. Luke, That's the funniest thing I read or heard in days. And I mean that as in sincerely, genuinely funny. Thank you for the good, hearty laugh. I needed it, even if Hess didn't.I just watched your lesson on your site. Nice teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
