Members ajympt Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 You know, I'm not a violent person, but if I ever hear anyone use the phrase "weak sauce" in my presence they are going to get a smack upside the head on general principles.

Members joel Oporto Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hahahaha This is the stupidest argument on guitar playing ever!!!! Ever since frets became "fixed" on lutes in the baroque/ rococco period, lutist and vihuela players have employed appoggiatura and acciaccatura techniques in music!!! Stuff that cannot readily be played with the same feel and character by other instruments other than guitars and stringed instruments. This is like a "cause" to limit the capabilities of the instrument. It's like: An argument between apoyando(rest stroke) or tirano(free stroke) Arpeggiated chord vs. Block chord playing. Rubato or "A Tempo" playing and that's just Classical guitar playing. In the world of steel string guitars(electrics and acoustic) that's like disregarding a whole type of music and instrument playing!!! Can you imagine Blues slide or bending as "weak sauce"" hahaha!!!! Maybe he also thinks that using an amplifier just amplifies the guitar sound and is also "weak sauce" in terms of technique and a players' ability to produce sound volume from an instrument!!! The amplifier is integral to the sound of certain players, just as effects are, and that doesn't make them "weak sauce"!!! Any midi programmer will tell you that the hardest part of guitar playing to recreate in a midi instruments are those " legato"(which is not the right terminology really) notes because each individual will have his unique "time stretch" of the note played, and the easiest to recreate is the picking of every single note!!!! The reason why we love our instrument (guitar) so much is that the playing technique is constantly being updated as to the music we play. It is still growing so much. To name certain techniques as "weak sauce" is to put limits on the possibilities of the Instrument and disregard musical avenues for the instrument. I hereby pronounce this line of thinking (to putting limits on the possibilities of the instrument) as "THE WEAK SAUCE MENTALITY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
