Members DaveAronow Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Sometimes when I go into the shop some kid will play Bach or something through a cranked amp. To me that is disrespectful to the composer(s). Some people like to show off and think their brilliant because they can play bouree in E minor on electric. Thing is, I am really NOT trying to hurt your feelings here or be rude or whatever, but why do you think anyone is remotely interested on why you think some other persons's interpretation on music is disrespectful to the composer? It simply doesnt matter what Bach would think, A: He's dead, and B: He doesnt own the exclusive right to play and perform his own music. so, just because you believe what you believe and yo think everyone else should believe what you believe too, that is fine. Your big mistake is thinking anyone actually cares what you believe. Have a nice day. XbTzYX-hYKw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Saraceno's version of Bouree on electric was awesome How on earth is that disrespectful? I'm sure Bach would be proud to know that people still give a {censored}.

Members Cats-o-caster Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Why not play classics on electric guitar - acoustics also have steel strings, so we must play only on nylons? Hi gain for classic - no. There are nuff douches like Malmsteen around, no contribution to the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mutant_guitar Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm sure Bach would be proud to know that people still give a {censored}. exactly. If I was a composer, I'd be be pretty psyched if I found out people still perform and enjoy my music 300 years into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evh1984 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 I would like to think Bach would give a hearty "Hell Yeah" if he heard is music played through a cranked amp. You, sir, are correct. During his lifetime, JS Bach's pieces were assailed by some critics as being loud, fast and rude... all the things that make Rock-n-Roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danhan1113 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 There's nothing wrong with it; it just sounds better on classical guitar.That said, I would love to hear some pimply 13-year-old rip through Recuerdos. haha yeah or Chaconne. Or Capricho Arabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Boy Posted January 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 I have a couple years classical guitar training under my belt but it is not my 'forte' (drum roll? no?). Too much love for electric guitar here. Still, I love to play classical pieces on electric though more often on my acoustic-electric steel string. No disrespect at all. It is fun to play and the multiple running lines make for a fuller experience. But I refuse to play Pachebel's 'Canon in D' (see comedic video posted here somewhere). Playing those pieces on electric and steel-string acoustic must be rough on the finger nails, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuroyume Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Playing those pieces on electric and steel-string acoustic must be rough on the finger nails, eh? Sometimes. On the electric, you really don't have to 'attack' the strings as much so softer fingerpicking suffices. Because I don't 'play' classical these days, my fingernails are shorter than if I were so it is more fingertip with a bit of nail for clarity.

Members goth70 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Actually, Bach's music was assailed by some people for being too complicated and too old fashioned not for being too loud rude or fast. I think some of you are mistaking classical violin for classical guitar. People like Yngwie and and the Mike Varney crowd are imitating classical violinists not classical guitarists which is an entirely different animal. Classical guitar is dense and contrapuntal, there are not a whole lot of blazing single lines for the most part and when there are its usually a bunch of slurs.
