Va donc vouère l'album "So What" par Dave Grisman & Jerry Garcia. Miles Davis au banjo c'est pas rien !

Man I really like Mark O'Connors effect on the fiddle.

My day has already started and is every bit positive, but thanks a lot. As for musical education, I'm not formally trained, but I do know a bit of theory and having played guitar and listened a lot to (different kinds of) music for the past 20 years have enabled me to voice an educated opinion. Anyways, how about we leave it at you like Tony's solo work, I don't? Congrats upon your record deal and best of luck with your musical pursuits.

Well I'm sorry you feel that way. I enjoy the hell out of his playing. Maybe you're just not musically educated enough to enjoy what he's doing and that could be understandable. Do I play? Asking me if I play is like asking the pope if he prays. Yes sir, I play, well enough to have a major label record deal. You have a good day tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a bit more positive of a day for you than today was.

Overrated in the fact that his legend or pioneer status obstructs people in judging his music on its own terms. Once again, all I've said is I find his soloing repetitive and very little melodic (which is even observable, not just subjective opinion); however, I love his rhythm playing. Do you play?

xms32 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Overrated in the fact that he helped create the art of flatpicking? I wouldn't consider a legend overrated. He may not be as good as what is out their today (that's debatable) but that doesn't all of a sudden diminish his accomplishments to now being overrated. You can like who you like, that's your right, but don't be a smart ass punk like the rest of them on this site or most of us won't care to give two shits about your opinion.

No particular point. I just stated my opinion that I personally don't find Tony's solo playing all that interesting and that I think he is overrated. I believe this is an open forum, and we are allowed to share different opinions? I've not been aggressive, attacked anyone personally, just stated my opinion. If that offended you, my apologies to you, sir/madam.
