god i fukn hate jazz... sry im trying to get into it in hope that it will help me develope my piddling music theory but it just sounds so gay! sry 4 being close minded i guess but i just dont get it :(

I figure he's ... ( 9 months ago by paulhcan)

I figure he's saying they find it more difficult to identify the underlying pulse of a piece of music, or rather they find it difficult a lot of the time. It's quite a common stumbling block for many students I teach; unless they can hear a four four beat on a drum or click track, they don't identify it being there at all.

I suppose wearing leather with your chest on show, pouting while you play guitar and having big hair isn't at all gay, in your book ?

Its stupid that Al ... ( 9 months ago by VmShan)

Its stupid that Al Di Meola makes a simplistic comment of "asian : not too likely" to get the abstract rhythmic patterns which is internal and intrinsic. This guy can spend all his life only learning a fraction of "World of TaLa" in Indian classical music. This guy is a novice. The real masters are else where, Ravi Shankar, Zakir Hussain, Vilayat Khan, Ali Akhbar Khan, U Srinivas... Empty vessels make more noise... how true...!

he would not last ... ( 9 months ago by VmShan)

he would not last an hour competing with even the decent musicians of south Indian classical music, in their rhythmic trips in the concerts. He himself would never be able to get get the track of the fast variation which some of such masters can make.

ya actrually that is pretty gay, as is the cliche' itself u just threw at me...

Al Di Meola is a novice? Are you for real? Listen to his album "Land Of The Midnight Sun" recorded in 1976. He was amazing even then. This guy is one of the best fusion guitarists alive today.

Not to demean Al Di ... ( 9 months ago by gooddeal241)

Not to demean Al Di Meola. But "playing against the time" doesn't sound too good to my ears. Personal preference. I prefer to play w/ the time. :)
Nice PRS Guitar.

why di meola play ever the same liks?

can't argue with ... ( 9 months ago by stargate669)

can't argue with you there but music isn't a competition. It's there for enjoyment and the more you're open to and understand including rhythm or tala as you say the better. I listen to Britney Spears every day trying to find the true meaning of her songs. I hope in 60 years to have some understanding.

totally apple. ... ( 9 months ago by stargate669)

totally apple. Elegant gypsy is great too almost as good as `I open my legs for love' by Britney Spears.

Actually, I'm a student of Ali Akbar Khan and I think Al Dimeola could get the hang of it. If John Mclaughlin can do it, so can Al. it's very true that indian classical music is by far the most complex.

maybe he plays "against the time" because he can't play with the time...

Stopthatnoise: Me too: I too don't understand this childishness to compare this and that by Al Di Meola.

Oh my God, You are ... ( 9 months ago by VmShan)

Oh my God, You are a student of Ustaad Ali Akbar Khan ! I am honored. But Sahab, see coming from the great (asia)pedigree how would one feel if some one dismisses simplistically that you don't even qualify? Sir, with due regards to you with this attitude, Al cannot learn it at all. Do you go to your Ustaad, thinking he is dumb? I know even Yehudi Menuhin could learn about TALA. But both he and McLaughin sat at the feet of RaviShankar with humility to learn it Honor to correspond with you Sir.

Indian music is ... ( 8 months ago by flyingredd)

Indian music is completely weird to western ears like mine. It probably is harder, and players need a better ear (can't you move the frets on the indian = to guitar?) but to us, in the west, it just sounds out of tune because all your scales are half a semitone higher than our nearest equivalent. PS i like your weirdly formal english!

Oh come on he said ... ( 8 months ago by flyingredd)

Oh come on he said the same about europeans! Ridiculous nationalism...

I have to say that ... ( 8 months ago by Maugister)

I have to say that more I hear him talk the less respect I have for the guy...
