Paco de Lucia, Isaac Albeniz, or even Gabriella y Rodrigo. when it comes to classical I really get lost in the music. Then I pick up the acoustic and play the same three chords for hours.
Paco is the man,my old eye's cant even keep up with his fingers he's so fast,what a player he is,a true living master.

Ever checked out the album he did entitled "Friday Night in San Francisco" ?,he plays with Al Di-meola & John Mcglaughlin on the album .

classics suck
Tell us why classical sucks .

While classical music may very well suck it's hard to take away from the genius behind the compositions,something that the new generation of computer generated back beats & prefabbed tough guy lyrics has killed,the young generation has lost the ability to appreciate sound musicianship or compositional ability for what it is,enjoying rap is one thing but when the love of spoke word causes an entire generation to loose sight of how music is written, or the skill level needed to write a peice of serious music,at that point permanent damage has been done to generations of musicians/composers for generations to come.

You can thank rap for this,tough/cool videos have replaced musicianship,back beats with a bass track that can reach 160spl have replaced the need to be able to read or write music, or understand music theory.

Do you even know what an "Octave" is without using google,or how about a "Unison",these are the 2 simplest intervals in any music,this was taught & understood to 5th grade classes in public schools for decades.

Again do you even know why classical music sucks,other than you dont like it, or because it dont get you all geeked up from listening to explosive bass tracks at obscene spl levels ? How about the relation of watt vs db vs sound pressure levels ?

Now go put on some gangsta rap & leave music apprecation to the grown up's.

"You can thank rap for this,tough/cool videos have replaced musicianship,back beats with a bass track that can reach 160spl have replaced the need to be able to read or write music, or understand music theory"

absolutely agree 100% definitely tip the scales 4 you.

I have been involved around music all my life.
I have a brother in Juilliard and a sister who plays piano. I try to play guitar. When I mean try I mean I can play anything on the radio or simple tab. They both laugh and tell me I will never learn the guitar until I understand Music theory.
Again my first post on this thread were for my suggestion on classical guitarist. For the simple fact that everything has its roots and beginning. Look at some of the worlds greatest guitarist and you will see theory in their background.

Then look at fashion music eg. Nickleback. Same chord progression for every song and when you take the glitz and glamor out. the music blows.

http://www.classtab.org/ is an impressive introduction to classical music theory.

Now not to say I load the bowl and all i listen to is classical.
I just like to appreciate the art.

I personally like metal. Deftones sums it up.

taichovsky=composer

"rites of spring" =song
I have this ballet on dvd

It's badass

however the composer is Stravinsky

unless Tchaikovsky has something else called Rite of Spring...which I don't think he does


Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev is a sweet ballet as well

I really dig classical music, because if you were to take it and toss a distortion pedal on half the stringed instruments it'd be METAL \m/

haha, I remember reading a study that connects the personality traits of people who like metal with people who like classical

It is true though, to some degree. Metal is a bit more dissonant but look in even the most extreme metal bands there is classical influence.
