Nope, they don't 'teach' it anywhere...and one man's 'soulful' can be another man's 'slick', so it's all just opinion as to who has what!
Hey John, no need to nuke the village. I've obviously hit a nerve for mentioning Berklee, so for that I am sorry. BTW - I had no idea that you studied there and my comment wasn't directed towards you personally. I was just using Berklee as an example. It's very hard to name an example and not offend someone.
As far as your comment about 'say it to my face', no problem there. I would have no issue with repeating anything that I have written in a face to face conversation over a cup of coffee. These are my'opinions' and I'm open to hearing the opinions of others and discussing them (even yours )
With that (and musical education) aside, who would you rather listen to:
Jimi Hendrix - or - Yngwie Malmsteen
Clarence White - or - Tony Rice
Robert Johnson - or - Keb Mo'
Bach - or - Mahler
Mstislav Rostropovich - or - Yo Yo Ma
Bill Monroe - or - Adam Steffey
Maria Callas - or -
All good, but I think you can see the difference that I'm pointing to.
And now for today's weather....sunny, with a chance of legs
