any comments on this? I love his playing, and i think its interesting what he is doing here, but dont think it would be ok if someone less
accomplished than him were to do it. Why is that? He seems to have a wide spectrum of capabilities with the instrument; playing compositions with an
ensemble, delicately playing solo maqam, and....this
any thoughts?SamirCanada - 8-1-2014 at 05:23 PM
Yeah he is a beast, one of my favorite players. Also he is blind
by the way, this particular video highlights playing that most definitely the furthest thing from the classical arabic style which he is much better
versed in. this of course is my opinion, some people may have enjoyed this creative style of playing but for me that isnt what I like about him. Chris_Stephens - 8-1-2014 at 09:24 PM
That explains a lot. I had no idea, i thought he just rolled his eyes back because he was so into the music. He is one of my favorites too, such a
range of sounds he can make, harmonics and pinching, i've never heard anyone else to those things. ameer - 8-2-2014 at 11:31 AM
I really don't get this. When he plays the cords or that random tremolo'd note it sounds like he's playing a badly set-up electric guitar. Is there
more than one instrument involved or something?
