Although I initially wanted to say I wouldn't dignify this post with a reply, I changed my mind, as that itself would be a reply. And since I've already said this much, I might as well reply. Please, don't talk crap about something you know nothing about. Improvising in pentatonic scales with a rock band is much different and much less complicated than jazz improv. Jazz is the hardest musical genre to fully understand, because it breaks all the rules - yet it sounds musical. Admit it... Jazz is WAY over your head.

You've been making musically arrogant posts like this for many months now. Tell me, who are your top five musical influences? How close are you to understanding what they were all about? From this I can maybe get a decent understanding of where you are right now on your musical journey.

Are u serious?, well when you recorded somethin like "A love supreme", "Ascension", "Interstellar Space" give me a call, you can't go wrong with Mr Coltrane, he's not May for sure, so he's far away form him

Why should we get into a crappy band that is only remembered for silly hats and one hit wonder about masturbation.

Seriously, there are worlds of music that mightn't to your liking, peoples, but you have to learn when to at least appreciate the skills involved in creating it.

C'mon Caspar... are you going to insult everyone who considers that there's something better musically than John Coltrane? My utter most respect to John Coltrane for being such a brilliant musician and an undeniable influence not only on Jazz, but all the genres that derived from it. However, there are things I enjoy more than that. Am I going to be insulted for that?

Do you hold stocks in that lousy band or something? Fucking cut the bullshit about those tossers, please.

The same could be said about several guitar shredders out there, but it doesn't take any more than half a second for most people to dismiss them as &quot;boring&quot; or even &quot;untalented.&quot; It's all about personal preference, really.

Neither is Robbie Williams, but he still sucks.

I don't see what the closest thing to porn has to do with music...which is pretty much what he posted with the first link. The latter may not be porn, but is still hardly any better.

Not only is his music great, but his guitar tone is the closest thing you'll ever get to hearing a seraphic angel sing to you. That is, under the assumption that an angel's ability to sing is kick-ass. link And he can appeal to a pop audience, as well as the most musically critical audiophiles, all at once: link Basically, typing Eric Johnson into Youtube is one of the greatest things you can do in your life.
