Dude-
you need to lighten up. I just felt it was not the correct choice of comparison. Whats the big deal......Seems like your ego is the one that got slapped....Not mine.
ok sitarmac, fair enough. I just thought it was odd you were being critical on me rather than just saying "I think a better choice would be" or "I would pick". It was just a little too short and to the point for me not to take it personally when I feel like people are always attacking me for the wrong reasons in this place.
enough said, we both have ego's, we both have been slapped, we will call it a communication breakdown.. no harm done.
I just listened to the clip and I do know it. In fact, I play my own version of this all the time because it really helps me with my finger picking.
I think he is like one of those actors that everyone knows to see but, doesnt know his name. So, everyone knows the songs but, just dont know the name behind them. I guess I should know this because of my guitar playing but whatchya gon'do.
Still though, I cant say yes or no to the Nikhil compare for this guy because well, I just dont know enough about him yet. But, I think I understand where youre coming from with it and if it suits you than cheers to that.
Myself, I was just using the more famous classic guitar players that most laypeople would know.
I also still stick behind my Nikhil - Clapton compare choice
I think that it is a very big compliment to make for both of them. You see, I think that Clapton has this type of "grace" "soul" and "smoothness" to him that puts him on top of most of the other players. Clapton is also very well rounded for many styles and to me has a type of "class" that most others dont have.
Now from what I have heard of the Nikhil stuff I have so far. This seems to be a perfect match.
I must say that Clapton isnt my favorite guitar player.However, I do actually respect him more than I do my favorite players... and you may not know it but out of all the players I chose... Nikhil got the top choice for all around player. The hightest compliment. This is because even though I have only heard a little bit if Nikhil, I can already tell that he probably is the best "all around" sitar player that I have heard so far. Even better than my favorite Ravi Shankar. In fact, I think Nikhil may be catching up to Ravi for my favorite. Time will tell.
Now come on... what do others think? You cant just agree or disagree with my picks. Im sure you have you own picks or would re-arrange the choices I made?
where is Guitar player Tom? Im sure he would have some good choices.
lets do this,,, who would you chose for lets say.. basketball players?
jordan, L Bird, Magic, Rodman, Kareem Abdul, etc...
I would probably match up Ashwin Batish with Rodman. :wink: hehehehe
but, Im not going to touch the others.
