Who is the best guitarist of all time??

Dude. Sorry. But that's pretty strange. And as a result, I'm probably not gonna reply or have a conversation with you anymore because you'll ignore what I say simpy because YOU CHOSE to think you're eating bullshit, when really you have no indication one way or the other that this is the case.

What strange thinking.

One poster: I play the guitar, and I like to play Metallica.

Other poster: NO YOU DON'T. I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU!

EDIT: In a nutshell...

DON'T KNOCK BUTTON PUSHING AN KNOB TURNING...it's ridiculous! There is AS MUCH talent in that as there is in playing an instrument or transcribing...it's just that the talent IS DIFFERENT.

Bach does his thing...Segovia does his thing...and Alan Wilder does his thing. You can't say one is greater than the other or requires more talent than the other. They're phenomenal achievements in their own way.

What? that makes no sense. What you are claiming to be able to do HAS BEARING ON OUR ARGUMENT. that dumb two sentence thing you just wrote is different. If you say 'I can compose, I have transcribed music', THAT HAS BEARING, becuase then you can argue that what segovia did was'nt all that great. Even if you have those talents did you ever transcibe a Bach fugue, or violin solo, or chello concerto? The answer is probably 'no'. You, need to stop and think. Get it? Whether you compose or not has bearing on the subject at hand.

Great...I'm just making a point of how ridiculous and UNFOUNDED your reaction is. The ONLY reason you have for not believing me is that...YOU JUST DON'T.

ENOUGH SO that you're calling me a liar. Unbelievable

Do I have to exaplain to you how silly that is?

Anyway whatever dude. That's your little bag.

So anyway...about the rest of my answer...

Never called you a liar, man. Just stated the fact that you could be lying. I'm not out to make you seem like A liar or bring you down. Seriously, I'm not a gullible person. Since when has being gullible a virtue? As for your argument, you dont have one. Youre just assuming. I have given you mine already.

Go play guitar with a flange pedal make good msuic- you're capable of that. Me too
Transcribe MASTERPIECES from violin and cello to guitar. - you said you can do that.

According to you you've alreadly disproved my argument. Because you can say that one doesnt require more talent than another, since you've done both. Apparently Virtuosos spend all day arguring about music with guys like me, right?

Oh yeah VVD and AC are on my ass because I wont give into their high school logic skills or praise thier intellect.

I'm not on, or near, your ass, you disturbing fool.

The phenomenon to which you refer was in fact you making a mistake, avoiding the blame and then taking the shame.

Shame for a misunderstanding, nah. Misunderstandings happen all the time. Shame is feeling of disgrace, and you and AC talking BS is hardly worthy of inducing that feeling. As for disturbing, you're the arrogant whelp who thinks what you said made any sense.

The mistake you made there, is this.

You admit you lacked sense.

Then you attempt to attribute that to me- doesn't really work.

Possibly the only person I've seen both concede and continue arguing the same point.

(I replied to the post before you panic-edited it; a nice contrast).

I admitted I misread something. I 'conceded' ? No I simply admitted to making vague statement, which caused confusion. Even if the statement was clarified, you and AC argued over something that had been said, which was clarified time and time again, even BEFORE it was asked to be clarified. One can only point out the same thing before it gets tiring. Basically I got tired of you two not seeing the obvious. The sad thing is that you actually believe you 'won' the 'argument'.
Yeah I made grammar edit. Wow. You're an idiot.

You can shut up now if you want.

You said I'm "ignorant" of "how much talent, skill and dedication that would take". I'm NOT ignorant of it because I know what transcribing entails from actually DOING it. I haven't transcribed Bach, but I realize how hard it could be and how much talent it would take.

I'm sorry to say, but it is YOU that are ignorant for diminishing how much talent and hard work it takes to use technology in creative, innovative, and most importantly, very musical ways.

It seems you have diverted this argument because I totally smoked you with my examples, and aren't even commenting on what I said regarding talent and ability being found in different areas.

'Totally smoked' me....hmm. If you have it made up in your mind that you 'smoked' me then this argument is over. You've won, in your mind. I feel no need to argue with another person who's main objective is to 'smoke' another, to the point where there are desperate leaps in logic comparable to the span of the Grand Canyon. So, once you finish your victory march, I will continue this argument if you wish.

Great, another thread ruined by stupid people.

Yey, its the intellectual megalodon himself. He decided to enlighten me again. Thanks a lot AC, what would modern thought do without your celestial input?

No need for the compliments, but I'm thankful you think that.

Stop being so insecure and stop being an idiot whenever anyone replies to you.

Yeah ok. You make me insecure. I tremble at the thought of your massive intellectual aura.

Who said anything about me making you insecure?

Oh, you, nobody else.

Yeah well, you obviously think you have. You know for somebody who was pathetic enough to PM me bitching about 'beef', is that how you put it? You seem to be really trying you hardest to create some kind of internet fight here. Listen you're helping 'ruin this thread ' RIGHT NOW. Why don't we both shut up and let the board get back to what it was intended for. K?

You're right, this is a personal issue, best resolved via PMs.
