Sorry, but that's just not how originality works.luka2807 wrote: You have to learn as much as possible about how other artists are creating their own music, and then you are ready to find your trade mark sound.
Look at the thousands of guitar players being educated in clone factories such as the GIT - do they have a unique sound, approach or whatever and do they create unique sounding music?
99% of them don't, they just rest on their clone skills.
Then, I even experienced the same for myself. Before I became a "professional" musician, before I started studying things by all those wellknown methods, before I attended the music university, my playing (and especially my composing) had at least something unique to it.
These days, when I know about everything about chord theory, scales, harmonisation and whatever (let alone my "skills" in terms of recording music using computer based equipment), I usually experience a lack of ideas, a lack of inspiration and defenitely a lack in terms of originality.
And as said before, you can watch that often.
I tried different approaches when teaching by myself. Instead of using books establishing techniques by demonstrating licks and whatever, I allways try to show the principles behind something.
So, whenever it comes, say, to teaching scales, I explain the scale, rhythmic possibilities, scalar possibilities (such as playing in all sorts of intervals etc.) and try to encourage my students to use this knowlwdge to come up with their own ideas.
I never say things such as "look, this lick is using this scale" or whatever.
Unfortunately, such approaches very often don't work.
In all the years I've been teaching now (since 1987 that is, partially that even was a fulltime job) I've hardly came across more than 5-10 students that were really interested to find out what their own "voice" could be.
It's almost as if most of them expected to be cloned.
And that's also a big part of the reason why I stopped teaching almost at all - at least guitar teaching that is. These days I'm teaching stuff such as "making music on PCs". I find people being interested in these things to be more interested in unique sounding things as well.
I am not talking about such people. As a truly creative person you should allways work on your technique/skills/chops as well.There are many people using "originality" as an excuse for not having technique.
No. I don't have to agree and I don't.You have to agree that it is much easier for i.e. Dimitar to find his own "sound" then for some "cool artist" to gather the skills Dimitar has.
Maybe for some people this is true, but for most it isn't.
It just sounds so real, tell us the truth! Aren't you feeding these demos into a real amp with a mic ?
