Guthrie Rocks

[quido]

Yeah as Guthrie said, to play Jazz and chromaticism or whatever you really should like how it sounds first. Some people try to learn modal playing and whatever just because they think they're supposed to, like it's some sort of natural progression. Arnold Schoenberg had a similar view on classical music in the early 1900s and put together an abomination called the 12-tone system.

I don't like a lot of jazz playing - it is way too terse and nonsensical. However Guthrie does what is mostly rock music with some jazz here and there. And it's never jazz for the sake of jazz.
