Jeff Berlin says - Every Slapper and Rocker at NAMM Is Self Taught

[Brad Johnson]

Oh... okay.

 

[Lownote38]

I wonder if you actually hear yourself... you've decided what teacher are for... for whom?



And if someone is struggling with it, they should just persevere? Not seek help?




Now that's the truly baffling part. The contradiction was not implied, it was plainly spoken. I think at this point I understand the wiggling.

Jeff said teachers and no students. Everyone being self-taught does not allow for students. Does it?


You continue to defend him while pretending he didn't do exactly what he did. That may be the saddest part of this... the enabling.

The saddest part of all this is that we have a legendary bass player here with TONS of experience offering his thoughts, and people treat him like he knows less than a toddler. I officially give up. You've missed the point of this entire thread.

I officially give up on you. You've missed the point of this entire thread. It's not worth my time to go around and around with this. Either you get it, or you don't (or won't). There is no contradiction (implied, or plainly spoken). So, you don't get it (or won't). The end. I'm out.

What if some of us disagree with the opinions that he presents as irrefutable facts? He may be an expert in his field but that doesn't make him an authority and it doesn't mean he's entitled to automatic agreement on his assertions.

I don't think he expects blind agreement, and if people disagree, it's easy to just move along and read a different thread.

No, the saddest thing is that folks like you pretend that he's infallible in his opinions and worse, statements of "facts".

No one has ever made him go overboard with the hyperbole... and folks like you are willfully blind to it. That's cool if it's the way you need to go through this.

That's exactly what you're doing... turning a blind eye to the logical disconnect.

Enjoy.

You can make money playing out of the real book too. A pro ought to be able to cover Higher Ground on a cruise ship gig, and walk through the changes on Autumn Leaves at a wedding reception.

When on earth would anyone cover Red Hot Chili Peppers version of “Higher Ground” on a cruise ship gig? Can’t even see Stevie’s original version getting any airtime in that venue.

Lol, true enough, but you get the point.
