QUOTE(ciwi1166 @ Sep 5 2014, 09:26 PM) from general public pov, maybe the rock/trash/metal genre that give the guitar some rebellious image, unless u r playing blues/jazz.. But it depends lor...anyone here listen to the J-rock band X-Japan....the band leader, Yoshiki is a classical pianist...but plays rock music..LOL.  Really breaks the conventional pianist image. |

QUOTE(dkk @ Sep 5 2014, 06:40 PM) TS says not from the musicians' point of view. General public. Look at it like this. You're bringing your BF to meet your parents. He's an ex-con who just got out. But you already lied and told them that he's a professional musician. So he's coming to dinner tonight, he turns to you and ask "should I say I'm a drummer, guitarist, pianist, or conductor?". Which one is going to impress them most? QUOTE(Jyunkai @ Sep 5 2014, 08:07 PM) thank you Oh so I thought public=audience. Well in that case obviously is conductor la, name also leader ma, impression sure more geng one. |

Really breaks the conventional pianist image. for me, i respect most of them (perhaps minus ukelele  ) coz to truly master a musical instrument take passion/dedication of a lifetime.

I remember back in 1999, on tv, dont remember what program, but it was an interview with "JARI", malaysian saxaphone artist, they ask why choose saxaphone over other instruments, especially guitar.
The replied --> "too many guitarist in malaysia, market very packed, hard to survive. So I choose saxaphone, easier. People will look for you if they need sax. See now I'm on tv"  |

Would you respect a 80 ringgits Kapok guitar? Of course not, right?
What about a US$45 million violin? I think you know the answer. A Stradivarius of course! Why? If you break the kapok today you can go buy another tomorrow. If you break a Stradivarius...... Oh well! |
