The "Rules" of bonsai

Questions which come to my mind are:
Can one listen to more genres like Rap, Metal, Classic and enjoy them all?

Can one have CD of different authors of different genres in its collection?

Do guitar player from Megadeth have to know rules of Classical music?

Can one artist play on same guitar Metal solo and after that some spanish music?

Does Eminem have to use 18 century opera terminology when he is creating his songs?


Love Outkast, old LL Cool J, Megadeth, Ozzy and Pantera....Vivaldi, Wagner or any classical piano....Summer usually Kyoto music, reggae and The Grateful Dead...

All in my collection

Dave Mustaine is a legend of metal, he can do what he wants!!

Randy Rhodes.....

If Eminem can make it rhyme, it's open season!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D;)
 
Artists are folk who see solutions when others see problems. When positive in personality,
they are as rays of sunlight, the rainbows.
Adaptable, creative, alive, and it's as natural as breathing.
They shock you, they astound you, they confuse you.
They can think so differently, and yet, make confusion make sense.

Call me crazy but you just gave the best description of a master bonsai artist that I've ever heard!
I applaud you!

Absolutely yes! It's all about exposure and education (kind of the same thing)
When I was growing up in the early 70's If any one told me that Deep Purple wasn't the best music in the world I thought they were crazy. Then I discovered Jimi Hendrix. I joined a band and we played that stuff all the time.
Then I discovered Jeff Beck and realized that there was a lot more to learn about music. What's this Jazz stuff all about? After that it was John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I read about him starting his professional career at 30 with Miles Davis and practicing 8 hours a day. All of a sudden I knew what commitment was! Then I got deeply into Shakti. I joined another band and we played original jazz rock all written by our keyboard player. (Then I joined another band and another and another. Now I'm too old to do that shit). He opened my eyes up to the beauty of the altered chord. The difference between Deep Purple and this was like a dandelion and a giant redwood. Then one day sitting in the car I heard Stravinsky's violin and piano sonata. I was blown away. But I had to come all this way to understand it.
Now I can enjoy anything that is done well including some rap and heavy metal and I still like Deep Purple and Zeppelin too. It's all about quality but it can easily be lost in all the garbage.
Some won't get it, but if you want to hear one of the best pieces of music ever played (truly great art) (LOUD) :
Written decades ago and will still be fresh in a thousand years. (guitar solo starts at 3:13 but the violin is just as good) And Mind Ecology after it...wow..

Music and bonsai both feed the soul.
I am a fan of all kinds of music
Grew up listening to country with my folks, then on to rock and metal.
Went to 100s of concerts as a teen.
Worked in a jazz bar for awhile- live music nightly.
Hip hop and rap played enough at my job to get me hooked.
Currently on iTunes a huge mix of everything. Nora Jones wakes me up everyday on my alarm clock.
Served Robert plant wine in my bar as a 20 something. Went to the concert that night opened by faith no more.
Great show.
 
I'm only a metal fan.
The good metal where they don't use drop down tuning on their guitars. And can play a solo. Drop down is for people who don't have a grasp of what a guitar can really do.
The closest I come to country music is the remake of Devil Went Down to Georgia by Steve Quinette.
There's no instruments in rap so that's out. Scratching a record isn't playing music. Neither is looping someone else's music.

I love all the music everyone's noted her from bad brains to Vivaldi but I was also a hip hop DJ for a while and one of my fav musics is turntableism. Turntables are definitely an instrument. You really have to understand exactly what they are doing to appreciate it to the fullest anyone can remember one of the first mainstream songs where a Scratching was used as an instrument.
 
I wanna hear some Pinkfloyd using that method... but I have no vinyl... waaaa!

Shhhh, don't show this to sorce, no telling what kinda trouble he's "liable" to get into with this rig!
 
Scratching is what you do to your assistance.
How many years of study does it take to be a virtuoso scratcher?
Hahahaha
 
A Lot!

I'd wager a bet it's one of the hardest instruments to master.

Sorce
Probably a lot like guitar.
I still haven't mastered one of those yet.
I can do Eruption and the solos for a few Megadeth and Metallica songs but it would probably take years to master an Enema scratch solo.
I stand corrected.

I have 52 years practice. Scratching my ass. So I would probably win.

Squatch must not exist....

All you have to do is go out and do that and one may come find you!

I know 1 master guitarist.
And no master Turntablists.

1.5 master guitarists.

It would save time spent wandering around in the swamps in the dark.
And they do exist. I hope.
I bet one could probably scratch records with the best of them but my guess is they aren't big fans of rap either.
Remember,rap makes up 3/4 of the word crap.
