so universal yet so elitist...

Don't you play, Mista? Yet you know so much more than many obsessed guitarists I know... your words are pure wisdom! What to say? Music is truly a universal language...

"But unfortunately, the bare minimum a guitarist can do is not be out of tune. When you do a bend or use vibrato, you have to do it in pitch. And this piece is filled with wrong notes. It's really, really out of tune." But in my opinion, he doesn't mean that Vai isn't capable of doing bends the way he understands them...

"Honestly, in all the pieces I've played by any musician, the bends had the exact same difficulty: just pull the string up, or press it if you have a scalloped fretboard." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH?! Well... Besides the fact that you can still pull the string even with a scalloped fretboard, just look at Malmsteen (clarification: he never said that he can't do in-tune bends because HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO THEM; he said he makes mistakes doing them that way simply because he has a different vision of music).

Wait, Rusty is a whole different story because he never does it (what a terrible guitarist, my goodness) and you can't even judge... with you, we were talking IN GENERAL about bending. I keep saying that a good bending is harder to achieve than a good picking. Opinions?... A musician who doesn't have an ear would do well to focus on something else.

????Who said that Vai has no ear? Rather, I’m stating exactly the opposite; I said that he pays a lot of attention to touch (so he hears quite well, I would say). If you need to do bending, do it right (RIGHT in the sense that you need to know what you're doing, not in the sense that you have to just follow the instructions like you say). That's what I said.

Look, when I think about the guitar part of Catch The Rainbow, when it does those slow bends and slides... it almost moves me to tears...

I remember that an error is, by definition, unintentional... if you play dodecaphonic music you can use all the notes and no one would dream of telling you that you're wrong. But the point is that YOU HAVE CONSCIOUSLY CHOSEN to play that way.

What does vibrato have to do with this now? Bending is the most characteristic technique of the electric guitar. It's not true that everyone can learn it; there are no little rules about bending, you have to know what you're doing. If I bend a note by a quarter tone, I'm not making a mistake if I do it BY CHOICE, BY PREFERENCE. Then in studio albums, the virtuosos you mentioned pay particular attention to the touch... In music, the natural gift is the ear (everyone says it, not just Malmsteen): some have it, and some don't. And they can study as much as they want; if they don’t have it, they won’t find it even if they pay.
