"Even simple compositions can be beautiful... just as complex compositions can seem pompous and not very 'melodic'... compositions are never simple because they are always the result of careful and sometimes almost mathematical study. Those of the Pooh are not COMPOSITIONS, they are songs that, I repeat, make good use of the 5 or 6 chords."

Because it's a very difficult intro, and someone like Dodi, since you've elevated him to one of the best in the world, wouldn't be able to do it because his melodic-compositional-technical lines aren't that complex. Let's clarify one thing: I have nothing against the Pooh, they represented an important chapter in the history of Italian music and should be appreciated as such, but only as such, nothing more. Anyone who presents the Pooh as great artists is mistaken because anyone with a shred of musical knowledge or compositional technique knows that those, as beautiful and enjoyable as they are, are little songs made with 4-5-6 well-placed chords. And don't shoot me down with the whole minisuite story because to write a minisuite or suite, it takes something else:
1) the minisuite or suite is not their genre. Suites are works that fall under the genre of progressive rock-meal; 2) the suite has a compositional structure that is often challenging and complex, which the Pooh do not engage in because they have to (rightly) reach the masses in the simplest way possible.

We can say it about you too, you big jerk, you know that?

"It's a prejudice, yes, because they don't understand why Dodi, who maybe isn't one of the best in the world, but isn't just anyone either, should take 20 years to learn just the intro..." what do you mean by that???? Let's not confuse real musicians with the mediocre ones from Pooh.

Prejudice comes from someone who knows about guitars and understands the limitations of these guitarists. misterNO, try to criticize fairly and don't take sides... you’re acting like fans do...

I'm sorry... but please...

minisuite....but please

Do you want me to do it on the second verse? Does it matter to know the words of a song? I understand how you are instead... if I'm a fanatic of virtuosity, you’re a fanatic of Neapolitan music à la Mario Merola... damn.. that’s real art... his guitarist is among the best in the universe... and what to say about Gigi D'Alessio?.. or Paolo Meneguzzi... he has a guitarist who is among the top 5 in my damn mind... Ou.. try to listen to serious music, I'm not talking about foreign music or what I listen to... but serious music and well done... not just made BEAUTIFUL...

...Dust
the wind in the valley slips
half-open windows creak
on the walls the silent sun
lies...

Just Braidus.. anyway, I replied to you, I said that you put me in the middle of nice shit.. but that's not enough.
