Decided to give this one a shot. Been obsessed with playing classical pieces
flatpicked on acoustic. Some buzzing here and there and some muffled notes
here and
there and a loss of fluidity in a few places (pauses between chord changes),
but otherwise I am fairly pleased. Just changed strings yesterday and so the
tone is lively! I think I play the second half faster. Not on purpose. I
think as I play it and loosen up that my picking speed ends up increasing a
little bit.

Learning these classical pieces pick style is really helping me build a
repetoire! Here are links to other pieces I recorded over the past few
months:

Bach Prelude in Dmwww.guitar-dreams.com/audio/studies/BachBWV999_withEQ.mp3

Bach Sonata # 1 For Solo Violin Presto (BWV 1001)www.guitar-dreams.com/audio/studies/Bach1001Presto.mp3

Brian,

See Hindemith said that *nit-wits* play without moral conviction. I
think it applies to you. Just like poetry there is a thread, an on-
going conversation in classical music, including classical guitar.
Hearing the music played out side of that tradition is like Jack Lord
on a Concorde, i.e. a bad rap. Don't be arrogant to think you
understand it, cuz you're wearing the clown outfit in this circus.

*polemic*

Don't listen to David and his b/s about moral conviction - moral
conviction has little or nothing to do with music (except perhaps
tangentially) and his comment about arrogance is probably more
arrogant than your picking up your guitar and doing something with it
instead of bleating online about how something doesn't fit one's
expectations.

*/polemic*

I had a listen to your files and sure it's not a classical guitar but
then I couldn't care less - the results are what counts and I like
them. I thought it made an interesting change hearing these pieces
with a slightly different tone to them. Nice one!

THE DICTATORSHIP OF RELATIVISM! AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN WHEN WILL IT END!- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

David,
you and Jackson go on and on about this concept, "The Dictatorship of
Relativism." I think dictatorship must be inaccurate...perhaps
oligarchy would be more appropriate, since relativism refers to the
concept of their being many truths, not just One.

I understand that Jackson's justification for his propoganda is a
rigid religiosity, born of rebellion against his father, pop culture,
and social failure; but I am wondering if there is a more universal
apology for the absolutism a denunciation against relativism must
entail. Could you explain on what authority these statements rest?

Univocity is a different concept from absolutist relativism. A good
metaphor is the farmer who has a bunch of animals he has to feed. The
relativists are the animals (cf. George Orwell *Animal Farm*)The
farmer on the other hand has many *moral* problems facing him. Please
note this difference. The farmer may impose a strict morality that is
his own projected world view, or he can allow the pigs to roll around
in the mud and squeal. The farmer has many options open to him, make
the pigs do their chores before they get fed for instance. Whatever
learning takes place, it will be a moral lesson for the pigs. Because
the farmer is a moral being. Morality presupposes that moral beings
exist.

In all the arguments I've heard about abortion, music whatever there
are never positive moralities proposed, only criticisms of an existing
moral base. Why not become a farmer and build a *moral society*
rather than say, there's no such thing as a univocal morality? Social
Justice (viz. abortion) is a perfectly acceptable position for pro-
choice activists. It's never proposed, only the squeals of pigs
rolling around in the mud.
