The point I was making is that Blues is inherantly steeped in passion. It's far more difficult to convey passion in a style that's more subtle.
I also think it's rather absurd to equate SRV bleeding on his guitar with passion. I've heard of plenty of guitarist's that have bled on their guitar, are they all more passionate than Tim? It's dedication not passion.
Even compared to other non-blues guitarists, Tim seems to lack feeling and emotion IMO. Granted, I've only heard Tim's stuff on L@LC and L@RR.

But that's not Tim stuff. That's Dave stuff with Tim accompanying him.

Thank you all for your love and support.

And Tim plays with his fingers most of the TIMe, cocksmoke.

Did you just get back from a reacharound from Tim?

Wow, funny. We know you're a dick, no need to pontificate on it.

It is still Tim's guitar playing I do believe. Maybe not his originals, but he's still on guitar.

First, I was made aware of this thread through timreynolds.com . Everyone over there is saying that this argument is a bunch of bullshit, and that no one over here know what they're talking about.
I'd also like to add that I'm sick of you guys coming from the Reynolds boards and treating everyone here like they're inferior. That's a rediculous assumption and a even more rediculous way to introduce yourself to these boards. You should at least have some humility when you're posting for the first time.

So please dont tell me to listen to song 'x' and tell me that im dead wrong.
And what the hell is that? You come to start another discussion but nobody's allowed to disagree with you? Give me a break.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm attacking you but you didn't exactly make me want to roll out the welcome mat.

MWR. I think he did the right thing. He didn't insult anybody while giving his opinion. And they probably are better guitarists over there. Actually, I would bet money that they are. Only small select group here can play Tim Reynolds music. Whereas, on their site they can probably play a good handful of them. I always thought SRV was better.

You're right. I had just got done reading the other thread over at the TR boards and I was pissed. It was nothing more than misplaced anger.
It is true that most people here are generally clueless about theory and whatnot. Rather than ridicule them on another forum I try to help out.

tim is also much older than SRV was when he died. i don't think it's fair to say that tim's worked harder to get where he is when Stevie's potential was never fully unlocked. just my $0.02.

That might qualify as the WORST point made in this argument yet.

i haven't read the full text but Im hoping I read that OUT of CONTEXT.

which point? the bold point?

Beauford33 · Unread post by **Beauford33** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 11:43 pm

yea.

So when does working harder make you better? Maybe in the "way to give 110%" way, but that doesnt mean you won the game (which is a bad analogy, especailly when it comes to music)

Totally opinion based, there is no way to determine who is "better".

SRV is an amazing performer and made those Zorro hats masculine again.

Timmy's a virtuoso but has little stage presence.

With regards to talent and ability, I really think Timmy's got more chops and draws from a wider range of music styles in his playing while SRV is a straight on bluesman who plays(ed) from the heart.
