Without boundaries

There's been a thread with a video(s) of this chap I believe, but couldn't find it and as I believe not all these were not posted before, here you go:






Question popped in my head: Would you be willing to/able to relearn to be opposite handed if that would be the only way you could play?

Jazzaferri

Yes

Buco

To answer your question; of course, well id be willing anyway.

And this is the thread from last year about Marc:

Buco

That's a great point.

I was made aware only recently of Toni Iommi handicap :oops:
Than I read somewhere him saying that knowing what he knows now, it would have been faster if he had relearned to play as a lefty.

But it also makes me wonder if his 2 finger technique had some influence to develop that wonderful mind as well and if his music would have been as beautiful.

Jazzaferri

Buco I think that while you are right that his lines and phrasing were changed by his accident, I think his genius would have had even greater expression if he had not been injured. I suspect he would have stood the guitar world even more on its head. Boggles my mind really, thinking about where he might have gone with it

Buco

Yeah, I wonder that too...

To get back to Marc, I just realized he's playing with a Selmer style guitar.
Man, all I can say is thank you Marc for enriching musical and now gypsy jazz world and showing that boundaries are indeed self applied.
