btw, i just wanted to mention that that was the name of the masterclass, and i didn't come up with it lol... i guess it's kind of a weird name... of course not all dutch play the same... but for the most part a lot of them play a very similar style, using similar phrases, similar feel... and i showed a lot of these phrases at the masterclass...
as far as playing fast goes, a lot of the dutch gypsies definitely love to play fast.. i don't know why that is!
I'm reminded of someone's comment that "the faster I play, the less women come to my concerts", maybe Vai or Petrucci or someone like that, and am very wary about GJ becoming a boy's club phenomenon as a result.
That's why I'm focusing on ballads and tangos. Having a beautiful woman playing rhythm on her grande bouche guitar doesn't hurt either. Chicks dig this stuff. 8)
