I've read this post several times. Is it possible that Speculator Sam included the link to "Spencer camp" as an example of the "good" which can come from not blaming your equipment, etc.?
To me, the video is a great example of a musician who isn't only learning from teachers, but is also listening and mimicking. I think more musicians should do that (in addition to normal studies). As long as a person produces the sound, style, technique that they're going for...I usually appreciate their efforts.
Personal experience makes me believe that "equipment-blame" is infectious, and usually doesn't occur until folks are taught to do it. ;^)>>>
Wynton Marsalis' band came through and gave a master class at the local University. Parts of it were open to the public. It was great. However, later that evening, his band performed at a cultural event, and I was very disappointed by the saxophone player (whose name I am purposely omitting). The saxophone player made a big show of not being able to get his reeds to work at our 7000+ feet elevation, and after a solo, he'd jump up, break the reed and throw it somewhere else on stage...an act he did repeatedly throughout the performance. I could understand his frustration - because it is tough to play here until you get used to it, but I could never understand the lack of etiquette/professionalism at an otherwise formal tuxedo/gown event.
