I think jolly roger's a <i>smarter</i> musician than both Dan-O and Dan-O's wife. That's just an assumption though--I've never heard Dan-O's wife's music, whether she ever made any or not.
That was really less of an insult to Dan-O and more of a compliment to jolly roger. You could take it as an insult too, though. I won't stop you.
PS I can't play guitar for the life of me. Even Egg, incompetent bastard that he is, can play guitar better than I can.

I can't figure out guitar chords, most of the time, and I've been playing guitar for fifteen years. I guess it's a skill that I've never needed (or wanted) to learn.
I also can't play Stairway. It's because I'm not very smart.

I never even learned to play "Smoke on the Water." But I did learn "Paranoid."

all I said was if you can't figure out chord progressions, you're a suck ass musician. If JR meant he couldn't figure out the chord progessions on a certain instrument, then he's a suck ass poster who needs to be more specific.
This is ridiculous. Are gamelan orchestras, Sub-Saharan tribes, Aboriginal didgeroo players, etc, suck-ass musicians?
If you meant that people with some sort of background in common practice period Western music who cannot figure out chord progressions of pieces that fall within those boundaries are suck-ass musicians, then you're a suck-ass poster who needs to be more specific. (And even if that's what you were saying it's still ridiculous, as I'm sure many drummers would have no problem telling you.)

Do you mind explaining just exactly what this has to do with chord progressions? If you want to pick a fight there's a much easier way to do it.

Saying someone who can't figure out chord progressions is a suck-ass musician is an insult to basically everyone who plays traditional non-European music. I would guess that it is also an insult to many drummers and vocalists. It's a ridiculous statement to make.

I am very smart. I can play Stairway... but I don't.

That's brilliant, and almost unheard of.
