Topic: When you here those famous licks in other people's songs

When you listen to a song and you hear some famous licks in the songs of other players in their songs, does it bother you.


I listen to a lot of blues and I notice it and I really think it makes the song sound cheap and with no creation of the guitarist

Looks like a geat site- I wish I had broadband to use it. I hear you have some of the fastest and cheapest broadband available there in Japan. In rural areas here the only option in most cases is sat broadband, which I had for a while, but which is totaly useless- and quite expensive if you want to use it to download even a small amount.

I think you will always hear similar licks but if they are identical then i can see why it would remove some of the musical magic!

Life without fast internet? I could not imagine it! I remember the days when we had to use only dial up. A 5 mb file would take a minimum of 15 minutes. Now  it is under 5 seconds and this will only get faster!

We pay about 65 dollars a month for telephone and broadband. It's an all you can use service for one set fee which I think is about 45 dollars and the tel. bill is like 20 dollars a month.  Is that about what you pay there

Yes, and if you are talking USD then it's not much different, John, except that the access in most cases is controlled by one former government telecom company which has a very low cap on excess data. A few small film or music files can bump it up to 70 or 80 bucks per month excluding phone...way too rich for my taste.
