If someone speaks at (what may seem like) 100 mph, it's quite difficult not only to understand what they are saying but also difficult to WANT to hear what they have to say. But if they speak slow enough to understand, then it's more likely that the listener will take it in and absorb it. It's almost exactly the same as soloing with a guitar.
Hope I haven't confused anyone. Sometimes I have trouble expressing myself with words. That's probably why I'm not such a brilliant guitar player.  |
Hi Coldethyl
Never heard it explained like that.
Reminds me of Japanese Art ...... "Doesn't really matter how much you put into the painting .... what matters is what you are able to leave out."
Thanks for this thread everyone.
