EVH fan:
You should know better! The first VH album is loaded with flubs and that's what makes it so great. One of the more blatant flubs is on "feel your love tonight". After the solo, Eddie goes back into the basic rhythm of the chorus and he misses one of the chords by almost a half step (he kinda lands in between e and e flat). Listen closely and you'll find it.
Eddie has admitted to making a lot of mistakes and said they didn't have time to re-cut any songs. I think he also had a lot of trouble with his low E popping out of the nut.
I love flubs.

Well, I've never flubbed in my life. I do play jazz notes, though.

Everybody does, but I haven't seen many from Paul Gilbert. That guy is insane.

i'm sure everyone does, some not as often as others
steve vai seems to be pretty much inhuman
i had a teacher telling me about this very subject some years ago...
he said if you give someone a basketball and have them shoot a difficult shot enough times, they'll be able to make that shot eventually...a pro on the other hand, will have to shoot the same number of times before they finally miss

There are a lot of PG fans on this board. He fucked up the solo to "to be with you" on Jay Leno many moons ago. Very blatant fuck up. He stumbled over a note and made a face like "i just fucked up" right after he did it. very odd moment for the articulate one

I've seen Morse 6 or 7 times. One night he made a few mistakes in the first tune and was on the rest of the night. About 3 songs into the show I realized he was wearing a cast on his left wrist. Apparently he broke it while skateboarding with his son. I dish out pickles by the barrel-full when I'm 100% healthy and he's a machine even while wearing a cast.gaijun":e8678 said:

i can't say i know MUCH about jazz; i can listen to wes montgomery, pat martino, or george benson all day long...somes guys really sound like they're playing more wrong notes than right ones to me tho
this guy for instance (solo starts around 3:30)

in my guitar classes i did in high school he was a guest for a week...MONSTER player, could incorporate some crazy theory into his improv playing, and had some of the best chorded rhythm playing i've ever seen; EVERYTHING he played tho was outside/dissonant tones tho, nothing that really had much melody or was memorable ever

There's a video of Steve participating in an introduction to the new Y2D Steve Morse EBMM guitar in which Steve talks about the cast incident. He actually went back to the doc several times to have the cast re-done so that he would be able to access the higher notes on the guitar for a few big gigs already scheduled.
