Reply to comment by Mdizzle29 in It pains me to say it, but I've outgrown the Red Hot Chili Peppers and think they really suck now by Mdizzle29

You called John's solo's "lifeless". Go back to listening to some Cardi B bud and we can get back to listening to music with soul in it

I mean, I literally play jazz..I feel like I know what a decent solo is at this point. If you think that’s it, then god bless.

To each their own I guess, my apologies for coming across confrontational. Jazz music does nothing for me, although my experience with it is slim and John's my favorite guitar player so I must defend my boy! What is a Jazz band you recommend I check out to help expand my horizons?

No worries man, it took me many years to appreciate jazz.

A great place to start is the album “Kind of Blue” by Miles Davis. I tend to like the bebop piano style so pianists like Oscar Peterson, Red Garland, Benny Green, and Dave Brubeck are up my alley. Then you get to denser stuff like Thelonius Monk and Chick Corea, that’s pretty advanced jazz.

And that’s ok if it’s not up your alley, like I said it took for me playing it and really trying to learn jazz piano that got me into it.

Miles Davis, now there's a name I at least know of. I'll add a few songs by those names to my new music list. I appreciate you taking the time, who knows, I could be a jazz guy yet

Just because someone finds a guitar solo mediocre, it means they must listen to Cardi B?
