  1. So true. One of the hardest tunes for me to tackle was Wes Montgomery's "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face". It sounds so pretty and rich, but because of the slow tempo I assumed that it was going to be a walk in the park.....wrong. Mastering the chord melody and getting the phrasing right was a lot harder than any Van Halen tune played at break neck speed while having all the effects and reverb at full capacity.

  2. Because the bar is now set higher with the advent of Youtube, a virtuoso is now classified as anyone who can play a difficult tune at breakneck speed while simultaneously riding a unicyle and juggling bowling pins.
