Topic: Curry2go cooking lessons

[Stephen Lindsay]

As a guitarist I am loving the blues analogy, this is a great thread guys! Re Julian I don't have strong views one way or other. He's doing the business so hats off to him. I don't think he is making claims to be the holy grail so hats off to him for that reason too. At

Thats a clever analogy. I suppose traditional Indian cooking could be termed Authentic Indian cooking; and BIR is more of a modern twist on the more authentic or traditional style of cooking.... but I dont get the point you are making Frank?

Sorry

I would've just said blues to include country blues which i think would probably be equivalent to traditional indian 
but i meant BIR.

What i was trying to say was, you lose the soul or the essence of the sound you're trying to find. Copying a copier will always have the same end result.
It will only be very good or acceptable, occasionally great but never fantastic and never quite there.
You have to go to the source (as Julian has done with curry cookery, as did Eric etc) to find that sound that you're trying to emulate.
You wonder why you dont sound like Clapton on such and such a number?
You have to listen to who He was listening to when he first started to play like Eric and create that same sound.
For all i know, Julian could be one of the exceptions like Peter Green but sooner or later you'll have to go back to the originators 


I know i couldn't be in a kitchen all day, everyday and
I agree with everyone else, fair play to Julian. He's out there doing it.
But i would rather learn from the masters than 3rd generation bluesmen
