>>508585628>Adam Neely makes 52 minute video to explain why he’s not actually an asshole for feigning expertise about Jaco Pastorius on a podcastThe whole “ethics of genre” concept is retarded anyway. It’s all the same ethics: don’t lie
The only difference when it comes to genre is that genre conventions provide a shorthand for understanding artistic claims; the people who get upset about fake guitar are the ones who take for granted that the guitar playing is real. The people who get upset about lyrical ghostwriters are the ones who take for granted that performers write their own lyrics. The people who get upset about rehearsing your solos are the ones who take for granted that solos are improvised.
Absolutely nobody cares about fake guitar if you are honest that it’s fake. It’s disingenuity and deceit that people, everywhere and universally, have a negative response to.
