Jesus Molina Hears Prince For The First Time

Post by Berretje »

So cool to see what a musician like Jesus can contribute to a song even when he never heard of the song itself.

Jesus Molina for sure is a genius, in his way. But as always, to my humble opinion, he overdoes ist.

The genius of prince was simplicity and coolness. Jesus likes to hear himself play a lot.

This is not a good match.

Sorry, glombi

I understand your point, even though I don't agree.
I like the way he listens, analyses, tests some licks, goes in so many different directions with different techniques.
As he is not limited in creativity, I'm puzzled how easy it is for him to open so many musical doors !
Good promotion video for Nord as he could use any other boards !

Wow ... a video like this makes me stay away from my keys and stick to my guitars for a couple of weeks ... :shock:
NE3HP, NP88, NS2, DPP1, NL2X, NL2X, NLA1, NL4, NE5D, NW2 (Collect Them All?), some classic Rolands, Arturias, a Waldorf, a Kurz, a WONOK3, a pile of guitars, a P-bass, loopers, amps and computers ...
I'm a gearslut! :oops:

I agree. For my taste, he is playing too many notes per second, it's more finger acrobatics and less emotion.

Impressive chops; he completely ignores everything in the actual song.

Yeah he's pretty much just jamming to the track rather than rearranging the song.
