I find it fascinating that these two gurus of power metal shred have managed to coexist in the same band for this many years. No hint of egos clashing, nor jealousy. In fact, they seem to genuinely like to be in each other’s company. And we’re all the better for it. Fascinating. 🎸🎸🔥

Herman, has said in the past, that Sam did have a background of being musically trained.
@KeltiKyrie5 жыл бұрын
Sam started his classical musical training at the age of 9. It does make a difference (not saying it makes a musician better over self-taught, just stating there is a difference). I have found self-taught are more versatile because they aren't regimented from training, they had to find stuff themselves and learn it themselves. Trained musicians have more technique and fluidity, and there are different schools of training. Jazz and classical are the two main schools of training that people generally choose from. Sam maintained one aspect of his classical training to this day, in one of his interviews (I think it was a print interview) he said that he still does all the exercises he learned. They serve as a warm-up pre-practice. This isn't to say all musicians who are self-taught don't do this and all musicians who are trained do this. I just wanted to clarify the training Sam had and to try to clarify a bit on the differences between self-taught and trained. For those of us who love Dragonforce and/or Sam, we don't really need or care about the clarification I just provided, but I just know a hater is going to pop up (so it's really for them before they say something stupid like "Sam can't really play guitar for shit").

@@KeltiKyrie About "I have found self-taught are more versatile" i don't agree at all, there probably isn't an absolute answer because there are a lot of exceptions, but i think all people that know their theory well can be more versatile and can jam over almost any song once they know it's chord progrssion, self taught will more likely get stuck in the same scale by choice (deciding to stop learning, be satisfied with what you already learned) or lack of interest, and people that actually made a course at least, or went to an actual music school will be taught much more and "forced" to learn it, again if the self taught is a hell of a person with dedication to learning the most he can, it's the same, as well if a person goes to school and doesn't make an effort to actually learn will also be likely to get stuck. I don't understand why is there a stigma that if you learn theory, specially by attending school you will compose and "compute" notes like a robot.
