Frye, 45, said animation allowed her to remain a teenage girl. The returning stars said fans still will recognize their voices from the original Proud Family. "I can give that freedom to this character." "This character is so fearless, fabulous and free," Johnson said. He said he hopes Michael's free and open character inspires viewers. Johnson said he was more closeted than Michael growing up. "All your dreams can come true if you have the heart and just go forward and have that fearlessness." "I want other little kids to be able to see Michael and all of our characters and just know, 'I can do that. Introducing an LGBTQ character, Johnson said he hoped young viewers see there is room for them in animation, too. Johnson said he grew up identifying with Disney villains Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians and the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. "But look what you have here, and baby, you are a goddess." "It doesn't look like that princess over there, or that princess here," Pratt said she'd tell her children. Liyah is 8 and Lyric is 11, and Pratt said animated characters have helped her explain to them why their natural hair looks different than that of White characters. Pratt has two children with her partner, Danny Kirkpatrick. "Shows like this are a helpful tool, especially for parents," Pratt said. Pratt said she realized after starring in The Proud Family how important it was for kids to see characters like themselves in entertainment.

Maya ( Keke Palmer) and KG (Artist "A Boogie" Dubose) have moved into town with their two fathers ( Zachary Quinto and Billy Porter).Īs The Proud Family already included Black and Latinx characters, Pratt said it was important to represent as many different people as possible. Louder and Prouder introduces new characters, too. "Just to have a character who is out and proud, fabulous and completely, utterly unapologetically themselves is really just so beautiful." "It speaks volumes to other kids like me who are growing and figuring out their gender identity from the youngest of ages," Johnson said. Louder and Prouder allows Michael to be openly queer.

Spend a few hours on YouTube and check out the players and bands that follow: it will massively help you understand and appreciate the world of shred guitar playing.Choosing the very best metal guitars is a tough one. ![]() This holds out for shred guitar playing, and the good news is that with the electric guitar being such a comparatively young instrument the history of the genre is relatively easy to track. To best approach any academic or physical discipline, it is vital to learn the history of the subject: an awareness of what has gone before, and the evolution of the subject is key to your development and understanding. Players who pushed the boundaries of what was physically possible, and helped develop the vocabulary that is available to players today.Īndy James follows in this tradition and is proud to proclaim himself as a ‘shred’ guitarist: full on, loud and proud, and unashamedly a shred monster – and why not? With the benefit of historical hindsight we can see that shred guitar playing, in its purest sense, has always been with us.įrom early pioneers such as Django Reinhardt and Les Paul there have always been players who were willing to push the envelope and expand on what had gone before. Yet shred guitar – in its purest sense, as a term to denote extremely technically proficient guitar playing – is not solely a rock and metal guitar style. Nowadays the ability to play highly technical metal guitar with a vocabulary encompassing all the classic shred facets – arpeggios, speed and sweep picking et al – is pretty much a prerequisite to any serious player in the rock and metal arena. Somewhere along the line things settled down, and bands such as Alter Bridge and Avenged Sevenfold emerged with players who utilised shred guitar techniques and styles in music that was commercially successful, and appealed to the average – non musician - rock and metal music fan. ![]() Shred was in danger of disappearing up its own (almost universally male) backside! These guitarists took the most overtly showy aspects of the style and relegated it to a fast fix, ‘junk food’ type of ‘stunt guitar’ playing that appealed only to other metal based guitarists: your average music fan would remain perplexed and ultimately uninvolved by the gratuitous masturbatory antics displayed. Legions of players emerged who displayed out of control speed picked arpeggios and scales played with scant regard for musicality: weak phrasing, cack-handed vibrato and a supremely limited harmonic vocabulary consisting of minor and harmonic minor scales with a few sweep picked arpeggios thrown in quickly became the norm. This was particularly apparent in the 90’s and early Noughties when ‘shred’ got very bad press indeed – and often deservedly so. Yet, as quickly as shred guitar was celebrated, a determined backlash ensued that meant the term ‘shredder’ was often used as a derogatory term. Suddenly every hometown hero and local legend was ripping it up utilising some very scary techniques indeed…Īfter years when rock and metal guitar was viewed technically and stylistically as the poor relation to jazz and blues virtuosos suddenly a whole breed arrived to rip the rulebook apart: truly the golden era of shred! Players such as Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker and Richie Kotzen – not forgetting the commercial face of shred in Joe Satriani and Steve Vai - took rock and metal playing to hitherto unscaled heights of technical virtuosity. The tapping explosion that Van Halen instigated was combined with sweep picked arpeggios, alternate ‘speed ‘ picking and – particularly after Paul Gilberts arrival – string skipping to provide a smorgasbord of licks and tricks that players embraced. Guitar magazines were quick to recognize this, particularly in the US and Japan, when featuring a ‘shredder’ on a magazines cover would ensure a sell-out issue. It was this period that the revolutionary techniques that Van Halen, Randy Rhoads and Yngwie Malmsteen introduced between 19 first filtered through into the general consciousness and playing vocabulary of proficient rock and metal guitarists the world over. It is difficult to pinpoint when the term shred guitar first entered the guitarist’s vernacular – but around 1987/88 seems about right. ![]() ![]() Once you have your new desk chair, you’ll need to adjust it for maximum comfort.
