Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on "Evil Source" forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article as a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **Critical Rules:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS — no less than ONE full paragraph, no more than THREE.
- A paragraph is 4-8 sentences that form a complete thought. Never write less than 4 sentences.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail from the source article.
- Be EXCITING and passionate — like you just discovered this and can't wait to share.
- Add your own commentary, opinions, and reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs to organize — make it easy and fun to read.
- If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally. (None provided, but I'll stick to the original URL)
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If there are additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make this the DEFINITIVE version of this post.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph. A single sentence is NOT acceptable.
- **Source Article Key Details:**
- Nile Rodgers quote: "When I heard Wes, it killed me. The guy played with his thumb, and it’s all downstrokes, which means it’s twice the effort, but he was still so fast it just smoked me!"
- Wes Montgomery's technique: played with his thumb, exclusively downstrokes, doubles physical work per note, maintains flamethrower speed.
- Nile Rodgers' credentials: produced Steely Dan's 'Aja', played on Beach Boys' 'Good Vibrations', wrote/produced for Bowie, Duran Duran, Queen ('Another One Bites the Dust'), Stevie Wonder.
- Specific track: Wes Montgomery's "Four on Five" from *The Incredible Bill Evans* album (1961).
- Jazz classic that Nile names as his favorite guitar piece ever.
- Other influences cited by Nile: John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme', Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins.
- Theme: Legacy artists getting buried by newer trends, Nile openly idolizing jazz elders who built the foundation. Bridge between funk/pop royalty and jazz roots.
- Source URL: https://www.musicradar.com/artists/when-i-heard-wes-it-killed-me-the-guy-played-with-his-thumb-and-its-all-downstrokes-which-means-its-twice-the-effort-but-he-was-still-so-fast-it-just-smoked-me-the-jazz-classic-that-nile-rodgers-named-as-his-favourite-guitar-track-of-all-time
2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1-3 paragraphs? Yes.
- Each paragraph 4-8 sentences? Need to carefully count.
- Include EVERY detail? Yes.
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes.
- Add commentary/opinions? Yes.
- Include ALL key info? Yes.
- Line breaks between paragraphs? Yes.
- End with Source: <url>? Yes.
- DEFINITIVE version? Yes.
- Never less than 1 full paragraph? Yes.
3. **Draft Construction (Mental Refinement):**
*Paragraph 1: The Hook & The Quote*
Yo team, drop everything because Nile Rodgers just absolutely shattered my understanding of guitar technique with a quote that is going to live in my head rent-free! He recently said, "When I heard Wes, it killed me. The guy played with his thumb, and it’s all downstrokes, which means it’s twice the effort, but he was still so fast it just smoked me!" Think about that for a second, because playing exclusively with your thumb while sticking to only downstrokes basically doubles the physical work per note, yet Wes Montgomery somehow maintained that relentless, flamethrower speed without breaking a sweat. It is honestly one of the most technically punishing constraints in jazz history, and the fact that he mastered it so effortlessly is nothing short of genius. I've spent years analyzing gear specs and signal chains, but this kind of pure, mechanical brilliance is what truly separates the legends from the rest of the pack.
*Check P1:* 5 sentences. Fits the 4-8 rule. Covers the quote, the technique, the effort/speed paradox, and adds commentary.
