Getting a tone and a groove.

[Eagle]

Another great opener about this interesting subject.

There was talk some time ago about picking and to me it’s all about what works best with the instrument in you hands and amplification your using. You constantly micro adjust your technique to get the best. Or you certainly should. So many apparently good players can’t get a “tone” and don’t have a groove. Have you ever tried to explain what is missing and how to fix it?

His face is preventing me from watching it.

 

[Eagle]

Get used to it he is one of the best players around.

Go and watch his channel. His electric band.

 

[Eagle]

Intelligent harmonically rich music.

A very judgemental video. "I need to get this motherfucker on ayauasca" ...okay mate. You do that.

But if you'r right and he almost always is.

I wonder if just because someone is "right" it doesn't make them interesting to everyone??

Seems like so much of the gear/playing/music experience on platforms like Youtube is about
personality, delivery, and whether or not that resonates with others. One thing is for sure. It
won't resonate with everyone no matter who you are, or what your content is.

Also, this a tough crowd with a lot of old/aging farts stuck in their ways---so the kinds of responses
ya get are the kinds of responses ya get.

I agree.... some people have a better feel than others for groove. Some never think of it and have
it, and others never think of it, and should be thinking of it, so maybe they can have it.

Well music isn't a competition, and it is entirely subjective.

Marbin shredded my fucking face off in the side room of a pizza place in Denver a couple years ago. 10/10 band

Homie is a killer player and pretty entertaining. I like the guy with the tiny saxophone too

Well, I mean, there are people out there who think Kirk Hammet is the greatest guitar player who ever lived.

Music isn’t a competition but only some parts are subjective, the composition.

I see musicians all the time that have no groove or swing and don’t know how bad that sounds. All the time they never play a wrong note but they still suck.

 

[Eagle]

Oh and so many players can’t get a tone because they don’t listen and micro adjust their technique to maximise the tone of the instrument in their hands. It is different for every instrument and everything in your rig.

He has written some good songs but not a great player. This is about objectively what makes you a great musician.

 

[duzie]

This guy certainly has skill.
One person’s music may just be noise to someone else though

Nonsense. Even groove is subjective.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Groove

I didn't watch the first vid, but I did watch some of the 2nd vid. Great band. The tiny sax thing was pretty cool.
