LimpyLoo Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Modey, This EP is super-dense with melodic guitar stuff: (P.s. I would t say that Polvo are 'mathy' mostly they're about intertwining melodies played on severely-detuned guitars) https://youtube.com/watch?v=FxaJwagK_-I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpyLoo Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 My OTHER favorite guitar band of the 90's is Chavez They do a lot of really atonal stuff, and the drummer's name is "The James Lo" Plus, this video is amazing: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bKr45j6S_qQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when I heard them I wasn't really in the mindset for that style of music. I can't even remember which album it was that I heard. I may even be totally mistaken hahaha, but my comment about math rock bands still stands; it'd be funny if eventually it comes full circle and the true experimental bands play super lovely melodies (like my idea to play at an experimental night and be the only true experimenter among the other performers by playing pop songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimpyLoo Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Y'know, in the last couple months I've decided that you are truly an asshole. And comparing Polvo to Pavement is just so idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 hah. I think some people are more emotionally insulated from opposing opinions than others. With my friends and family, I just say what I think about things, they say what they think and who gives a shit if we think different things, it's not a personal indictment of anyone's taste. I would have thought given how you especially, daily, argue from antithetical 'philosophical' standpoint all the time, ad infinitum in some threads. That you would have a more durable, robust, healthy intellectual distance when encountering opinions that differ from your own on those things that are perhaps a little closer to home emotionally, the special feelz, music your grew up listening to, but that are not personal slights or attacks. (Even these last two can be excused amongst my friends, cause we're honest with one another and don't expect any less, and it's pretty clear that we're still friends and passionate care for one another) As it appears this isn't the case, and you are triggered apparently by opposing opinions of this sort, and it isn't fun actually upsetting people, well tedious is closer to the truth, tedious and boring. I shall no longer respond to anything you write. I hope this puts an end to your discomfort. /love dleet [-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm not triggered by opposing opinions I dunno, maybe I read a maliciousness into your posts that isn't really there But it seems like you go around these threads with your anus locked and loaded Eager to shit on things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Look at this shit, time magazine names yngwie one of the top ten electric guitar players of all time, (they love their lists, oldschool buzzfeed obviously). Yngwie MalmsteenThe Swede's superfast "neoclassical" style — he credits Bach and Paganini as influences — is a blur of scales and technical precision. It almost makes you forget that the great bulk of his music is so fast that it's unlistenable. link Maybe for some dumb fuck that writes for time magazine whilst helping to cheer on and nurture boring music, one slow brained speech impediment at a time. If anything, things can be faster, much faster, and complicated, which is another thing altogether, but the flicker rates of most in this planet doom us all to statements like the above, -sie-. "oh, it's all about the space, dleet, you've got to let things breath." gleh, retrograde humons. And then they give us space, but no folk, funk, or elek.

LimpyLoo Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 For anyone interested in legato and sweeping picking, this guy is a great teacher: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VpzEFzHwQAc (The metal-fusion thing isn't my cup of tea, but those guys are really the only ones who can do this shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 And this guy has the most elegant legato technique I've ever heard... (again, another metal-fusion guy): https://youtube.com/watch?v=bTI2s4svE2s https://youtube.com/watch?v=hj4qSyFlc0A I'm obsessed with being able to play like tenor players (e.g. Coltrane, Mark Turner) And legato and sweep-picking are really the only way to do the 'sheets of sound' stuff With the 'played with a single breath' fluidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheatheman Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 why did this thread default to a volley re: technical skill?while i like stuff like special efx, i like a musician like chieli minucci for the overall aesthetic of the sound. it doesn't really matter to me beyond thatalso, how did this become a discussion of music other people have made as opposed to a discussion on actually making guitar music ourselves?

modey Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I have the Boss GP10 which allows each string to be independently tuned (and also use the expression pedal to sweep between tunings), so I keep mine in standard and just use presets. Pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 ^ How does that affect feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Not sure, I haven't really tried to make it feed back! When I'm set up for guitar stuff again I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Experimenting with different intervals might give som intetesting results? Fifths and octaves should still be able to drive some feedback, I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah, I imagine it'd either be pretty interesting or there wouldn't be as much feedback as when tuned in standard tuning. The GP10 also does polyphonic distortion, ie. each string is distorted independently. It sounds super majestic! PLUS it does guitar modelling, and also has an unusually fully featured synth engine and LFOs that can be assigned to *any* parameter on the device (including the on/off switch for the tuner, which I discovered accidentally, haha). I'm about to move house so it's packed up but as soon as I get my new studio set up I'm gonna use it in some recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chesney Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Sounds interesting, def keep us posted. I'd really like to integrate guitar into my stuff without starting another project and not going all campfire headphase. mainly just for the writing style. I run into brickwalls easily writing on keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
