Guitar work isn’t easy to compare either cause I’ve been playing for 23 years and pretty much have developed my own style at this point, but you can tell I’m influenced by who I’m influenced by.
My soloing style is def mascis influenced but I’d say my riffing/chord play is much more marr influenced
I really kinda do my own thing. Approximately half of it you can def tell I was an Ap.net / tony hawks pro skater kid who had the natural progression from 2000s scene music to older indie-alternative / Midwest emo / punk and post-punk music that influenced it but the other half of it is really just me doin my own thing and sounds nothing like any of that at all lol. Including my vocals.
I really do have a bayside tattoo and I was once at a bar and the bartender had a bayside tattoo and we bro’d out
I’m so the opposite of yall haha if I got divorced I would hate jokes about it while I was still hurting but then would appreciate them more when I moved on
We are not but he doesn’t pay enough attention to tell anyways best to just smile and nod at the guy foaming at the mouth
what sucks about the BN situation is they were very obvious about it Jesse is literally writing his guilt about preying on young / drunk women into his lyrics - but we were all kids in an era that normalized that shit in art, so we didn’t understand
Scary to think about the negative influence they’ve had and how that’s led to a lot of people embracing anti wokeism or whatever
I meant to give an update on the guitar stuff. Olivia had us go by Guitar Center last week so of course I'm looking at the $1k+ stuff and she basically said that if I'm serious about it, get a cheaper guitar to start and take lessons. I'm actually considering it because my ass would spend the money on a good guitar and find something else to do and it would collect dust. I never took lessons previously and just learned off of guitar tabs for the songs I really liked, but with us starting a family next year I really want to start playing again so I can play for them.
I'm thinking just a cheaper used decent acoustic just to go to lessons and learn again, then get what I really want (tele) down the road.
