What’s so crazy to me about them is it’s essentially a tight drummer playing simple lines (in very, very good time), a tight bassist doing a mellow but groovy line, and a guitarist with a ton of reverb playing melodic lines combined with triads and leaving space in his playing. It’s so simple on paper but so fresh. Goes to show when you think everything in music has been done someone comes along and can have a simple yet great musical concept you’d never thought of before them. Awesome band.

You know, she's actually really good too; they all are, but I mean her bass lines are TASTY! Really great choices of melodies and riffs.

Their minimalism, both in terms of gear and music, is inspiring. They really embody the old "it's the notes you don't play that matter" mantra. DJ and Leezy just lock in tighter than anybody in the business and Mark floats on top, it's fantastic. Mark's guitar is a basic MIM 70s reissue with upgraded pickups and Graphtec nut/saddles. Leezy's got an SX(!) with DiMarzio pickups. DJ plays a minimal four-piece kit. No crutches, no cheats. My absolute favorite thing about Speer's playing is that he really doesn't rely on blues or classic rock tropes. As you note, he's outlining the chords and exploring the whole scale, not merely wheedling away aimlessly on pentatonic scales, which a lot of rock guitarists never graduate from. He gets inside the song and walks around. Super rare to be simultaneously innovative and also just really nice to listen to.

Waited impatiently for two years for a chance to see them live, then when they came, I saw them 2x in 3 days here in LA at the Greek ... They fucking killed it. All the fan videos of this tour posted here have been just awesome.. seemed like every other week some one was posting their entire set from the lastest shows.. watching how their set list has evolved thru the tour and how EVERY freekin show is sold out makes me sooo happy for them.

Mark is such an awesome guitar player, and is a big inspiration for me when it comes to leveling up my playing.

Amazing video Rhett!
@stoneysdead689 Жыл бұрын
Triads are your friend, get to know them well. And once you've found a triad- say you find an Em7th you like- now find the position of the E minor scale that's close enough to where that chord is you can devise a line which ends on the same note that's defining that triad. For instance- if it's a minor triad, find the flat third and end the phrase on that note- if it's a 7th then find that note, a major- find the perfect 5th and 3rd- etc. It sounds very melodic because you're outlining the chords with your lead line.

I dig these guys. A while ago I heard his explanation of their creative process that sounded really interesting in a very minimalist way -- the drummer records a beat and sends it to the bass player. She focuses on the I note. Since he knows the I will always be there, doesn't have to focus on playing it. He said he plays flatwound strings so he never has to change them -- which means they always sound the same. That, and using the same pick for months at a time. It's pretty amazing.

Being from the Middle East I can confirm the influence Of Mark Speer. One can hear similar melodies in Turkish, Egyptian, and Armenian music of the 70s. Thank you so much for this video and for drawing our attention to such a great band.

This also reminded me off one of my favorites from that part of the world. Kourosh Yaghmaei.

I hadn't heard of this band until watching this so thanks so much for sharing. Been listening to them the last few days constantly and love their sound. The guitar sounds are so good. Thanks

Their Pitchfork video blew my mind! Seeing them live is a must if they're near you.

I found out about Khruangbin when they opened up for Leon Bridges back in 2018, they've also since become one of my favorite bands. Their success is all the more impressive being that they're a 3-piece instrumental group, totally deserved!

Thanks for this video. I was unaware of Khruangbin but have been listening to them a lot since you posted this. I am really enjoying their music and he is an amazing guitarist.

I totally flipped over Khruangbin and binged on everything they had on youtube. Mark Speer captured my ears with his lush guitar playing. Laura Lee (Leezy) invented a new style of feminine campy stage outfits while playing infectious grooves. DJ (the clock) has a universe of nuances in his drumming. Then after a year of Khruangbin mania the pandemic lull sort of dulled my cult fascination. The shine left for me... and the sameness sunk in.

Agreed, after a while you want them to play more aggressive stuff. It’s too much of the same thing.

Yeah, you can’t listen to them over and over. It’s like some of the older jazz guys. Barney Kessel or Herb Ellis. I love their playing but every once in a while I’d think, “c’mon man, bend a string.” But I know it’s not them, it’s me.

@@nomadman123 you are so right because more often good jazz lays down a feel and tickles it slowly along making you beg for more action. Then when they let it rip you are so engrossed in the groove that you soar above it with them. Khruangbin leaves you dog paddling in the groove. It's a great groove but I can see in the comments here that I'm not alone wanting a little more rip. Maybe if I were younger and very stoned I wouldn't care.

One guy I really love is Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, his playing is that old school blues style.

Mark Speer is hands down the most interesting guitarist in the scene today. I saw K live a few months ago, they were absolutely phenomenal.
