Exactly. For some reason, most players feel the need to chime in....just to hope we know that you can also play.It's an odd alpha/jocky thing. Yes, we get it- go to guitar land and solo if you like. I've been playing for 25 years (see what I did there?Lol) There's 2 talking points. Have you written your own album/s and genre that the masses adore? Why not? Chemistry and timing are amazing.The dude oozes rock n roll.

Josh is a riff machine and a beast of a guitarist. He undersells himself here by saying he's not, but I get the message. It's important to just play to satisfy yourself. I don't know what I'd do without the meditative quality of just playing guitar to relax and have an outlet

I love Josh as a player simply because he does stuff no one else does, does it well, and he is not afraid to swing, which is missing a lot in rock music. His ear is fantastic as well. FYI: the mode he's working on when he's describing how he takes some notes out of the scale he's in…is basically Lydian Dominant, which is the 4th mode of melodic minor. He's playing the D7#11 - D7 motif, so that's A melodic minor. In case you were interested. :)
