Mark Holcomb and John Browne are my two favorite guitar players and it still amazes me, that you can always hear that it is THEM. The second I heard that intro riff I was like "YO, that's a Mark riff!" and that whole song in general feels so much like Mark. He has such a unique style that you can't mistake for someone else.
@ChrisCasually Жыл бұрын
I actually said something like this to my wife. It’s one thing to have a style that people instantly recognize as a singer. People have very unique voices! But the fact that there are three guitarists in this band and you can clearly tell which one of them wrote which solo is beyond insane. How do you create such a unique voice for yourself using the same notes that’s available to everyone else. Nothing but genuine talent and artistry in this group.
@anonymouswombat8538 Жыл бұрын
The chill part and the melodic ending are like straight Bulb stuff. Idk, everybody complements each other so well on the band. We would be surprised to see who made who. That beggining and verse riff are SO Mark, though. Anyway for you to feel that deep connection with music is beautiful.

Agreed, but also a testament to how good an instrument the SE line is. I have three S2s and two SEs including the old MH model. The SEs are stupidly nice instruments for the price point. There’s tiny details I like “more” on the S2s but also some I like more on the SEs. I wouldn’t say the S2s are even necessarily “better” than the SEs to be frank. My only gripe is the SE tuners aren’t great. Replace those with some nice locking tuners and you have a beast of a guitar that punches way above its weight price wise.

I hope he takes pride in knowing this was probably the most well received song off of the album!
