He really is. Sonic Youth are my favorite band of all time, and I’ve loved his solo stuff since Psychic Hearts came out. I find it fascinating that he’s said in interviews that he really doesn’t know how to play guitar, in the traditional sense. He’s said he can’t play basic barre chords, or open chords, which is why he developed his method of tuning alternatively. He’s said his older brother was a decent guitarist, but he’s never been able to play traditional chords.

I saw him perform at the knitting factory in NYC some time in the mid 90’s. His guitar playing that night blew my sonic mind apart! On certain parts of his solo that night, I swore it sounded like 2 genius guitarists playing at once.

@lewismason2829 5 ай бұрын

I don't know how he does it. For me he is better than any other musical artist, in terms of the number of times he has managed to create something that really hits a nerve. I think it must have something to do with whatever is deep inside him, a feeling, idea and form of communication that is totally unique and so rich. I mean there is the guitars, musicians and equipment he uses but beyond that, even just the sound and the quality of it. It's immense and intense. I can only pray that one day I get to see him live with a band and for him to play all those songs I love. One of my life's hopes. Without doubt a special human. And also Steve Shelley.

Playing a guitar like that, he must go through a new set of strings every day

@dudeman5303 2 жыл бұрын

You'd be surprised, you kinda get used to beating guitar strings and it is kinda like you just have to hit it a certain way that prevents it from breaking. It could have a lot to do with the guitar he uses though too. I have a few different ones and some are more likely to break strings than others, though one one in particular something needs to be filed down because it's always a 1.5 step bend on the high e string that breaks it and it never breaks strings on my other guitars. But I tend to strum/pick pretty damn hard when I play a lot of things, and it's not very common I break strings usually.

@dudeman5303 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry I know I edited that comment a few times, I just wanted to state one more thing. The biggest thing by far is learning what you can get away with on what guitar/s you're using. That's the way I should've worded it from the start, I have no clue why I didn't word it like that before. Basically some guitars can take a massive beating and others a re more delicate. I have an old peavey guitsr from the 80s that breaks strings way too often, but my tele is less frequent, and my strat almost *never* breaks a string. On my tele and strat I tend to end up changing the strings before they break, and that's with intense string beatings lol)
