Dub-T-123 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I don’t think I’ve seen these guys mentioned here yet. This is some music nerd stuff, not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea. Even a lot of music nerds won’t like it and that’s ok but I think these guys are pretty groundbreaking. Listen to this song and then check out more by them if you like it. I think some of you will enjoy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 I have a decent idea of your taste and I specifically didn’t think you’d like them. I have limited context to listen to something like them but I find their approach really interesting. I think they’re going to be important for the advancement of guitar techniques in ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like just the other day I listened to Soft Machine - Bundles for the first time. I know who Allan Holdsworth is but forgot he was with them for a hot minute. He’s so damn good.

Tman Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I just learned about Tim Henson last night. I came across him reading about the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and he is one of their early adopters. Incredibly talented. Playing an Ibanez nylon string sig model. Sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the percussive/harmonics thing gets annoying for me. Just go get a hammered dulcimer sir. Highly technical at times and good chops. Easy to forget melody. I kinda like it. I often have trouble falling asleep because I have a song stuck in my head and ABC is one of them. My brain has been fried by a lot of vidja games n such though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryNimda Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Never saw these guys before. Personally I am not a big fan of the music "style"... However it is quickly apparent, that they are top-tier as guitarists, technically & artistically! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I don't think I could listen to an entire album of their music, but crikey they can certainly play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 My son turned me on to these guys about a year ago Talented guys, chops galore. But, Not something I would be able to listen to beyond one or two tunes at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 It refreshing to hear something thats not ultra heavy. The guitar voicings are nice, but I don't much care for the music itself. It sounds a bit bland to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I heard of and heard them was as one of the three opening acts for Hendrix in February of '68. And they were good. But at that time Kevin Ayres was their guitarist. Holdsworth didn't join them until sometime in the '70's. But as to the featured band, yeah, great chops, but the clip seems to be more about their wanking on Latin themes. I'll have to hear more from them to make a better informed opinion. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBSinTo Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Never heard of them, or ever to my knowledge have ever heard any of their music. They are very talented musicians but I think their music is of a style I could only enjoy in small, occasional doses.

sparquelito Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Interesting stuff. A bit over-produced. But good traveling music, I reckon, if you are driving down the highway and there's a storm coming. One thing, and this may seem petty. I don't mind ink, and most tattoos are passably attractive to me. But the center guitar player guy, and that full neck sleeve tattoo; It's distracting, visually, and off-putting. Great player though. Nice chops.😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well, I listened to the whole thing. So I must have liked something about it. But seriously, I thought they were very talented. In the right mood I could imagine myself listening to that style music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They’re certainly superior musicians, but my idea of music is Dylan, Cash, Prine, etc., strumming a guitar and singing about a “slice of life.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
