hearing scott talk about the southwales music scene back in day really got me nostalgic, playing gigs with these guys then was such a surreal time in my life, will always look back at those time with love

[@mikelights6557]

Yes Scott! My favourite modern songwriter ❤️ so glad you are getting the recognition you deserve!

[@cpsedmonds]

Scott's playing style to me is quite similar to that of a strings section. The chord phrasings in particular fill so much space and range, you could easily notate his parts for an orchestra without changing anything.

I love this Holding Absence

[@joshuabenton3785]

Just got into them. Holy cow that tone. I need to make it now.

[@Vixfor_]

Can't wait for their next album, the both albums they released hold so much atmospheric vibes and the whole ambience of feelings, this is incredible!

This man is a treasure

[@arisnurcahyoofficial]

Talented guy!

[@HollowEmptiness]

How did I missed it?

[@bensontag892]

Does anyone know the exact chords he’s playing around the one minute mark? I know the low strings are just barre chords in Drop C# but I cant tell what he’s playing on the G B and E strings.

[@MarkusKarppinen]

He’s playing the same chords at 3:50, getting a better view right there. First chords seems to be barre at 8th fret, B and G strings fret at 10th. Second chord seems to be something like this, from low to high string: 10, 10, 10, 10, 8, 12

Where can I find this Jazzmaster?

[@stephaneaudet]

It's not only headroom about 100 Watts but it's more bass , more fat , more tight.100 Watts are really heavy.

[@bluesdealer]

What song do the chords go to?

[@andresotalora830]

I don't know the first one but the last one is Curse me with your kiss. Beautiful riff

[@andrekeller6161]

The first song is Your Love

[@bluesdealer]

@@andrekeller6161 ah, yes, I went and figured that out on my own back when nobody replied the first day, but thanks! Great song!

@@miguelmatias629 to yours maybe. To mine those chords are beautiful

[@andresotalora830]

su estilo de riff es de emo rock/metal. Tiene su sonido unico combinado con los otros instrumentos. Su estilo es full bright y con todas las cuerdas posibles como explica al final. Yo lo veo muy especial y unico y no es para nada feo. Escucha sus canciones y entenderas
