I actually learned guitar & was heavily influenced by black flag. I 1st learned easier songs by the Misfits & Samhain...then attempted to learn black flag & dead kennedys songs by ear. I got good enough without lessons that I learned "in my head" by black flag as a teen which is pretty good in my opinion. Greg & East Bay Ray were 2 of my inspirations as a punk kid in the 90s trying to learn guitar & bass...but it was solos that always stumped me. Can do all the rhythm parts & the easier solos but to this day I'm just a rhythm guitarist apparently lol

[@ScottGuitar]

right on. Great bands to lean from! Lead guitar just takes lots of practice, but you don't have to be technically amazing to create great solos. Some great punk guitarists like Ginn and Johnny Ramone did a lot while keeping it simple. Thanks for watching!

[@nonservitium]

Ginn's guitar playing is the only thing I respect about him

[@hellghillies6892]

are u in anthrax?

[@ScottGuitar]

Haha

[@fallspeed]

Did Ginn do anything in particular to get that special tone of his? Your guitar doesn't sound quite the same as his.

[@ScottGuitar]

I’m not sure what exactly he was using. I heard he used some solid state ampeg amps and he used the clear ampeg guitar. He had an unorthodox setup. Also I’m playing through a POS Marshall combo. You could probably get closer to his tone with an ampeg solid state amp and a guitar with humbuckers.

[@Derpis03]

if you want that really muddy gin noise then put your midd and bass to 10 and your treble to 6 and your gaim at about 10 or 6

[@BrianSweda]

I guitar was wired with no volume knob. Just a switch. Which is why it goes from zero to feedback.

[@kevinhogan7814]

Originally released as 33 1/3 RPM EP, not a 45. Sorry to be "that guy."

[@ScottGuitar]

Thanks for the correction. I looks like it was originally released as a 12" record that plays at 45 RPM. At least that's what my early version is and what Discogs says.

[@Matthijsklaassen]

I wonder sometimes how intentional Ginn's style of playing is.

[@ScottGuitar]

I wonder the same. However, even it wasn’t intentional, he still influenced a ton of guitar players with his loose atonal style.

[@NathanLJustice]

It was very intentional. I've discussed it with him several times. Waaay back in the 90s he showed me the ins and outs of the Process of Weeding Out. It's controlled chaos.

[@kevinhogan7814]

I saw him live enough times to know it was a design. Like Debussy or Chopin he probably hit on his innovations accidentally, but he incorporated them into a new style through sheer force of will. No band ever worked harder against the forces that break up bands than Black Flag in the 80s.
