@@bdamotta Stephen and Greg Kubacki (Carbomb) were the two guys I looked forward to the most. I've always respected that Stephen clearly knows how to express himself thru guitar/songwriting more than many virtuosic players I've been around myself. Greg falls on the opposite end of the spectrum as far as actual technique/intensity goes, but describes his process and skill level largely the same. Absolute breath of fresh air these days.

Strum 2 stacked power chords for a whole song and everyone is like "he's not technical he's passionate" If he had passion he would riff harder. I'm good on "lazy passion." Passion doesn't come from playing slower. Passion and feeling comes from the way the notes and intervals build tension and resolve tension. You can build and resolve tension while "shredding" I hear passion in technical shreds, because I hear the tension build and resolve.
@b.p.51293 жыл бұрын
Stephen very much builds and resolves tension in ways that are powerful and interesting and he doesn’t have to do too much to do that. Which is why he’s a great and influential player to many, myself included. Of course having more chops is just having more tools in your arsenal to do such a thing, but people’s point isn’t to downplay shredding but to say that it’s just a tool and not necessary or a goalpost you have to reach to make great and enjoyable music.
