Title: Amazing guitarist
Post by: Barklessdog on February 24, 2009, 09:44:47 AM: I found this guitarist on SoundClick.com
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=147108

He goes under "Bulb" - not everyones cup of tea, but amazes me just the same.

I can't see what's so amazing about this guy?
All I hear is a guitar that is slightly out of tune, sloppily playing along with undefinable racket.

Is that something like an ear-llucination? ;)

I've always said that John's affliction is progressive. It goes from bad to worse. :mrgreen:

Post by: rahock on February 27, 2009, 06:37:01 AM: I guess the fact that it's his own song can negate the fact that he is out of tune and credit it to creativity :)

Well, I think if it weren't a blur, and the guitar wasn't a little wanky, what he was TRYING to do might have been interesting. I got a sense that there may have been some content underneath that wall of mush.
