Like this:

Since the conversation was diverting from the topic of 10cc, I thought I could continue here? I don't want to spam the 10cc thread. So ... What do you mean by "widdly diddly doo's?" Is it riffing or soloing? Is It sweeping? Is djent or related to it? Is it the amount or type of distortion?

I didn't make it through the whole Marc Rizzo video. Flamenco Djent or Salsa Sweeping (or whatever it's called) isn't my thing, sorry. I hope you don't become disjointed by me saying that ... or should I say 'disdjented?'

Anyways, I recently found this video and thought I would share. I'm not saying it's better than Rizzo's song. It's just that the video showcases some of the things I prefer. Guitar playing-wise: I think this is a good example as any of using clean guitar sound. To me it could easily be The Ventures doing a cover of a Mason Williams song but it's her own composition AFAIK.

No problem buddy.

From just a quick skim through that vid, it's sounds a bit stiff and sterile. There's no meat to it and she seems to be phoning it in. Sure it's nice, but it just doesn't 'do it' for me musically. I'm weird, jaded, and set in my ways though.

When I say widdly diddly doo's (a term coined by Frownland), I'm talking about sweeping arpeggio's with tremolo picking. The kind that Malmsteen brought into the spotlight and now so many others have mastered like Guthrie Govan. I was also being a bit facetious, but there's still some truth to what I was getting at.

I think I've seen you mention that you play guitar, but I'm not sure, so I have no clue if you know what it feels like to play heartfelt solo's and technically brilliant passages like this:

Short and funky jams are just what the Dr ordered on this fine Monday morning:

Fascinating, I don't know that Frownland was Tina Sempec and wrote children books.

To answer that properly I have to give a tldr story, my apologies in advance. So I was at Guitar Center testing out an EHX pedal, but also enjoyed playing the combination of a Squire guitar through a Fender amp. I played Anytime by Duane Eddy. I did some Luther Perkins/Bob Wootton stuff too. There were other guitar players there doing more advanced stuff. Instead of sticking with stuff I knew I struggled with song I didn't know. It was and EHX organ pedal so I trying to play organ riffs by ear. While I was sitting there wallowing in shame bordering on self loathing, a guy came over and told me I was pretty good, what I played was classy. I think he was impressed by the way Green Onions sounded through the EHX B9. He said he liked (what he called) "old fashion" guitar playing (ie Anytime), and that he doesn't hear it too often. He liked how I got Telecaster tones out of the Stratocaster I was playing.
So to answer your question I know both sides of the coin. I know the pain and humiliation of being a subpar guitar player playing in public. But I know what feels like playing my heart out of a song because I think it's the cat's pajamas ... and maybe be lucky enough to get a compliment.

He's got a catchers mitt for a face, but man that boy could play.

Cool story my friend.

Following up a bit... I have a lot of respect for players that don't feel the need to play fast, technical pieces and just play what feels right for the moment. Some of my favorite solo's and tunes are just simple sections and riffs, but very well placed and they convey what they're supposed to without the "Look what I can do!" mindset. They set aside ego and create a shared feeling without having to be better then everyone. They connect rather than set apart. It's a beautiful thing.

It seems Steve tore a tendon while making pizza last year. 2 hands are overrated... I guess.
