oh yeah, i went there

I couldn't do a taste test if I wanted, because I never got a good take. A, B, C and beyond would just be punk rock guitar over outlaw country. All of you would end up checking the "neither" box.

And, that was me talking to Bart. I am the producer/band leader/singer/songwriter/gig-getter/PA owner/etc.

the solos sound nothing like punk, have you heard punk music before?

I've heard punk music before, sure.

What I saw in the studio from this guy was very punk. It was guitard anarchy!

He pushed the strings so hard they almost went off the fretboard!

How is that professional behavior?

it sounded pretty basic for a country music solo, and i think a lot of other people agree.
also i think your a jack*** for posting that audio clip just to deface your friend

His guitar playing would have spoke for itself eventually. Would you get mad at me for putting his name in the credits as the guitar player. Would that be rude too?

he's your guitar player. but seriously it sounds fine, just let him do it. you guys are in a band. a band is multiple musicians working together on making music. so look at his side of the argument. whether you think you're right or not at least talk to him about this instead of insulting him behind his back.

Thanks for your insight. I think you might want to take another listen to the song though.

I couldn't care less how the guy looks when he's playing, it sounds great.

Did you even listen to the song in question? Are you serious?

khfreek · 06-04-2009, 10:05 PM

Yes, I listened, and I am serious. His playing has a lot more character than most southern rock/country guitarists I've heard. I guess since it's basically your band AND your album, you get to decide the musical direction the album takes, but I think you'd be losing an asset if you got rid of him. Be more open to experimentation, dude!
