I agree totally with Metheny regarding the sound influencing the way you play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I play the way I do because it allows me to come up with the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?
In fact, I had to make an enormous adjustment to this, not only in listening to it but in playing with it. It's a full sound. In some instances, you must have the volume to get the effect.
It's good to have certain restrictions sometimes, but it's definitely more fun to play really loud, with distortion.
I realized that equipment really had little to do with why I sound like the way I sound.
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.
I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.
In the right context, you can make ugly sounds, different sounds feel right at home.
I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn't really what I would want to go for.
An auditory scenario for the players to act out with their instruments.
