The older I get, the more I just like plugging directly into my amp. I'm tired of trying to impress myself with weird sounds. It's about the notes more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.
Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise.
Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier.
I've been making some more electronic music, which I really enjoy doing.
I play with feeling so I need to hear what is coming out of the amplifier to inspire me; I don't just play mechanically. I need to hear what I am doing in order to create the next note. If I don't hear it then I can't feed myself.
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
In the past, I have not been able to hear myself. I play with feeling so I need to hear what is coming out of the amplifier to inspire me; I don't just play mechanically.
I like working with modern sounds in the studio as much as I'm happy to work with a basic rock n' roll format.
My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.
I've always played every amp I've ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that's how you get your sustain.
