Dang It Bhabhi! posted:Stop playing so god damned fast what's the rush? Fun fact: a lot of the style of modern rock guitar solos is actually a side effect of the way musicians' contracts were negotiated in the 80s and 90s. In an effort to create a more "equitable" distribution of royalties for mechanical song rights that rewarded musicians for their actual contribution instead of just for showing up, several record labels adopted a strategy of paying instrumentalists by the note. This resulted in a situation where guitarists and keyboard players were paid far more per song than bass players, a phenomenon which guitarists began to exploit heavily by adopting a solo style that involved picking as fast as humanly possible. Because rights were proportional, a good shredding guitar solo could basically drive a bass player's share in the mechanical rights down to almost zero, which bass players typically didn't fight back against because they're bass players and therefore constantly high and bad with money. Early speed metal was actually intended to be a humorous ironic commentary on the labor issues created by these absurd contracts, but it quickly morphed into its own thing when oblivious fans began treating it seriously as music. Record labels eventually took the hint and stopped allocating royalties based on number of notes, but by that time the shredding guitar solo had become entrenched and fans had actually grown to like it. The damage was done, and guitar solos have never been the same since. The really stupid thing about the whole affair is that a cursory knowledge of music history would have told the labels that this was a bad idea; the exact same thing had already happened in bluegrass many decades earlier.

Thanks in part to this thread raising my awareness of the dangers of creeping bluesdaddery, I actually went out and played rock music loudly with other people last night. It was fun as hell and I'm gonna do it again.

We seriously considered Gang Vape for a bit but a) we're growing out of the shock rock thing b) and it was always pretty lame to start with. There's a group of older lads near us who play in an Oi band called Inequality Street. They take a lot of poo poo for it though.

I think Inequality Street is a pretty decent song by Skyclad. At least, the pub version is good. The original never really stuck in my head, and most Skyclad tunes sound better in pub arrangements anyways.

I've never played a Dumble but nothing about an amp has ever struck me as worth the money people ask for it. Same with 59 LPs. I mean, I'm sure they're great but really, over $100k for one? I don't know if I'd ever be convinced any individual piece (guitar, amp head, cab) would ever be worth more than four figures honestly. I don't think pedals and the like are worth over three figures, either. Not when clones are available that are, for all intents and purposes, the exact same thing without the stupid price tag. I think a whole lot of people do their "listening" with their eyes and wallets.

Thing is, my family was super supportive of my playing early on, still is. My girlfriend always mentions how nice me playing for her would be. I don't. Because I'm an anxious confidence pit. I'm starting a YouTube channel within the next month though to practice getting over that. It's a pretty huge block for someone who wants to share art and music and I know it's worth pushing through. e/ning the stupid music poo poo thread, hell yeah
