estebanana -> RE: Picado on Electric Guitar (May 5 2021 0:31:16)

Methane-san wrote a piece for Jason Vieaux based on the metal band Pantera guitarists licks. Vieaux can really play metal, he did that as a teenager. It’s great piece, I heard excerpts in the interview of Methane-san after this recording came out recently. He wrote music for the LA guitar quartet and Vieaux. He tried to get LAGQ to play with thumb over the fingerboard to get certain voicings and they unanimously said no, that’s one technical boundary. I thought that was wise. The piece with the flamenco like strumming is the least interesting however, it sounds like a bunch of hippies in a park with guitars and tambourine bongos. Picado on electrical guitar, why bother? Reverend Gary Davis, barely touches the guitar and all kinds of sounds come out. We’ve gotten to a place that’s weirdly appreciative of spectacle over what’s actually good.
