Do the alternative rock bands know how to play the guitar?

In: Rocking in the free world Wednesday Dec 5,2007

alternative rock guitar players You know, I have asked myself if those guys in a punk rock band, or in an alternative rock band, are just that bad guitar players or they just follow the “lousy guitar player” trend in this musical style.

If taken out of their bands, would they still be able to play a decent tune or they would just go na nanan na until you crash the guitar on their heads?

By the way, I used to play alternative rock due to a 1 year contract but before that I was in pop-rock. And before that on hard-rock. Does this count or I have the alternative stamp all over me?

By the way, that’s me with my band playing alternative rock music.

Later edit: since this post generated quite an amount of interest, here’s a link to a post of mine on BandAMP website where I put an approximative translation of the above song lyrics. By the way, the song was ranked 4th for that period contest.

Sometimes it’s more about songwriting than technical skill. If you can connect to people, then sometimes actual technical playing is less important. And think about this, with the exception of musicians, most people don’t know good talent from bad. They just know if they like it or not. Dream Theater is probably the most talented band I’ve heard, but they often bore me to tears, while I can think of a dozen “simple” guitar solos that give me shivers because they speak to me. As for the asshole above, I’m glad you didn’t let him get to you.

Indeed, but I would also appreciate that musician to know what he does with his instrument. But here you are right, what you transmit to the public is more important than the technical skills. About Dream Theater, there are some songs such as Through her eyes or The spirit carries on or Another day that really get to you…
