I think it was a few months ago, maybe more (maybe an SPF?) where Brad said he wasn't interested in Polyphia because, even though they were very technically skilled, I want to say he said their stuff was boring and unmemorable. I thought that was pretty harsh, I was into them at the time, but thinking back I think it's telling how the only guitar line from any of their songs I remember was Steve Vai's part in the song they collaborated on.

I also didn't get how much he disliked Distrubed's version of Sound of Silence, until I heard the same thing with a song I really loved (Saul's version of Welcome To The Machine). I get it now. I'm going to chalk that up to two points for Brad.

Maybe it's just because I'm getting older, but my tolerance for BS is getting steadily lower.

Scarred Acoustic Guitar Outtakes

Here are some unused outtakes from my recent video. This is me jamming to see what comes out, while in the process of writing the demo piece at the end of the video. At one point, I did use a section of this jam as the intro of the demo, but unfortunately my AT4040 mic into the interface malfunctioned and rendered most of that stuff unusable in the end. This is just what was picked up by the onboard camera mic. Some of it was actually pretty decent. I felt inspired anyway. When I feel like I'm jelling with an instrument or amp or whatever, I like to just let the camera and mics roll and see if anything is worth keeping. Sometimes magic happens, sometimes nothing seems to be worth a single solitary shit. Most of the time, it's a mixed bag. It's funny listening back to stuff like this as the guy who did it, I can always predict where I'm probably about to go with it, even if I don't remember specifically anything I played. Funny how the mind works like that. As for the onboard camera ...
