Another guitar fakery video, this one about Tim Henson

[DanTravis62]

Fair enough, but I still have to include Tammy in my top 20… because unlike youuuu DAN I’m.. not.. sexist

top 20 most stunning and brave and FIERCE transwomen?

Yeah, Tammy has to be there - up with Vinnie Vincent. C.C. Deville, the 3rd Power shemale, ChuggNorris, and Gary

He reminds me of one of these tribal women.

It's insane, i don't listen to "jam" music at all, but being able to improv is one of the most important things on the instrument

Is this a generational thing? Because if so, their generation sucks

Improv is how I write almost all of my best melodies and ideas

There's things that come out in the moment that are IMPOSSIBLE to "write" because you'd never think of them consciously

I play guitar pretty much every day and have for almost 40 years. I never play a song at home. It’s all improv. Could be considered loud noodling, I guess. Lol

In my cover band, I only improve on some leads where it makes sense. I usually try to play close to the original. I think the jam band stuff all night would be too long and boring for me.

I also never play a song at home. I just keep moving on like one of those transients ICE is looking for but I'm not stateside. Cue the shiteratti highlands, their pawns in the CIA and a shit tonne of bugs on my recording computer caused by agents looking up gay porn when the machine is idling and sometimes when it's not.

The snark isn't missed on me or anyone else. I complain about my feed being watered quite frequently around these parts. I mean, I don't get what they get out of it. I mean, they eat at McDonald's every now and then, and I'd argue that's all the revenge I need without stooping down to that level.

I also wonder why why don't want to apply the coup de grace. Probably because said water dribbles down their legs like the best part of their pappy when Junior was born.

So acting like that isn't already a fait accompli, it's a bit disingenuous, don't you think?

The YouTube/Metal-Gang should see all the posts about people being sick of those shills manipulating their audio, audiences and viewer click numbers to appear relevant. Sure, they can manipulate computers and pretend to be big stars in the digital realm - with said AI, tech corporations and Shiteratti circles to back them up - but that's just living out some brash fantasy.

To be clear, no one else likes them.

And let's not pretend this doesn't happen to anyone else. Heck, those a**holes probably use carcinogens and arsenic to prove they did anything other than write good music.

What’s the initiation process look like for joining the Metal Gang? You gotta like, admit you enjoy making those thumbnails?

What kind of activities do they get into that would earn them the ‘gang’ moniker? They human trafficking hoes via mimed videos and IG views?

…..pouring water in their Youtube feed.

As long as it isn't being poured on my V30's

I think these days, you got to show up and rock the vote for the "preferred candidate", who goes on to facilitate human trafficking, bot farming and the obligatory communal cannibal feasts every week.

I used "preferred candidates" in quotes, because that's how the circles of the gang work. Lower echelon, higher echolon. Like that. Support with your clicks and likes works perfectly, while at the higher circles, donate tonnes of money to control the government and the military.

Back in the old days a pair of British Knights and an Iron Maiden, Kreator, or AC-DC t-shirt and leather mc jacket seemed to be good enough provided you had long hair. I had all that stuff except my mom wouldn't throw down for the leather jacket. She said they weren't warm so all that happened is I got my ass kicked at bonfire parties by guys who had mom's that would spring for the jacket.

Right on, maybe Glenn Fricker can do some videos on military spending and how much we don’t need to spend, then.

Hahahahah snap, is this the origin story of ‘from bonfire’?

At home I am exactly the same. My wife gets mad because its always noodling. "Why don't you play a song?" Pipe down, woman!

As far as in the cover band, I am kind of the opposite. There are a couple songs that I try to keep basically "as on the record", but the bulk I do what I want. The ones I do as recorded are usually solos that have recurring themes, otherwise I just try to match the vibe.

It's a true story but I just came up with the VonBonfire handle one day cause it was fire related and I was probably feeling a bit chilly.

As soon as they said they cut Steve’s solo up to make a new I knew I’d never listen to that shit . But I think the dudes point shoukd be the new guys can’t play shit with out ore writing it . They don’t know how to just jam at all . Play soulful and shred on the spot . That’s my fav thing about guitar . Improv . They can’t improv for shit. Jason Richardson is one of my fav guitarists . His technique is astounding . But he can’t just jam . He admits it . I think that destroys the fire in solos .

Great post. When YouTube first became a thing I was left with the conclusion I sucked because 11 year olds in Japan were on vids shredding me under the table.

Fast forward all these years later, I see guitar players considered elite, that in the vids that are out there, they cannot jam/improv at any respectable level.

It definitely gave me perspective. Not trying to say I’m anything special, I’m just a fan that happens to play guitar and still puts a lot of effort into it because I enjoy it. But improvisation has been a prioritized skill since I was a kid.

I was taken aback a bit when I realized some of the hot shots of today went from A level to Z level if they weren’t playing a note for note pre-rehearsed woodshedded guitar part. Never even considered a player that’s supposed to be elite would look and sound incompetent on a I IV V blues jam.

Nothing against anyone that mostly plays note for note stuff they learn. All good with me. But I thought the best of the rock/metal/guitar based genre players would be at least improving at the level of a novice-intermediate jazz player.

Other side of the coin: I improv to the point of full circle laziness where I won’t learn a solo and don’t transcribe. If I got the riff/chords I ain’t diving in more than that unless I’m studying a particular player. So my dedication to improv has made me a terrible cover band guitarist. I can solo over any cover song you play, but the fellas at the VFW don’t want to hear me try my latest sax player mimics over War Pigs haha.

 

[Metalhex]

I've been playing for nearly 30 years and still can't improvise worth a shit. If I tried, I would just be hitting all the wrong notes. I've learned a whole bunch of scales and even then for the life of me cannot figure it out

Well, the US' assets are $6t and debt is $40t. That's a pointer towards insolvency. We don't need a Fricker video, the whole place is about to go belly up.
