such an insanely cool groove
love when a song starts with a riff you hear one way, before another part comes in and rhythmically recontextualizes it - see 
Time & Place
Time & Place ...
i found this band entirely by accident and i love their sound so much, it's so cool. it's 2 keyboard players and a drummer and they play the weirdest grooves and all the keyboard lines are so intricate
i desperately want to play in a band that sounds like this
when i walk around nyc listening to their music i feel like i can walk through walls
...
unfortunately joining the ranks of songs with incredibly incredibly incredibly brain-meltingly good intro riffs - but the rest of the song is just OK
...
such an incredibly beautiful song, with such intricate production details i had never noticed
just noticed that the vocals in the second verse (1:00) are doubled on some kind of organ. sounds great
...
this song is just one chord getting louder and then getting softer (with another chord overlapping) and with bell chimes over it
i love ichiko aoba’s beautifully simple compositions
...
how it feels to meet someone who is the same kind of weird as you
...
i went to the clinamen exhibit and got curious and looked up clinamen on spotify hoping to find ambient singing bowl music
this is not anything like that but its also very cool. its a japanese jazz track with a really sick groove
...
nuclear grade hoe scaring music
1:58 “SAY BABY DO YOU WANT TO LAY WITH ME??” into 32 bars of nonsensical atonal guitar screeching
incredible work. thank you les claypool
...
i fucking love this bullshit ass guitar solo
it’s so bad it’s incredible. bro playing straight nonsense
...
shawty rapping in 3 languages. incredible
love the falsetto on the chorus 1:22
also love the classical guitar intro 0:08 - sets the tone for the spanish parts of the song
...
1:29 imagine getting ragdolled in a moshpit to this riff
...
incredible incredible opening guitar riff here - 0:02
sometimes i will feel disillusioned about Guitar and i feel like theres nothing cool left to do on the Guitar and then i'll hear a riff like this and it will reinvigorate me
that being said the rest of the song doesn't hit as hard for me. it's good but not as good as the intro
...
transcribing some chet baker! the lines here feel fairly approachable and transcribing a trumpet line will hopeful force me to think less like a guitar player and more like a musician
love the opening line from 0:00 to 0:05 leading into the melody reminds me of 
There Will Never Be Another You - Vocal Version
There Will Never Be Another You - Vocal Version
cool lick at 0:15
checkpoint 0:28
checkpoint 0:46
...
the singer in seven nation army says "im going down to wichita"
...
if you really think about it a software engineer is a kind of lineman
...
im not sure how this works but it does. so cool to hear the melody tapped out in harmonics at 0:20
also an insanely cool bass break at 2:57
then a monstrous guitar solo at 4:05
...
this song is mei semones' love letter to her guitar - "tora moyo" is a reference to the tiger stripes on her electric guitar
...
transcribing this! cheating a bit bc i nabbed the sheet music. but hopefully listening alongside will help
0:05 cheeky string jumping G minor lick
0:14 another g minor lick. doesn't fit in the key of b minor, wonder what the function is?
0:15 having difficulties with this phrase
0:25 checkpoint - start of sextuplet shreddy section. watch the accent!
0:30 end repeat sextuplets, phrasing changes
0:34 end sextuplet shreds
0:35 shreddy b7 arpeggio lick onto the 3rd
0:40 after dim lick
...
...
i fucking love the intro of this song 0:03
...
...
love the intro 0:02 that's almost entirely just guitar harmonics
...
vocal harmonies on the chorus are so beautiful (0:55)
...
guitarists be like "me and my guitar"
...
while i was training for a marathon i remember running across the brooklyn bridge 4 coffees deep 7 miles in when the chorus on this song came on [1:53] and immediately feeling like i had wings
...
there's a beat in the background that sounds like water dripping and it scratches my brain so good
...
insta reel on how the guitar riff at the start was created - very cool! i’ve been messing with palm muting a lot myself
...
...
guitar solo here at 4:59 is one of the best rock guitar solos ever
i want to transcribe it
progress: 5:11
lick at 5:07 is super hard i don’t think im playing it right
...
this song is a celebration of live music, the lyrics are all about a bunch of different bands and the musicians in them
“and harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene” - about the musician journeymen in it for the love of the game
...
...
beautiful piano piece from kurt rosenwinkel (who mainly plays jazz guitar). feels ethereal, like i'm staring out over a cliff on an alien planet
...
...
i dont speak japanese but i like to imagine ichiko aoba is bidding farewell to the depressed penguin in that werner herzog clip (Penguin, Depressed...)
...
listening to this made me think of a bunch of japanese jazz i listened to in college:
...
musically they’re quite different but this gives me the same sublime “season finale” feelings as 
Blues for Salvador
Blues for Salvador
like you’re watching the world end but it’s really beautiful
...
love this guitar phrase here where he just picks on one note repeatedly
...
another incredible solo guitar piece from julian lage. it's incredible and inspiring to see what he can do on his own with just his guitar
...
this is just julian and his guitar!
unbelievably inspiring solo guitar piece. there are times when i feel frustrated playing the guitar, when the instrument frustrates me and i feel like all the possibilities have been exhausted and there's nothing left to do, and seeing julian play something so beautiful reminds me that that's not true
...
i love the pedal point on this - the note played at 0:01 is repeated continuously and does not change until 2:38
creates such an interesting effect hearing the same note repeated while the rest of the song changes around it
