I like Dave. He doesn't pretend the biggest guitarrist in the world. His abilities are very average, but maybe this is the reason, his talent is not cramped by the rules and the proccess of creation is so spontaneous.
gotta have respect for someone who writes what sounds good, instead of relying on what theory tells you to play you play what sounds good, i think a lot of theory buffs forget the concept of sounding good
Finally someone with the same philosophy about music. Using your ears man!!! thats the best way in my opinion, and if your good enough, u can bypass the rules of composition and make some awesome shit!
This was refreshing. I can't read music to save my life, and I find odd chords/notes and play with them. Just makes me appreciate Dave Grohl'e process even more.
It's cool. I've always thought Dave's guitar riffs were inspired by the fact that he was a drummer first. They always have such a unique rhythmic quality and I always attributed that to his being a drummer. And that seems to be the case!
I think when he doesn't know music he's been a tad sarcastic. It's his way of saying he's not technical or classical about his music knowledge. He's not too concerned about the rules of composition, if it sounds good it's worth checking out. I also get that his song playing is very strongly influenced by his drumming style; which more often than not is forming a drumline that mimics parts of the guitar section.
while I believe that Dave is honest in all of the interviews I've seen, at times there is a lot of humor used which just leads me to believe he's trying to keep his serious/intimate side out of the conversation. but when he begins saying "I don't know anything about music...", it's such an open and honest side of him that I haven't seen much of. he talks about 'sensitive' subjects (like Kurt and Nirvana), but it's usually followed by something funny. this interview was very refreshing.
as much as i love dave grohl to death, people need to stop worshiping him like he's the greatest singer/guitarist/drummer of all time. great drummer, one of my favorites in modern times, but he isn't the almighty songwriter that everyone's been obsessing about since wasting light came out.
And it's that easy, kids. Pfff! What really burns my wig is that they write a lot of these tunes DURING the recording sessions, play them down a few times, and then put it to tape (literally, 2" tape).
@Kingddd333 don't limit your ability or potential for the sake of "I never took lessons, I cant read/write music, I don't know anything about it" type of bragging rights. Its not worth it.
@Stephenplaysmusic Not for brag reasons. I do take lessons, not taking lessons impairs actually learning how to play. I am still learning music theory, I just don't like using it like mad in song writing, I just like to put in what plays in my head, and what sounds good.
@Kingddd333 May limit learning ability, but i'm pretty sure guitarists like Billy Corgan and Dave Grohl who have had huge success with the Smashing Pumpkins and The Foo Fighters aren't struggling. Learning yourself actually expands your thinking a bit more as you don't focus on specific scales etc. As well as this it is very satisfying when you actually learn things on your own, it takes longer but you work your own way of doing things which may or may not sound good.
It seems as though every guitar player I like cannot read music and knows very little about music theory, at least for the earlier parts of their career, which, often times, is my favorite part of their career
@IFightFoo He's not a liar, why say such a thing. I have been playing guitar since 1981 and I cannot read music. Yes I know what a stave is and what 4/4 timing is and I also know what a dotted eight note is and a major scale etc as does Dave grohl. You just pick up this stuff as you go along, what Dave is saying is he will play a chord and will not know what chord it is, I am sure he can work it out and tell you but it is above his head as it is mine or possibly does not interest him
@IFightFoo I think what Dave was saying was that he finds a chord that sounds cool (as he demonstrated in the song Rope) and he uses it, but he is telling the truth in the fact that he does not know what chord it is. Sure he will be able to work it out as I could but even with the ability to work it out he (like myself) would not call ourselves music readers per se. He plays and discovers as he goes along, which in my opinion is the best way to go
He can't read music .... Eddie Van Halen said the same thing many many years ago..I'm not saying learning music theory is a bad thing but I do believe having no boundaries frees up your originality and promotes innovation and this is in my opinion why Dave Grohl's work is attractive as you have no idea what is around the corner.... in other words it's far less predictable.
@TalkToTheBody You, sir/ madame, make a very good point.Almost makes me wish i hadn't made it one of my goals to learn as much about musical theory as i could...
@shako9876 thanks for that, nice touch. Another thing I have noticed is Dave Grohl rarely plays solos, no idea why but if he shares my opinion it's because many solos are self-indulgent periods of boredom. The Edge also rarely plays solos, I think these two guitarists instinctively know if a solo is needs and do not resort to the "so where can we fit this solo in" ritual as used by most bands and guitarists. I just find the Foo Fighters a breath of fresh air.
@TalkToTheBody Sorry for butting in on your discussion but I was interested in what you were saying. I think players like Dave Grohl, The Edge or Keith Richards don't play many solos because, yes, soloing can easily slip into self-indulgent tedium but more importantly, they regard themselves are players within a unit, supporting the song, rather than virtuosos who occassionally step outside of the song for their own glory. The Edge has said as much and Richards is clearly the Riff Master!
Dave is proof you don't need to be a godly player, write amazing songs with complicated notes or know how to read/write music perfect...just have fun and play
@hoiaxel Cobain always played kind of sloppy to get that grunge sound, but i saw a show on tv talking about his early life, he played guitar from his very early teens up until his death, so id assume he was much more capable with the instrument than most people think.
@PBANDSNOW dude, you dont have to explain to me who Dave Grohl is; But, i mean Nirvana lasted for 4 years with Dave as their drummer, but the Foo Fighters have been around for 16 years, man. I think it's safe to say he belongs to the Foo Fighters at this point.
I like how he says he knows nothing about music but then he starts talking and says once he has the riff out then he had to find the root of it haha you are a true musician Dave
I wish Dave was my guitar teacher. Love how he admits he doesn't know everything about music but still makes THE BEST music around! Dave, you're the coolest guy ever.
Goddammit! I think I'm not the only guitar player in this world, who wishes so bad having like 1/500 of Dave's talent and genius! But I gave that up long time ago! This man is just too good and all-rounded! He's such a inspiration and such a decent, friendly, laid-back guy and then he fucking explodes on stage! Long live Dave and long live the Foo Fighters!
@perfectionless i've played guitar for like 10 years and can't read a single note of sheet music. if you aren't in a fucking orchestra or something, and if you never plan on a career as being a studio musician, there isn't much of a reason to know or care about it. i'm extra dumb though, because as a kid, i quit playing saxophone in school, reading music for like 2 years, right before i started playing guitar. apparently touching a guitar made me forget every single stupid note symbol
it shocked hell out me when he said he couldn't read music and yet he's still a musical genius and you're my favorite artist/band of all time!!!! just saying
@ridck369 You really dont need to know music theory, well not like these classical players know music theory up the ass. It does help you out when your writing music to know some theory. Just know the basics and you'll be fine. Look at dave grohl, he said he cannot even read music, and hes a gift from god.
If you can read music, that's great. if you can't, BUT you can hear and understand music that puts you way ahead of everyone. This is what makes Dave such a God. Thumbs up if you agree.
I like Dave. He doesn't pretend the biggest guitarrist in the world. His abilities are very average, but maybe this is the reason, his talent is not cramped by the rules and the proccess of creation is so spontaneous.
