I really, really fell in love with Dave and Gillian through Revelator. I loved those chords. I only listen and don't know music, but when I heard those chords it's like a whole new world opened up. I was blown away by it.
Personally I love 2nds, 9ths, 11ths... A lot of the South American / Brazilian composers I liked in college wrote chords for guitar like train wrecks. Beautiful stuff. and I hate it when the guitars go out of tune, it sounds so...whack. However, I do LOVE and respect dissonance. Not into Cage, but like it. :)
A chord can have many names..all depends on what came before it and what comes after it. I like this man, he is living his dream, and knows what making music is, as compared to copying music. Health and strength to this good man.
The person who stated the guitars were out-of-tune, have NEVER been exposed to progressive bluegrass. I consider that person to be either not know that much about music composition, or one who got stuck in music time back when.
This is a description of why it is so confusing to hear overtones when you are trying to determine what is flat, sharp, major, minor when a person can hear all the sounds/vibrations it can be all of them at once....
Yeah, it's a really great tool, especially when you are playing acoustically and you can't rely on the types of inter-modulation you can get with an over-driven electric to get the same tension and excitement. Buddy does this, too and I get a lot of mileage out of this. In fact, when I first heard David's playing I thought "Cool! you can actually get away with that" The key, though, is knowing how to resolve in just the right way for that big payoff.
yeah. Im tired of it. Ive got it since i was a kid. if you are turned on to music or tent to day dream or become animated when talking about tunes have any kind of infatuation with any kind of art people like to say you are high on something or other. fuck em.
Jimmy, he's not high. That's David. He has always talked exactly like this since he was a kid. I have known him that long and seeing him still so animated and excited about his passion is awesome!
The guitar on Revelator is one the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. David's guitar playing is second to none. Both he and Gillian are the Real deal.
@TheBullinamingvase I completely agree. Ive played stringed instruments for more than half my life in anything from metal to classical, and I will ALWAYS put David Rawlings in my favorite guitarist of all times. He is one of the few musicians out there that can convey a certain emotion for the entire song simply through what he picks in the background...does that make sense?
I love his excitement. I still feel that way about music after all these years!
