People complaining about simple songs is why I'm glad I never picked up a guitar. I can appreciate the music as whole, instead of just it's technical aspect.
@allthesecars Technical ability should be appreciated, but it should never be the only thing considered. If I can't relate to a song, or it doesn't change my mood or at least make me feel SOMETHING then it's not a good song. And I do play guitar. Not all guitarist think only about technical ability.
honestly...kurt vile is a great guitarist....i've found in his albums a magic sound!!!!...but i can't find melodic creativity...i think that if he would play guitar without sing he will be 1000 times better!!
Clapton said it best in his autobiography, talking about how in his opinion, the best guitar players are those who can make interesting songs out of little more than one chord.
chords don't matter man, a song's ability isn't based on it's variation or structure. it's about how it sounds and how it makes you feel,3 chords or 24 chords .anyone with me? i've only just discovered kurt vile, thanks to an album review that intrigued me. i dig this song, it's therapeutic, feels like it's trying to bring people out of a dark place.
@SoasisG when i was at bonnaroo last year i met this faggot fukking indie kid that kept trashing bands for just playing power chords. my favorite bands nirvana, so needless to say he pissed me off a great deal. "there's no such thing as simple. simple is hard" -Martin Scorsese
@SoasisG Well, to add a little bit more, good music (and great music) has its character come from timbre and phrasing and warmth not just technicalities. That are a lot of guitar wizards out there who can fire off a thousand notes in three seconds or cram seven time changes in three minutes and its about as interesting to listen as paint drying. I like more complex things and less complex things but its the character of the piece that makes art, art - complex or simple.
@assaglioli not 3 chords 3 intervals. Common mistake but it transcends into any key signature, both minor and major. You are right but kind of fundamentally wrong at the same time. Mad love for Kurt all things aside.
@assaglioli hahahah embarrassed by your ignorance, i was just saying man, settle the fuck down, this is about Kurt Vile- not you. As much as that may disgruntle you. Its the way it is.
@assaglioli you're made of just four molecules which comprise DNA. These four molecules are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. God just one upped rock n roll

This is great! Not to mention, he has the same initials as Kurt Vonnegut. That has to count for something.

Check out Dave Matthews band if you just want a lot of chords. These three chords are apparently plenty for a beautiful song.
