Deroplatys

Using vintage music gear to dive into sonic depths and cover lesser-known tracks. 

• All songs are solved by ear, mainly in the alternative veins of sonic exploration like the 1980's, post-punk, new wave, shoegaze, and indie music. A lot of trial/error and watching old show recordings if they exist is involved. The "hard" is what makes figuring out songs fun. 
• I'm a "pedal guy" and love to talk gear and creations of sound. 
• I play what inspires me, not you. I'm not a cover-by-request player. 
• I feel a lot of TY covers "hide" their guitar behind the songs. 90% original/10% volume on themselves so it sounds good. The point covering is the listener is hearing you.
• I don't write or respond to "tab" writing requests or making how-to-play videos.
