Okay so...

 

Hi, I'm from France, I heard about this BBS first from the rock-off contest then at the December 15th at the O² show, I met two girls who told me about Coldplaying dot com so I thought "Okay, why not join?"

 

Okay so... Have any questions? :)

Welcome..:D

Are you related to Woodie or Arlo Guthrie???;)

Any particular instrument? Woody Guthrie was vocals and guitar; folk singer & story teller - along those lines?

Hmmm...

Still learning guitar and vocals, playing a little bass on my "The Best Bassist In The Whole World" 's gear, trying some piano too and a lot of story telling of course. And I don't do just folk, I (try to) go from hip-hop to post-rock :p

 

 

 

Good luck to you guy,Wish you can success.

Greetings Josh Guthrie!

Well rounded - that's an excellent way to approach things it seems, as then you have a good understanding of the other music parts in any group you're with.. Woodie Guthrie would be proud of you! And I think you have an excellent approach to seeing the development of music, from folk and the story-telling aspect that goes with it, to modern forms (often built upon the folk songs). All I do well at is keyboard and occasionally hand drums (mostly for fun), and I used to be able to play flute as well.

Anyhow, keep up the great work!!

Wow, thanks for such kind words, I feel so unworthy ^^;

 

For me, story-telling is an important part of the process. My music-loving grew up with the likes of Nine Inch Nails and my mind got settled on "a concept-album or nothing" and there's nothing I hate more than the "okay guys we have like fifty songs, let's wrap them all into a nice CD and throw dices to decide the track ordering" approach... So for now, all the ideas flowing in my mind revolve around stories and I want my stories to make listeners feel something new, at peace, uneasy, joyful, sad, empathic,... A whole bunch of emotions :)

 

I'm trying to use different instruments so I can get an idea of the way they are played and used into a song. Though not as good as my bassist (who plays guitar better than me, yeah I suck at music), I still try to account for the way each instrument is used so they can be used the better way in each song :)

Nine Inch Nails?!:o That's a surprise, coming from a mostly folk musician! (I have to admit, I like their music too - it's so captivating, it would be hard not to like it!);)

I'm sure you're excellent at what you do - and yes, I can see your point - to let others mess with your work really can screw up the artistic process and the flow of things.

I've often wondered about the tracking orders, as you suggest - some CD's are so poorly assembled that way; yes, so my intuition about that was correct.. Keep them the way they flow together..;)

Yes, it's good to get that understanding down of where the other instruments "fit" and what it's like to play them - I can definitely see the logic in that. Things 'gel' better when everyone has a sense of the other musicians places..

Pardon my late response here - time sometimes requires me to jump and get a few things done every now and then.. Keep strumming away on the guitar, bass, and tambourine!

Happy Trails Josh!:cool:
