The below post got me thinking;
https://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=33556.msg465580#msg465580
I sound nothing like my influences daily. My phrasing and tone is nothing like them when I play live. Maybe that’s the impact of playing within a vernacular.
A decade ago, someone approached me and said I sounded like the Edge. While undoubtedly a compliment , I wasn’t even giving U2 attention until 2 years previous.
The vernacular I play within live lends itself more so to that tone and phrasing.
So the question is;
How much do you allow your influences to flow through
How much do you allow your vernacular to flow through
I play live pretty much weekly. And yes I spend more time on the U2 channel as that’s closer to what I’m asked to play.
If I had my way, I’d be more David Gilmour, Duane Allman, Gary Moore, Carlos Santana,,, or if I got the chops, Vitto Bratta.
What do I practice, ? Edge
