Tabs and video tutorials

and ask any guitar friends to teach you basic chords. I learnt guitar by having my dad teach me some basic chords, then I learnt the entire The Kooks first record through tabs, and then Laura Marling’s Alas I Cannot Swim. And from that I basically learnt all the chords you need, and to finger pick and strum in different patterns. If something was a little more complicated id look up YouTube videos of people playing stuff to see what their hands were doing. I learnt how to play covers on piano purely from YouTube tutorials. And I’m literally a musician! its maybe not like the way to learn “properly” but it is the way that worked for me! I’ve linked Ultimate Guitar tabs website here which is where I still get my tabs for covers from 🤘🏼

Fucking Around on a New Electronic instrument

The joy! of discovery! Often you can get something sounding good pretty easily, and then you can make it sound bad, and then you can figure out how to make that sound good, and then you're cooking with gas. I had a lot of fun making the linked video.

When your new book is finally available for preorder ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

Unwound

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
