"if humiliation isn't something that absolutely destroys you - i think you've got a career being a guitar player"

@mattsdpell5029 9 лет назад

Blake Mills: you're fantastic. Matt Sweeney: I really believe that being interviewed with you is the highest honour for a guitarist and musicians in general: you're very comforably and fresh. You're always genuinely interested in what others play. We need more people like you. Thank you for being so inspiring

@rgorjon9 7 лет назад

I love how he connects with all of the artist. Pretty awesome.

@555BLUESBOY 7 лет назад

Thanks D'Addario !! The dynamics between these guys is so totally awesome. The phrase, "Right on". comes to mind. The guy asks such perfect questions and BM gives the most "epic" answers. This is one of the best interviews I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you!! So fresh guitar playing, Blake:)

For the paper in the strings - check out Lionel Loueke, doing that with a classical guitar. for both of them, it sounds like a kalimba, or other African instruments.

Blake is so modest. I've seen his performance at the crossroads like 20 times before watching this interview. And I have to say that the first time I saw it, it really touched me deep man. And there are a few great guitar fills that he makes during the song that are amazing. Go and watch that performance that he makes with Derek Trucks, because it's beautiful.

@AndyPandyh Год назад

Was he talking about Save the last dance?? That is really surprising, it is one of my favorite Blake Mills performances and his playing is really refreshing, as usual!

@stephenpatt952 7 лет назад

Go find the video on Blake playing "save the last dance" with derek trucks. That's at crossroads.. in the beginning he says "please welcome Derek Trucks, to redeem me".. because right before is the song he speaks of here! The epic fail. Save the last dance definitely redeemed!

Hi there, you mean Ry Cooder* and yes I know I'm a huge fan, obviously he did Buena Vista Social Club recorded in Cuba and a few other worldly albums but what Blake is playing is different.

@lmbfr01 8 лет назад

Has someone tried to figure out how he does that effect with his pinky and ring finger I think at 6:57? it sounds like a percussive thing with no notes (my best at trying to explain it) it's hard to get it right.. HEELP! :( :)

@adamhenaghan4417 6 лет назад

what's the passing chord at 10:21? all those gropros, and the only shot of that chord has the Les Paul headstock blocking it

@springsten 6 лет назад

If i remember correctly, his guitar is tuned to an open C# and the passing chord is just a barred 9th fret and a hammer on on the 10th or 11th fret on the 5th string.

@PlayLikeTheGreatscom 5 лет назад

The passing chord is a *Db(b6)* [x9x9,10,9] to *Db* [x9x999]. In this session, the guitar is in _open D_ tuning, with capo on the 2nd fret, which amounts to the key of _E major_ - the album version is in the key of _Db major_ instead. I have the entire song transcribed, available on my website, if you're interested :)

i have a feeling he just has a good feel for the fretboard when it comes to playing around with that kind of finger picking-bass thing. he plays something similar in another video and i dont think that one is a song either.

@kentuckychromedesign 9 лет назад

He did "Save The Last Dance For Me" by Ben E. King at Crossroads fest, and it's got a really similar vibe to that song structure. Can't quote me as gospel, but that sounds a lot like it to me.

Shane Parish, who plays guitar under the band name Ahleuchatistas, is a pioneer in extended guitar technique and sounds by throwing stuff under your bridge. "Vanished" by this band involves a Balinese scale combined with a cut-up credit card that goes over-under the strings at the bridge of the instrument.

@hiroprotagonitis Год назад

based, ahleuchatistas is peak discordant math rock but very much worth listening to for any musician looking to approach the instrument in an altered way

@bebenavole 9 лет назад

Eddie H he wanna be ry cooder

@h.j.w2783 9 лет назад

it's a Ry Cooder inspired 'Coodercaster'. The "huge box thing" is a lollar housing, underneath he's using a pickup from an old supro/valco guitar. The pickup in neck position is a guyatone gold foil pickup. He uses both pickups out of phase with one another to get his unique sound. They are both very vintage, bluesy sounding pickups, fantastic for slide and an interesting combination.
