seriously though what's with the guitar on Nica Libres why do the notes not ring out. it's a simple progression and he's a great guitarist so it's obviously intentional. why would you do that

@John. No but I will now, although he looks a right bell.



@Colt that strumming is perfection. The ‘ringing out’ comes with Ben singing ‘while the faithful dispose of a generation’



Amazing song

someone on ben’s team needs to sit him down and have a serious talk about the amount of major chords he’s been using

I don't think there's any strumming on that song at all what are you talking about. I'm talking about the main fingerpicked progression that it starts with. the last note on each chord often doesn't ring out. like when you put a capo on that doesn't fit the neck

still doesn’t make sense because the vocals are especially subdued on that song and definitely don’t ring out but I was asking about the guitar specifically. also has Ben ever strummed a guitar in his life

It’s the subtlety that soars and rings out.



Black Flies has some strumming in it innit

he's a really interesting and cool guitarist in general, he has this sort of bouncy touch and go style that can only partially be attributed to his abuse of delay pedals
