    @sianspherica 6 ปีที่แล้ว +166

    you need a guitarist you who doesn't play like he's trying to delicately trying to pet a llama.
    Dude looks so uncomfortable and unsure of himself. Practice your parts and learn to play then and then press the strings down firmly and learn to hold your fingers properly on the fretboard. Look at Sophie, she is effortlessly pulling off his chord changes. You need to do that. This dude is like a "don't" video for how to play an electric guitar. Practice more, tune your guitar, find better tones or effects and play with more confidence.
    He's out of tune, missing notes and is is using effects and tones that aren't complimenting Sophie's guitar tone of the bassist's.
    On 'Your Dog' both Sophie's effects and the distortion on the bass works so well and this guy on lead is just ruining it.

    • @StephaneVorstellung
      @StephaneVorstellung 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I'd tell him to keep playing all weird and off-handed, but for christ's sake: form your own band and cultivate a sound based around chronic missteps. It could be cool but I agree it's not working here.

    • @michaelfuria4257

      I think the guitarist has a great feel for the band's music. OK so he is rough around the edges-he reminds me of the 60's garage bands who were not polished but nevertheless created great original sounding music. I think the bass player is excellent and his playing really anchors the band.

    • @michaelfuria4257

    Alright, let me just start out by saying I love Soccer Mommy. I think she writes some of the best songs I have heard in awhile. With that being said, this was not her (and the band's) best performance. I saw them live about a month ago and they sounded just like the record (which is perfect). Something about this performance is off and I'm pretty sure it's the tuning of the guitars.
    Before anyone starts hating, let me just say this performance doesn't reflect how good she is. Go watch some other live SM videos because I promise she is awesome live.

    The lead guitarist sounds like me when I dick around in my room playing random sounds and trying out random effects. e.g. 21:29 onwards. Aside from that they were pretty solid .

    I find it interesting that everyone's beating up on the lead guitarist while neglecting to mention that singer was out of tune on the 2nd song. As for the lead guy, he's not nearly bad enough to justify the overwhelming level of criticism in these comments -- if you don't believe me, just go into any Guitar Center. I'm thinking everyone's just jumping on the bandwagon being influenced more by other comments. What made him sound the worst was his tone -- it sounds thin and shrill; too many highs maybe. The tone on the singer's guitar was WAAAY better.

      Nah, he butchered every single song. Go to 05:51 and then TRY to make the argument that he didn't deserve the criticism. As for the singer's 2nd song, It sounds pretty close to the studio release version so I have no clue what you're on about.

    • @coollayo

      did you mean out of tune with her guitar? If so, I agree with you. Her singing was spot on though.

    • @51MontyPython
      @51MontyPython 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@coollayo Yeah, I meant the guitar, lol. Sorry, it didn't even occur to me to clarify at the time I typed that, but yeah. She went to tune up just before the song (different tuning, I believe), but didn't get it on the mark (you can hear it especially with the chords played at 4:37-4:38).
      I listened again to 5:10, and I didn't see what you're talking about. What did he do that was bad or wrong there from a musical perspective or as a player (I'm sure he would like to know as well)?

    • @coollayo

      51MontyPython the part I pointed out starts at 5:51 he plays a string that just clashes with the entire tune and then does it again a couple of seconds after

    I'm no guitar expert, but that guy sucks. It sounds like he's playing random notes as he goes along. He's so out of sync with the rest of the band and drags the whole performance down.

    I feel bad agreeing with everyone here; about 30 seconds in, I scrolled to the comments to see if anyone found the guitar work meek. A terrible thing to do, but sadly the quality of these songs far supersedes the musicianship. Rhythm section is great! Pleasantly surprised to really dig the vocals! As a guitar player, I use a LOT of effects... but I use them sparingly and when they sonically compliment the song. I'd recommend that the guitarist sell off those effects, use the cash to get Sophie a tuner, and learn how to phrase properly with confidence. Then, and only then, get a reverb pedal. I know I said I use a lot of effects, but honestly lush reverb and some considered counterpoint would do these songs some better justice. Sorry, I'm saying nothing new here and not trying to be mean, but I couldn't make it to the 7 minute mark. Please upgrade. Would love to here these songs bolstered with the musicianship they deserve.
