Finally figured it out. It's like when you first learned about whacking off.
I see what you are saying about Trucks. Dude is playing his part and when he rests, he does "air rhythm guitar".Papa Willie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2017 3:01 am I know some of y'all have probably seen me bitch about it before, but I just can't handle listening to Derek Trucks. Though his sound on this particular cut isn't too bad, most of the times it's a seriously shrill sound. Still - his constant "fretting out" drives me nuts. It's like "why play the fucking slide if you're going to hear the frets"? That's the first thing you learn NOT to do. However, the main thing that drives my ass up a tree is how he's always strumming his guitar between notes. Notice what he does with his thumb. Now after you notice that, notice how much he does. ALWAYS. I noticed it pretty early on, and I swear to god it's like somebody dragging their fingernails over a chalkboard when I hear it now. Just too much.
He's obviously got the tools, but he just needs to calm the fuck down on it. Listen to him, then compare it to Duane. Of course, Duane was writing a book every time he stuck a slide on, but it was just how incredibly smooth Duane was. Add to that, Duane's sound was just immaculate...
