about

Simple patterns aren't always so simple.
When first learning guitar, I noticed that some bands, such as Ramones, Minor Threat, early Black Flag, and The Misfits all basically just created songs out of simple combinations of bar chords which the drummer, bass player, and singer then interpreted.
The secret, of course, being to create just the right combination.
You may think I am oversimplifying, but I AM NOT.
When I was a kid, I would play along with every record I got and learned that when you understand the thought process behind the patterns, you start to understand the song as a living organism that enters your mind through your body and stays
there as long as it deserves.
When you add the lower registers of bass and your whole body attaches itself to the osmotic pressure through voice it creates a sonic vibration that can level buildings.
When I first played along to Astro Zombies,
I thought "this could be the perfect chord progression".
Much like Shaping The River, this is one I pull out at the drop of a hat,
but for the last 25 years or so.
Again, I've still been getting the words wrong this whole time.
