artists who can play harmonics and chords are the absolute worst, if you can't choose between one and the other you can't choose between anything

Colton be like: "I don't understand how someone could not like Young Thug. He's a vocalist. He go wEEwwooo skrrt skrrt mmm. Doing vocals the whole time. Can you believe that? It's just good"



lmao but seriously. I just love the sound of harmonics. Damn, what's so stupid about that? It's not like anyone is impressed by basic chords and harmonics by terms of playing ability. Yeah, anyone can do it. But I can and will be impressed when someone links them together in a way that makes a good, compelling song. Idk why you're talking about this record like a Dream Theater/Rush fan rn. You don't be listenin' to the most complex music on the planet. Music can be simple af and perfect that way lol

that's why I'm confused that your specifying things like harmonics and the chord progressions, it's not about those individual components, it's about what they create alongside Julien's contributions

I can't say "Oh I like the inclusion of harmonics here. The texture is nice and the actual melody is pretty compelling here. Adds a nice pop"? I'm literally talking about the song, chief. I'm saying it all lends to a nice atmosphere and I have fun listening to these aspects together. It's like saying you love someone's drumming and say "I loved that paradiddle groove he did right there." How else am I supposed to talk about music? Idk if you disagree, fine, but the insistence on cherry picking the vernacular seems petty.



Instead of saying why its boring, you're just going "talking about these individual parts of a song you like doesn't make any sense. You're a pleb that's too easily impressed."

i don't really gaf about this argument because guitar is a shit instrument for dummies but with pinch harms you touch the string with your pick hand immediately after plucking it, not before, and with normal harmonics you put your fret hand finger on the strings lightly before and then strum, so you can all get fucked

All instruments are beautiful and valid! And I play guitar; I know how harmonics work. lol I'm just not quite as interested in semantics as some others seem to be.

you can say whatever you want but to say that you don't understand how people don't like it and then single out the use of harmonics and the chord progression, both of which you admit are nothing extraordinary on their own, doesn't make a very compelling argument. You were the one saying we just "can't appreciate it" so the whole "you're calling me a pleb" argument seems silly. I just think the particular things you described in order to argue your point were funny

you are dirty but also you can force through a pinch harm if you make contact with your finger(thumb) before the pick, it'll just sound muddy and therefore probably more appropriate for colton's argument tbh

the "you just don't understand how to appreciate this" comment was a bit facepalm
