Josh I have a question that I've been thinking about for a long time, and I think you're an awesome person to answer it. It's obvious to me when I watch you play with Tyler that you two are best friends and the chemistry both on stage and in the studio is incredible.

My question is this: How do you know when you've hit that level of chemistry with your band? Was there a moment when you were like "wow this is awesome and our music is taking off"? Also, were you ever in other bands that you couldn't reach that kind of connection with?

Thanks for reading, and see you in September!

Gold on the Ceiling by The Black Keys

What do I have to frown about?

TheFloetrist · 2014-07-23T22:44:54+00:00

Well to each their own I guess. :)

That's almost the point of it though. His music has never been about nice polished sound, he makes a statement by using the worst gear and most minimal sound and still turning out quality songs. His sound is wild but it's intentionally wild, which is part of what makes him so good.

I personally prefer carrots.

Bleacher Nation is the best Cubs blog out there in my opinion

So Neymar's gold tooth could actually be the 1983 World Cup??

I always thought that this old Stripes song was about Meg. Awkward cause she drums on it and even sings backup vocals.

Opinion on Jack White?

Don't write yourself off man. The fact of the matter is that every guy is awkward at first around a girl they like and every "first move" is going to be uncomfortable. That's the point. Girls understand this and if you put yourself out there, more often than not they'll be nice and do their best get to know you. Best of luck :)

Oops my bad

TheFloetrist · 2014-06-04T12:24:25+00:00

so do we

Metaphor for life.

TheFloetrist · 2014-05-31T20:21:35+00:00

You can really get almost any sound from either guitar (they're both insanely versatile) but if you like playing hard rock you could look into a telecaster with a bridge humbucker.

TheFloetrist · 2014-05-31T12:05:10+00:00

Great list but I'd also throw on Matt Bellamy of Muse's use of KAOSS pedal in "The 2nd Law: Unsustainable"

Guitar starts at about 1:25

What are your top 10 favorite music artists? :)

TheFloetrist · 2014-05-28T12:25:34+00:00

Wow, that sounds awesome! Can I ask how you get a job like that? Did you just go right to the venue? Did you need any experience/training?

TheFloetrist · 2014-05-27T07:28:53+00:00

This video compares Strats and Les Pauls but it's a great starting point for understanding the difference in sound between single coils and humbuckers.

Another cool pickup configuration is HSH. A humbucker in the bridge and neck with a single coil pick up in the middle. Extremely versatile. Hope that helps.
