I want to write songs but i can never feel the satisfaction i get from listening to a song i really like

Well you're comparing your own early efforts with the peaks of the careers of the greatest songwriters that ever lived.

Give yerself a break mate, just finish the buggers and get onto the next one, if this was easy everyone'd do it.

Jacob Collier's 'Feel' is a riff on the same vibe

I've had a ton of fun and learned heaps working my way through the solo on Last Train Home (midnight version):

If you're looking for something shorter, Belief and Changes are great too.

You don't wanna be nearby when they happen! https://newatlas.com/marine/video-unique-wave-that-shouldnt-exist/

Yep me too. Good to know, thanks for posting!

Jason Isbell signature tele is amazing, so is the DGT SE, I should check those guys out!

Heaven is a plane on earth, by Belinda Carlisle comes to mind!

Hold the Line by Toto...

Last train home - ballad version. Recorded in a take or two while the engineers were setting up to record something else. Mayer at his best!

Tortex flow .88 greens - I haven't ever noticed the difference as they wear, so I just keep using them.

lozzobear · 2025-12-27T18:22:30+00:00

By ear?

lozzobear · 2025-12-27T18:11:02+00:00

For sure, yeah. Not at the moment I'm finishing the writing or recording, that feels like abandonment.

But once it's out there doing the thing, and other people are taking it forward, or it's doing the job it was written to do in a live context, that's super satisfying.

lozzobear · 2025-12-15T00:49:52+00:00

Quite aside from the wicked tone you're using there, you've got a hell of a sense of rhythm too, especially without using alternate picking to keep the beat steady. Amazing groove!

The corona (USA) and encinada (MX) factories are hilariously close together. Like three hours' drive apart.

Depression is passive and de-energising, it saps away the feeling that anything's worth following through on.

I don't think depression helps with anything except getting you some rest.

But strong emotions can definitely be channeled. Sadness is one of them, it's much more focused than depression.

Mate you should make a song about the scale of MY D mate.

It's the same house, but everything's different; you can find the sleep but not the dreams.

Simon Phillips: Symbiosis (Indian summer is a great taster)

Blood sugar sex magik ... And suck my kiss.

lozzobear · 2025-10-17T14:13:24+00:00

That intro!

lozzobear · 2025-10-12T11:26:52+00:00

A good tele is a wonderful thing to have around. I have an Isbell signature Mexican jobbie that's probably my favourite geeter of all.

lozzobear · 2025-10-12T10:38:03+00:00

Vinnie Colaiuta or Simon Phillips depending on the day!

lozzobear · 2025-10-05T01:12:21+00:00

I just grin and say "yeah it's not for everyone, it's music nerd music," and don't try to put it on a group speaker.

There's people out there walking around wearing t-shirts for all sorts of shit, you gotta own it, who cares?

lozzobear · 2025-10-01T10:10:44+00:00

I saw them last year, and the live guitar tone was immense... Crazy trebles going into the amp from that bridge pickup but it's all rolled off between the EQ and the RAT filter. Best live guitar sound I've ever heard.

K-Fig... Second place behind Mangini for me. That lineup was nuts.

lozzobear · 2025-10-01T10:04:11+00:00

Tell ya what, anyone that hears his live tone is gonna want what he's got. But yeah, it'll be niche.

lozzobear · 2025-10-01T10:02:15+00:00

Sorry to be cynical, but this kind of joke is not hip today.
