I know you don’t look in a mirror while you’re playing (or maybe you do 
) but by your own honest estimation, how much head shaking, eyes squeezed tight, grabbing the guitar and really shaking it, maybe pointing the neck a little toward the ceiling, reacting toward your absolutely heavenly tone/filthy playing do YOU DO ? 🫵
Along with the “tasty blues” tropes that they all play , I think there’s also a certain set of facial expressions and upper body movements that online gear demo dudes do while they are playing/when they’re making a clip.
The guy that’s on That Pedal Show that sits on the right with the red telecaster is a prime example. He’s constantly just bowled over by the sounds/notes coming out of his guitar. Sometimes I think he’s gonna pass out.
And I think he’s a totally delightful guy and a great player, but I just compare him in my head to somebody like Andy, or Michael Lemo from Norms, who are both monster players and rarely react to the music they are creating.
And then I see the over-emoting filter down to the guys in their living rooms, trying to get something started online, and I think , either everybody really digs the crap out of their own playing or they’re just reacting to a trope that they’ve seen countless times and attempting it/perpetuating it themselves.
Do YOU dig YOU ? And how much ?
