    This is really cool. Applying to any art or even beyond, trying to find your own voice, your own way to express yourself through that, not trying to be perfect in a sense your idols are or the people who are doing the same thing and are (considered) the best at this craft.
    I never thought of it this way, but it's not just that the beauty but also the perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

  • @JosephDillman
    @JosephDillman Рік тому +28

    I love Conan saying "no matter what effect you play" because my first analysis of Jack was here's a guy who tries to use all his pedals in a song. It used to put me off but I appreciate it as a style in its own right and I respect his reverence for the craft as seen in things like "This Could Get Loud" and his other partnerships.

    • @BranceCrantly
      @BranceCrantly Рік тому +2

      I think he only used three pedals during the early days of The White Stripes. A Big Muff Pi, A Digitech Whammy, and an MXR Micro Amp. He added stuff as the band went on, but I'm pretty sure those were what he started with. Maybe a Chromatic Tuner, because his Airline guitar would constantly go out of tune.

    • @cstrongman
      @cstrongman Рік тому

      He's just going for it, you know. You can only really applaud someone that's just doing their best. It just so happens his best involves a lot of pedals, but that's him, his style. Still badass.

    I like that Conan has officially interviewed somebody whiter than himself. The odds were stacked against him but he finally pulled it off with a living a person. His previous attempts were all bodies that were frozen in ice from an archeological dig in the arctic of a ship full of turn of the century British explorers. All of them also had blue hair but that was unrelated.

    What's interesting about all these famous musicians is they all claim that they taught themselves how to play guitar and can't read music! Sometimes I wonder if they are F'ing with us!
    Jack stated that here, Grohl, and others.
    I played the Alto Sax from elementary throughout HS. So I learned how to read music and can play every note on this instrument. Regrettably, I dropped it and lost interest. Fast forward to a month ago - I decided to buy a guitar and attempt to teach myself. Damn, it's hard! It's harder than the Sax because you have strings instead of keys.
    It would be interesting to get their specific take on how they learned.
