fantastic way of explaining and elaborating on the process of writing and how you go about taking the emotion/story of any particular song and turning that into an enjoyable/'mathy' sound. much appreciated. wanted this video for so long and finding this almost 2 years later is so dope. thanks damien ^-^
First off, I am totally going to use this, it's always nice to have insight into an artist's mind. Second, SO HYPED FOR TSOSIS REUNION! Just as you guys were starting to get really fucking good, you stopped making music. I hope we get more funky goodness like off of first contact.
Love you Damien! Love the speed of sound in seawater! You are my inspiration for playing guitar! I just wish one day you can do a little breakdown or play my favorite song from you guys, "Vixen of the deep"
So awesome! Also you didn’t point this out but for people who might not know theory: the D is the dominant/5 chord in the key of G so G to D is a 1 to 5 progression
Dawg, above the technical guitar playing Breakdown, the sheer impact of the concepts and how you arrive at the creative choices is MASTER level! I wish I finished that music project with Jordan 😣. And I’m sad I missed TSOSISS show recently. Me and my ex wife use to come to all of them at that pizza place on J st. I’ll catch the next one for sure!
Was not expecting him to pull out joanna newsom, love her! I regret asking for tabs before watching this video but I'm too shit and I use techniques gained from learning a song from them to express my own stuff but oh well.
Joanna is my idol! No worries at all!! It just takes too long. I don't know if I'll NEVER do it, but I don't have any immediate plans to create a tab book. Folks have done an excellent job of tabbing out a few TSOSIS and SML songs
@@DamienVerrett I completely understand, again, sorry for bothering you earlier. And yes Jnew is a goddess my favorite possession is my sealed Ys deluxe vinyl lol.
lovely bro, i must say i only idolize 2 musicians, one is my best friend and the other is you! looking forward to sending something different over for you to play with!!
I can’t believe that I’ve truly lived to see the day where I can have so much access to some of my most favorite musicians in the way that Damien has made available. Thanks a heap load! Also, when are you coming back to Utah?
This is some really valuable stuff. I'd also love to see you share some knowledge of equipment and sounds used in your so much light project in the future.
@so much light: yo Damien, I just wanna say you guys in TSOSIS have been one of my favorite bands for years and I’ve been super bummed to know you broke up. I’m sad I can’t make the show this Friday because of work but I hope you guys keep touring and I’m gonna see y’all perform live someday. I did want to ask what your background is as far as music theory is concerned. Self taught or formal schooling? You seem to have a large lexicon of what seem like scholastic terms but you might also just have done a lot of intense studying? Regardless, it makes me happy beyond words you guys are playing together again!
This was a good idea
Also fuck tabs
damien's slow is my too fast :(
This is like the 5th time I've watched this video.
Same here these riffs are so good!
A beautiful mind and soul

you're welcome! So glad you found it useful : ]
One of the most underrated guitarists in the scene
I can’t believe I’ve been listening to your music for like 10 years. Much respect for you and your approach to music. Thank you for all your content.
Amazing video, it was really cool to just sit in front of my computer and listen to you

thank you so much for this. your explanations are so clear and help a lot.
So awesome!

It's actually a 4 to 1 progression. The D is the I and the G is the IV in the context of Huge Wheel because of the presence of that C# note.
@@ProsodyMusic Came here to be a pedant, but it seems you've beaten me to it.
@@strungalong9081 BROTHER!
Coming down from Portland to see you guys
Please bring back The Speed Of Sound in Seawater!
Holy hybrid picking this is great

@@DamienVerrett fml YEAH!
