Honestly that’s kind of on you for not recognizing that there’s probably going to be a bit of overlap between Primus fans and Fans of the guy who literally plays a shovel. Lol
Wow... Big props to Jessica, can't even begin to imagine what it must take to keep the rhythm while chasing that saw and getting all sorts of weird contact feedback. Props to Rob as well of course, but I don't know the first thing about guitar playing, to appreciate it.
Rob, just wanted to say this ScaTaylor video series has just been a pure joy to watch and has made me laugh out loud several times which is something that has not happened in a while! Thank you!
That first song would fit right in on Les Claypool' Of Fungi and Foe. I accidentally started playing Amanitas in the background and literally didn't notice till you guys started talking.
Funny enough, I'm pretty sure they still didn't put a truss rod in it. Instead, it looks like they put a couple wood screws through the fretboard to hold it all together. Better than glue I guess?
Thought someone might appreciate that I listened to this on a blown out laptop speaker, which added its own unique trashed element to this primusesque shitshow
Haha, this was amazing and props to Jessica for being such a good sport. Though, I was really afraid of the circular saw blade the entire time, that thing's sharp and swinging all over the place.
If microtonal guitars have all the weird small frets, then this has to be the first guitar I’d describe as a “macrotonal” guitar
It has some microtone frets too though...
You know, that's actually a good point. I get why it's called a microtonal guitar but what you're saying actually makes sense.

*Something breaks again. Actually has to nail it.*

It does wow!
yes, my first thought, you found Primus creative muse.
12:15 onwards. Shes a legend. Immediately caught on to the vibe and dropped everything to start playing. So much fun!
I know she picked the vibe up real fast
So talented
And the fact that not one mistake was made or any plays that would mess up the vibe, she is amazing
