@CharlieGrizz @Bluebearryz_ what's it like having zero media literacy?

@jrmamana What I am trying to say is that people are not asking a pointless question when they ask "electric or acoustic." yes, a lot of the skills carry between the two, but because they can be played differently and in different contexts, there is a genuine reason to distinguish the two.

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana it's kinda like the difference between a violin and fiddle. on paper, they're the same instrument, but stylistically in how they are played, they require different skills and are used in different contexts. same with classical guitar vs steel acoustic, or even 9-string vs 6.

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana there are players and styles that are known for diverging from the norm, but there are reasons that most well-known people playing electrics use picks, and most iconic acoustic parts are more than just copying whatever the electric rhythm guitar is doing

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana versus someone who has focused more on songs played on acoustics, where travis picking is more common. yes they can learn, and many players do both. but they require different skillsets to excel at

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana They can! but if they've focused their efforts on perfecting skills that are typically used on electric (such as using a pick, power chords, multi-step bends, understanding amps and effects) they won't be at all prepared for the complicated finger picking pattern of that song...

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana you asked why people think there is a difference. I wanted to discuss why, but evidently you aren't actually interested in all that or open to learning. gl in your creative journey 🙏

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana Most players who play mostly electric can't play "Never Going Back Again," but most players that focus on acoustic couldn't play "Waves." Obviously with enough practice they could, but each player would have to pick up a different way of playing unique to that type of guitar

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana I'm saying even though electric and acoustic have the same notes, each lends itself to a distinct style of playing using different techniques. You can't drop an electric player (even if they're proficient) onto an acoustic an expect them to play it convincingly without practice

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana wait, you're so right. please send me the first album from your walking-electric-guitar, chordal bass, acoustic sweep-pick shred solo project. I'm really excited to hear how it turns out!

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana yes, all the notes are in the same places, but you can't really play an electric in the same way that you'd play an acoustic, or vice versa. much like how you can't really use a bass the same way as a guitar.

[nill @KNill20]

@jrmamana i've played for 15 years and realized that there is a pretty big difference stylistically. metal riffs and solos written for electric guitars with distortion sound quite dissapointing on acoustic. The intro to "Crazy on You" would sound very thin and less dynamic on an electric.

[nill @KNill20]

@VIOLENTARSONIST spirit orange, light blue, or celadon are all pretty chill

[nill @KNill20]

@xX__juniper__Xx bet, doing so for ween would keep you occupied for quite a while lol. I very much enjoyed discovering all the unofficial stuff and the members' side projects to hear how they all influenced everything

[nill @KNill20]

@SkunkWix same, but also irl. like, i love hanging out with people, but i just don't have it in me to jump into a conversation the way other people seem to be able to. alas

@NoahPasternak see, but it's not here, and even if it was here it wouldn't matter because nothing matters. that's what's getting me
