| Topic | percussive guitar playing is trash |

And guitarists like Tosin Abasi are legendary. Same with John Butler. Alright, I'll take this opportunity to say I'm not saying never. It's true, you can incorporate percussion into a performance and it works and serves a useful purpose. You're not always going to have a drummer around, so having a stomp box or just using the guitar in a percussive way makes sense sometimes. Definitely not knocking that. I think many of these contemporary guys just take it too far though. If the entire performance is rigged up to try and make the guitar an all-in-one band and the actual music seems to take a backseat I get bored of it. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...
