Indescribable brilliance. I've seen 100 piece orchestras playing huge pieces and never coming close to the monolithic sound Jakob creates with 3 dudes...thehenderson wrote:So for people who are into instrumental post rock, what does Jackob bring to the table that's their own?
MogwaiBoy's post is quite good, get's a lot down. There's definitely a lot of intricacy in Jeff's playing.
Tuning? It's a 'drouble dropped A#' I guess. Basically tune two full tones down from standard to C and then drop the high and low 'C' strings down a further tone to A#.
I often compare Jason Johnstone's playing to that of John Bonham. He's the Maori John Bonham...
Listen carefully to how tightly the three of them lock in, they all play very distinct parts that rely on each other entirely. This band is a perfect example of three distinct styles co-exist in perfect symbiosis.
