I think you will find it is in fact Sir Paul McCartney!

Very well harmonised by the way. I like it! And well doubled in the lead as well. That's essentially Beach Boy territory covered. What next, Kid? World domination?

Cheers -

Nutter

P.S.: Thanks! Trolling like a Sir!

Fun fact: There has been music made after the mid-70s and it does, amazingly, go beyond the relatively narrow genre of blues/classic rock. Shocking, I know.

I'm all ears!

Some kind of variety. I only ever see you post about the same 5 or so artists, everything you play is just more of the same, and you make sweeping statements dismissing entire genres when I am almost 100% certain you never even scratched the surface of said genres. Usually I just walk away and don't post when I see someone like this, but with the millionth topic of the same thing I couldn't hold it in any longer. Explore music beyond your comfort zone for christ's sake.

Come on, Floyd, we could sometimes post the exact same statement about you! When's the last time you explored some 50's or 60's music, or created a sonic landscape as richly tapestr'ed as SKid does? Everyone has their specialty & field of expertise. I find that totally legal.
By the way, what are you into at the moment?

Cheers

I listen to SK's recordings and I think of the potential for years of original music that he may make based on a solid foundation of how hit records are and were made. His interpretation of all this could someday surprise you Floyd. Why knock it?

Thank you for saying this. Now PLEASE! When you listen to something I do give advice other than "tune better" or "less gain" or "more bass" Trust me, I love advice, but not the same advice over and over. And you're good, we're all good in our own way and good at what we do. But when I think of guitar playing, I think of a heavy line of rhythm and buzzsaw, it's what I've heard since I was a baby.

A couple weeks ago, if I recall correctly. And I'm currently on a bit of a doom/drone metal kick, though I've also been looking into more Baroque pop.

See, I'm not trying to say the kid doesn't have potential, but he DOES have a serious lack of variety. His interpretations so far have simply been the same rehashes that we've been hearing over and over for the past 30 or so years from countless classic rock/classic rock praising bands. It's not that he shouldn't play and listen to what he wants, it's that he's not adding anything to the styles that influence him. He has a lot of talent, but needs to expand his horizons.

PS please note that the quote may be really messed up, the "3 quotes in one post" thing always messes me up.

Give them a shot. I'm sure he's not saying, 'you have to like them', but atleast listen to some decent artists from that genre. Even if you dont like them, it'll give you a hell of a better understanding and appreciation towards music. I'm starting to get into electro-house music, and the other day I got a bunch of Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and The Beatles. Something I shoulda done along time ago, but I'll be honest, I've never listened to those guys. You can never have enough music so just branch out into unknown territories. I garuntee you, you'll like atleast one style or artist if you do

Anyway, I listened to the link, and it actually is pretty good. You have a good vocal range.

Wading back over to the contentious waters...

I think a lot of the players who listen to and play non-mainstream/alternative music are often turned off by talented players (such as SuperKid) who are playing mainstream music.
I assume (dangerous, I know) that they are irritated because they see a person who could play just about anything but chooses to play something the alternative player sees as a "re-tread".

On the other hand, the mainstream player is playing something they are passionate about--be it the Beatles, Stones, SRV or whatever--and aren't worried that someone else might see them as a re-tread.

I mostly play blues. Yes, there's some classic rock/blues-rock tendencies and some Outlaw Country tendencies thrown in there for good measure, but primarily I'm a blues player. If someone sees me as re-treading because I'm playing blues like my heroes, then I'll generally take it as a compliment. I'll think, "Ok, so I remind you of something you heard on a record from 1959? Cool! I must be doing it right!"
I once played one of my original songs and a woman saying, "I must have heard that before, I just don't know where..." Well, since it was a rockabilly-style song I had written, I took that as a great compliment (I assume she was being complimentary).

After being told my band sounded like The Fabulous Thunderbirds and ZZ Top touring with Waylon Jennings, I thought, "Good! Somebody recognizes what I listen to, and I can finally reproduce the sounds in my head."

So (Floyd) you may hear SuperKid's recordings and think, "It's been done before, show me something new..." but he is probably thrilled that someone thinks he sounds like the Beatles (or whoever).

Likewise, I laugh when alt players talk about how "original" each of their favorite bands are, when many of them are re-treads of earlier alternative, punk or underground bands...nothing against any of them (and I like some of them), but more often than not, most punk bands are re-treading MC5, the Ramones or the Sex Pistols, most hard-core underground bands are re-treading GG Allin or Iggy Pop.

...and nobody's really doing anything as revolutionary as what Muddy Waters did with his electric microtones or what Little Walter did with a mic and overdriven amp--way back in the 1950's.
