I was surfing Youtube the other day and came across this Gillian Welch video.
This song, Caleb Meyer, is one of my favorites. I love the rhythm, Gillian Welche’s and David Rawling’s vocals, and how David’s second guitar complements the rhythm guitar part. I think its a great example of how simple guitar playing that carries alot of emotion and feeling can be just as or more effective as something fancy, loud, and turned up to ten. Granted, the second guitar part that David plays is fairly complex at times, but i think that part is just icing on the cake of what is a pretty easy guitar song. It uses a handful of chords and a simple bass note-brush rhythm.
I think that is indicative of alot of great guitar songs of the past and present. A piece of music does not have to be fancy or contain alot of pyrotechnics to grab a listener. It just has to be honest, played from the heart, and delivered with feeling.
