The EMB Interview

Mhmmm...

How appropiate lol today is acctually my birthday... and i get an interview... Let me warn you. if you ask rather... volitile questions, ill have to... dispose of you... somehow. 0.o

im acctually looking forward to this... shoot.

Whens yer birthday?

Which is your favourite guitar?

Aha, what a great present from us all :-P Anyway I guess an obvious question to start is what first made you wanna play guitar EMB?

Today is, may 1.

My favorite guitar ever is the 1959 burst... A new one would be a hollowbody of some sort, i love the thick tone. However strats and les pauls have their place.

I started playing at 14 or so... I went to a party and they were raffling off guitars and i won one. I let it sit by itself for a few months, then started picking it up. After a while i wanted to play it. And this and that happened and i learned. I wasnt like inspired by music or anything it was more i wanted to play and that inspired everything else, changed my musical taste and such.

Happy birthday dude!
#1: what does your pedalboard consist of?
#2:Do you like the classic lp/marshall tone?
#3:prefered recording method?analog or digital?

-gs2112

Do you use any training schedule, or ever used? Do you believe in improvisation with (theoretical)knowledge or improvisation with feel? if both, then whichone is more leading role?

James Brown or George Clinton?

how you feel of Joss Stone?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Why did Heather cross the road? :D

If you were to have any super power - what would it be?

If you had one year to live, what would you do?

Who are/is you all time greatest inspiration?

Happy birthday dude, enjoy it!! :o)

Who is your biggest musical influence?
If you could learn another instrument, what would it be and why?
What is the longest distance you have traversed on your bicycle?

My pedal board is a:

Real mccoy wah->barber tone pump->lovepedal eternity->skreddy pigmine-> maxon eq->ce chorus->dm-2 delay->volume pedal.

I love the classic marshall tone but if im not playing classic rock it tends to be too gritty for me.

Nope no training schedule i play when i play, which is a lot. I notice one thing about improv, when people dont know theory, and theyre GOOD, they play well, and when people know theory and are not as good, they play well, but if you have the feel without the knowlegde, gain the knowledge, and understand that you dont need to follow it, and to follow feel and theyre great.

James brown.

Never heard of him/her will look up

There was feed on the other side :)

Superpower... Ability to control time, go back, forward, stop pause, everything.

Id wingsuit base jump, travel around the world, go to loads of concerts, and enjoy the world while i can.

I dont think i have one all time influence/inspiration... If i did...Hmm Pink FLoyd.

Sax. I play it but id love to really learn it.I love the way sax players solo and the feel they grasp.

In one time? Ive biked 100 miles. My overall distance on my bike is 2235. Thats from 1 year of cycling.

Who inspired you to start playing music?

If you could take a 1 week vacation anywhere, where would you go?


And this is a question I got... 5 city tour anywhere in the world. Where would you perform?

When you pick up the guitar, what part of the fretboard do you gravitate towards? The nut end, the 5th or 7th fret area or the 12th and above?

What key do you tend to start in when fooling around?

1 week in 1 place... Id go back to the san juan islands. Out of civilization, but not too far out. And its beautiful there...

5 city tour...

L.A.
Pompeii
New York (even though i live there, MSG is insane)
London/England
New Orleans.

Hmm idk... Probably low like open chords...

I always fool around in 'E'

That's an interesting start to guitar :-) Wish I got guitars in raffles :(

Question 2: Are you and Jazzy suggesting I'm fat?! :'( I like my poultry feed. It fills the empty hole in my life :-)

Hahahaha your feathers seem extra fluffy recently so idk...

Interesting that you say the San Juan Islands. I have a friend who has a dream to live there and from the pictures I can't imagine too many other places that I want to visit. This is my favorite song by Minus the Bear, which is about those islands.

Elliott,
Just out of curiosity, do you tune your git by ear or with "tools"?
Phip

P.S.
You're such a likeable guy.........what's the meanest thing you've ever done?

Both, when i dont have my clip on tuner i just go by ear. Its usually pretty close, but when i have it i use it...

Hmm... Im not gonna lie im not a violent person, and ive tried to be mean once to someone, and it failed outright. I punched someone once who was really buggin me out. That was at least 6 years ago though.

Recently i totally cold shouldered someone. All i knew is i was absent one day, came back the next, and were all chillin in a practice room about 10 of us, were all close friends, and this new girl that i heard about walks in, and immediatly everyone starts bugging out, went from talking to silent and one of my friends starts saying how you dont do this and that and i dont like you do be trying to come in with me. And immediatly im like wow... So the girl is like 5' tall. im 6'. I knew she was talking *** behind peoples backs. So i got up in her face, and im like i dont care what you did, i dont care who did it, i dont care if you dont know what im talking about. You will not piss off any of these people ever. Got me? She says i didnt do anything, im like I DONT CARE. LISTEN. you and me got some real problems if i hear your talking stuff behind everyones back again.

Thats what i can remember. Ive never got in anyones face like that before.

Oh and one teach accused me of being a rapist. I got pissed. But wasnt mean. I just threw on the most pissed off look on my face, like a look that said "You disgust me, leave" and i walked away. She wont even look at me anymore.

"She wont even look at me anymore."

when i got to this i was grinning like hell, man... if that kind of accuse been thrown with serious meaning, who can keep reactions away. Not me, lol.

Elliot,do ye prefer coke or.pepsi?
ranch or thousand island?
most importantly

who do you least prefer/ bieber or black?

Im not like in your face mean, but if you piss me off truely or one of my friends you get the disgust look and cold sholder. But it takes a lot for that, i generally like everyone...

I dont drink sodas lol...

Ranch

I guess beiber... Though rebbeca blacks song reached new lows justin beiber is more poular and he has more songs...

i drink diet.and i guess boober preferable.

on a scale of 1-10 how big of a 440hz nazi are you?

440hz nazi? huh? To be honest i cant stand 440, it bothers me. It sounds so weird to me. I like 432. i think thats it, eithe r that or 436... It just sounds more natural to me

lol ok,and 440hz nazi was in relatiin to seinfelds "souo nazi,if you knw waht that is.

Ooh i see haha NO 440hz for you! 432hz 1 Dollar! But he got free 432hz. You want 432hz? Yes please... 3 Dollar! What? No 440hz FOR YOU!!!

Do people really tune to something other than 440hz? I guess they must since there are other settings on tuners.

HAA! classic,Nd yeah tsb i think they do.

Have you ever smashed a guitar?

Yes i have :) it was a circus guitar that didnt work... It waasnt smashing more like... Dragging from the back of the car... It looks relicd

nice......in a stereo typical sense how would you describe yourself(ie,metalhead,hipster,scene,etc)

Hmm, well i guess about 5 months ago hippie... Recently ive been outta that character completely. Ive asked people that and no one really categorizes me. I guess hippie in the sense i love everything and like that music. But ive been into funk and soul lately to be honest. Besides that im really not. Ive been told by some people i sound black and i act a little black. I disagree but ill take it haha... Im just a guy i guess, im straight out, if somethings on my mind ill say it no questions...

$øüñd§ solid dude.

Slayer fan ru ?

Happy belated birthday EMB!

You live in NY right? Yankees or Mets? Giants or Jets? Or, who cares?

OK Mister, turn in your van and roach clip!
Funk and Soul though.........that's a good trade ;)
When was the last time you played for an audience? Do you enjoy being onstage or is it a necessary evil?
Phip

haha!nice one phip

Nope no slayer. Not into metal.

Yankees, Giants, but dont really care...

Played for an audience? Hmm, today haha, and i love it. I enjoy it, i thrive off of it. I get one of those feelings sometimes where im playing i look up and i smile big like a smile that says oh yeah i know whats going on and i love it haha
