 Re: The best example of indie rock guitar playing I've heard
I'm liking this "We've Got Everything" by Modest Mouse. I've never really been into them much apart from Dramamine but this isn't too bad at all

They're alternative, dammit.  I haven't heard the Modest Mouse stuff with Johnny Marr; I forgot it existed, actually. Is it worth my time? I like the Modest Mouse stuff from the early part of the '00s and I heart The Smiths.

Snaxo, I think I prefer the Johnny Marr stuff a bit having just downloaded their first album and then the one with him on it. It's a bit livelier and happier sounding. Lovely guitar toanzz as well

 Re: The best example of indie rock guitar playing I've heard
Modest Mouse stepped up the dance beats and catchy hooks with Johnny Marr. The man is a rhythm guitar machine, and definitely brings a bit of Smiths flavor to the Modest Mouse formula.
I really really like the new MM stuff with him. It isn't like their old stuff, they have really evolved a lot, but it's very good.
We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank surprised me a lot. After Good News for People Who Love Bad News, I didn't have super high expectations (though I do like that album, it wasn't anything mind-blowing) for the album, but it delivers.

 Re: The best example of indie rock guitar playing I've heard
I have decided I want to cover this song, because for some reason I have never learned it (I only know a couple SY songs) and it is awesome. I just got to figure out how to do the drums ....

 Re: The best example of indie rock guitar playing I've heard
Yeah, that is one of the bast of the bast. Sonic Yoof is one of those many of my most favourite bands, that i don't know how to play a single thing by. Actually, that is true of most bands. I never learn other people's shit, almost especially when i think it is superawesome. It is almost like magicians to me. I don't want to know the tricks. I like to be able to pretend that my favourite sounds are just black magic/alchemy. Incantations. Secret shit.

 Re: The best example of indie rock guitar playing I've heard
Same here. For some reason most of the songs I have learned to play are not even by bands I am all that into.
Mainly, the problem with learning 'Yoof songs is that everything is in a different goddamn tuning. That shit gets old fast, unless you roll like they do with like 20 different guitars.

 Re: The best example of indie rock guitar playing I've heard
http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/tab/tuning.htmlIt is kind of funny to see them start in standard with the early EPs, then just progressively more experimental with tunings as time went on. Thurston's droning open D tuning on The Eternal is nifty though, I even wrote a song or two in it.
