I have been taking a deep dive into Time and it's guitar solo, trying to break down and analyze each lick it is made up of to better understand solos in general. You can't really study Time without also studying Breathe as its reprise is the unofficial final verse of Time. I stumbled upon a reddot post comparing the prose of both of these songs and it got my story teller brain working and I figured this was the best place to share my thoughts. The introspective nature of this era of Pink Floyd's lyrics are honestly my pick for the greatest of all time. Simple prose almost like limericks, but they really packed a punch. Breathe and Time parallel stories of individuals making two different decisions early in their life. With a 5 act structure illustrating how they different and similar these paths can be. Breathe is somewhat optimistic but also mysterious enough in verbiage that it can be taken as a tale of optimism or caution. Time on the other hand is clearly cautionary and banally tragic. To keep this guitar related, this shows in the great chord progressions of both, with breathe being one of the most unique I've ever heard. Time is much more of faithful to a slow moving melancholic The protagonist of Breathe leaves home early and with ambition determined to decide his own fate Where as in Time they wait around for something to come to them In Breathe they make memories and enjoy life in their prime In Time they grow bored and waste their days until they realize their prime is almost over. In Breathe the now middle aged protagonists ambitions bury him into his work, as he presumably forgets to sit down and enjoy the life he's built. In Time the protagonist spends his middle age years trying to make up for the time he wasted. The ending of breathe seems more up to interpretation, At first I thought it was a song about how ambition can keep you away from what makes life great. As riding the tide let's you live long and fly high. But the protagonist did not make that choice, so he presumably rode the biggest wave and died early due to stress.

Wanted to practice my timing and play something live without any overdubs, and what’s better for that than a looper pedal? 😁 If your timing is bad, the looper will expose you instantly. How do you usually practice timing and rhythm?

Absolutely loved this song since the day i heard it. And it's a lot of fun to play on the guitar as well. Hope this inspires you to learn something new this weekend :)

Been a fan of Arcade Fire for a long time now. Here's a song they released a few years ago i've been listening to during breakfast these days 🍎 What have you been listening to these days? https://youtu.be/qJiALpiqpk8?si=eRnoEBBsu-NKZjwu

Here's a classic hill country blues song by R.L. Burnside. One of the best blues performances i've ever seen. And it's litterally in the guy's backyard 🌳 https://youtu.be/K_DOnKJ232M?si=LCdEDd7TkUEw2eSW
