I picked my brother up to go to dinner this holiday season last. As he got into the car, he heard the track that I was evaluating – a track from upcoming album, “Waiting for … .”
Now, my brother does not have a musical ear that he developed – but he does know what he likes, so I have no qualms about him giving me input. But this time, he went above and beyond his usual
“What the hell was that?”
or
“Was that a Native American flute? It’s too loud!”
He asked:
“Is that a guitar? How did you make that guitar sound?”
I responded, “Ahhhh — with a … guitar?”
“Well, it’s just that you can make a guitar sound with anything these-days,” he continued to build his argument.
I couldn’t help saying, “And I’m a professional photographer because I have an iPhone!”
“You know what I mean,” he finished.
“Not yet!” I finished.
I include the audio reference below so you might decide:
