It would be neat to have a thread where folks collect little tidbits about his playing style. It was kinda easy to take it for granted for some reason despite it being distinct. I have no idea about any of the details myself, but from casual listening the two things that I tend to enjoy are the aforementioned drone and note doubling as well as something special about his note attack. The latter is more than just the metal pick thing, but also the phrasing.akosinski wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:43 pmthis is something that became very noticeable after steve passed and my social media feed was filled with photos of him playing live. almost every shot of him playing guitar had him really stretched out wildly, reminding me of a thread (or maybe it was a text message thread) about Dave Mustaine’s Spider Chord playing which again, makes sense as Steve would frequently praise his guitar playing while simultaneously criticizing every other aspect of Dave’s persona and music.eephus wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 11:30 am From a playing standpoint, his willingness to utterly abuse his equipment was higher than most people, and he had big hands.

Even if someone can get the basic tones...they ain't Steve--or Santiago, who was the meat in the sandwich.
In my early days I have gone through the curse to get as close as possible to that holy grail of THE TOAN!
It just doesn't work like that, and after awhile you feel kinda dirty.
It's always better and more rewarding to mark your own path, instead of eating someone else's crumbs.
Saying that, Njegov Sin is basically Futurist played backwards.
