Hey. How's it going? Are you doing all right?
BIG POWER CHORD!!!Episode 14 of The Matt Kollock Show covers my current thoughts about the state of my main instrument.
I have been a guitar player for more than 30 years now. I have always identified, musically, with the guitar as my primary tool of expression. In recent years, though, I have distanced myself from the culture surrounding the instrument. It is, as you may know, very white, very male, very regressive and very boring. I don't want my music to be about those things.
Lately as I've been enduring emotional ups and downs, I have come to regard the instrument and its culture a little differently. I recognize that I am a part of the guitar tapestry. I have a voice in the community. My words carry weight. I know what I'm talking about. I can occupy the lane of "GUITARIST" and make an impact. So that's what I've decided to do.
I want to do it differently, though. I want to be YOUR guitar hero. A new kind of guitar hero.
