ichika didn't invent this style of guitar

Damn, love that you talked about the twinkly midwest emo one, I really miss seeing guitar channels that primarily focus on either metal or more traditional, bluesy influenced rock touching these subjects, and yours was all that I could ever ask for. Which also made that jam much better than any I've heard, you understand the style well but bring the country/bluesy influences in. Also I can't tell how much you know about the genre, but basically it has roots in the late 80s and early 90s, Don Caballero sound pretty similar to this, a lot of 90s emo bands do (e.g. Mineral, American Football). The tapping as far as I can tell came later, the most obvious band being TTNG, and others such as Tiny Moving Parts and Jyocho (completely forgot Covet). Though I think two handed tapping never caught on with bands as much as it did with instagram and youtube guitarists.

Speaking of t-shirts, I just realized, that the logo on your t-shirt looks like the guitarist is really, um, 'excited' to be playing guitar...

Positivity just exudes from your videos, thank you for that.

I really hope to take part in your next one of these

That 2 handed tapping style is super common in Japanese math bands. Check out Sokoninaru for great example.

For me the two handed tapping started with Andy Mckee's Drifting and Trace Bundy's Canon. I learned both, impressed a ton of people and never stuck with the style. It's fun for style points but I felt like my abilities were too limited to actually create anything original with.

I'm prolly going a tad mooshy in lockdown, but I found the whole vidya rather heartwarming, and the mid-math emo/tapping pieces -- both the contributor's and Sammy's -- surprisingly beautiful and moving.

Big fan of math rock and the lot! I've been listening to math rock since 2019-ish and playing since early 2020, so I'm still relatively new but here's a bit of background about the genre. Math rock branches out every which way, taking ideas anyhere from folk, pop punk, jazz, noise, you name it. The pure math rock stuff, where the guitarist plays mostly clean with a lot of tapping, has been around for quite a while! The biggest albums being American Football's LP1 in the 90s, TTNG on their demos as well as Animals in 2008, Invalids on their album Eunoia in 2012, and it only goes deeper and more obscure as you look for more. Learning about this style over the past 2-ish years has been extremely fun for me and has changed how I play guitar entirely. I feel far more comfortable playing in this style as opposed to what I was doing before with bands like Dream Theater and Trivium, although I still love them and love playing their songs. I'm super glad it's getting a lot of recognition!

yes! more of this!!

Solid clip choices, and bonus points for mentioning Lenny Breau

I was introduced to the "non solo" 2 handed tapping through Minus the Bear. Check out "Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse" for an early example. Crazy to think it's almost 20 years old.

Love your honesty, your knowledge, and your playing. Would love to jam sometime

Let me find out you’ll be at the bluegrass jam!!

6:33 has some real hella vibes to it and im loving it

Even though I am likely one of the older farts among your subs, I enjoy your channel. A long time ago (maybe 40 years) I began classifying guitarists (in my opinion) as "technicians" or "musicians" with rare overlap. I certainly appreciate clean, lightning-fast, and intricate technical playing. But to my sensibilities, it would be difficult to include anything other than what I would consider head-banging music. Let the stones begin to fly. Cheers, Sammy G!

Dave La rue has a whammy bar in his bass when he was "bassing" for Steve morse.

8:07 The technique is really great here, like everybody at home. Everybody else does a great job too. But what I really notice is just how much work you've put into getting an unbelievable killer tone.It really sings. I don't know who made that guitar or what rig you're running it through, but you could play "Hot cross buns" with that kind of tone and it'd sound great.

8:08 would be the perfect moment to squeeze a never meant meme into the video

@samanderson6079

No one can touch Fripp.

I think the two handed clean math rock thing originated with stuff like Stanley Jordan, as well as songs like "Midnight" by Joe Satriani. From there, I feel like underground bands like Don Caballero (whose guitarist also just taps one handed while doubling the riff on keyboard sometimes) and Hella (who also used alternate tunings) continued that, and the style later diverged with Midwest emo like TTNG and Tiny Moving Parts which had more clean and soft elements. This eventually leading up to Covet and later Instagram guitar math rock, with people like Yvette Young incorporating piano writing into riffs. I could be missing stuff, but that's what I've gathered so far.

Man the amount of effort that Sammy G puts into every single one of his videos - even reaction videos like this - is insane.

Holy smokes the second one and what the samurai played too
