Hey /mu/, I need some help.
I agreed to play guitar with a play going on at my local tea shop, and I'm playing with musicians that are much, much better than me. The style of music they're playing is Celtic-sounding, and other than a select few songs, I have very little experience with playing Celtic music. Also, it's going to be mostly improvisational.
I need some good Celtic-esque guitar songs to pick up on the style. Any suggestions?
OP here, the only songs I know that are Celtic sounding are a Percy Grainger song, which being a march would be difficult to improvise over, and this song

What's the most intensely sad / feels album?
For me it has to be pic related. Something about it is so personal. And it's almost relatable whether you're going something presently, or remembering a dark time, considering this was after his whole ordeal with drugs.
Hospice would be my runner-up I guess, even though some people think it's melodramatic.

God tier taste, anon.
I'll stick with Frusciante and say that this album was remarkably sad, or at least very personal. I love how on a few tracks you can literally hear how badly his health had deteriorated from his heroin addiction, the best example being "I Can't See Until I See Your Eyes"
Plus the fact Joaquin Phoenix was on a couple tracks makes the overall feel of the record as it is today very haunting.
I'll post a few more.

I'll just go ahead and say literally any Elliott Smith album fits as a sad/feels album.
Either/Or is my personal pick and personal favorite.

What are albums that are deep?
How do people write songs with chills? A friend of mine will just sit down and write a song that is spine chilling. It's odd cause his range is just about two octaves and he's a nasally tenor, but what he's doing is working.
It makes me a bit jealous, but he'll just sit down and pump out a song out of nowhere.
How do? How does someone get great song writing skills?
Have talent and/or learn music theory
>>60185295
I got music theory, and improvising and throwing chord progressions together works pretty well. But for the most part it seems effortless. He even wrote a two chord song just using an augmented C and an augmented A chord and it is almost universally enjoyed when we play live.
What I'm more curious is about capturing a spark. I am always practicing and getting better, I just want to know how people put that spark/sound that makes people have chills into music.
Thinking of buying this book, and the article itself is quite interesting even if you have to filter out a lot of pseudo deep rubbish
Has /mu/ ever seen Godspeed You! Black Emperor live?
I have two times. Last time yesterday. They didn't disappoint. I already miss it... What an experience. So much chills.
What does /mu/ think?
I have seen them recently during the Asunder, Sweet and other distress tour. Great stuff. Was really loud but good though. Didn't disappoint at all.
Saw them in Amsterdam early this year. Amazing show, as always. They even played two new pieces.
I teared up when they segued from Hope Drone to those first notes of Behemoth, that wall of beautiful sound was too much for me to handle.

Thank you for your Help, Unofficial Helper Of /mu/.
I tried and tried multiple times to listen to them (OK computer and Kid A) but radiohead just doesn'tresonate with me.
I wanted to express this feeling in a baity fashion to further degrade the level of discussion in this board and eventually get some recs on which Radiohead albums I should listen to, except for OKC and Kid A

Is the best place to buy music CDs just straight from amazon? Are there any other alternatives that are cheaper/better? For those that sill buy CDs, where do you guys buy them?
And yeah
>2015, still buying CDs
>actually buying music
I get it.
Find a good used CD store.
I typically get my shit off Discogs if I can't get it off Amazon or at my local record store.
Either thrift stores or my local music store that buy used CDs.
