how technical do you need to play?

[Guest]

So I came up with this great idea for a song it’s in key everything is fine. besides I don’t think it’s technical it’s three notes then a chord then four or five notes then a chord it’s really rememberable and it sounds a little like iron Maiden or even atlas rise by Metallica but I don’t think it’s technical. Then some ideas I have are just plam mutes on the low e string then some notes on the a string. So what I’m asking does it matter if it’s technical? Let me know also I will upload it soon.

Some of the best songs in the world are three chords and the truth. Technical music impresses other musicians. Catchy music impresses everyone. Technical and catchy is something few do well, and A7X is one of the few.

Technical good doesn’t mean it’s an actual good song. Good songs all depend on what you hear and when that sounds good technical ability is not important at all.

This isn’t technical but everything about this song is beautiful and catchy and it is what I aspire to play like

You don’t have to go all Tosin Abasi on it , as long as it sounds good to you it’s all that matters

Steve Vai has a fantastic video on this, explaining how much technical you need to play. This has removed many confusions from my head. I hope you find this useful.
