The mentor that I chose for this project is Jack White.
His minimalistic way of approaching music has always been something I admire. But the thing that really inspires me about him is how he really goes out of his way to find guitars that are hard to play. According to him, every note can't just be a wimpy note that you just play. It has to be something you struggle to get. This really keeps him from doing any fancy and fast "shredding" guitar technique that a lot of people practices thousands of hours to perfect. This results to a music that is simple, raw but very musical and melodic. I believe being uncomfortable can really result to something great. That's why I decide write different genre of songs that I'm not comfortable with. I want to limit myself with little knowledge that I know from different genres and make something out of it. Forgetting scales and just playing what sounds good to me.
