Doug:<\/strong> Joy, what is a lyrical guitarist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy Clark:<\/strong> That’s a good question. Thank you for having me first. The way I play is pretty melodic. And even if I’m soloing or playing something that’s not so singer-songwriter-esque, it’s still very lyrical. So the way I approach playing guitar is as if I’m playing and singing words, even if I’m not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doug:<\/strong> So what does mean on the finger level: are you just staying longer [on the strings]? You’re not playing staccato? And, I say this having very little musical ability, so I’m just curious. I’m always fascinated when I see somebody described that way and I’m like, man, I wish I knew what they meant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Joy Clark<\/strong>: There are many approaches to playing guitar, but it just means I’m not only strumming, I’m picking out… This is a good question. This is hard to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doug:<\/strong> You’re strumming and picking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Joy Clark<\/strong>: I’m strumming and picking, but in the absence of actual lyrics in the song, it sounds as if I’m playing lyrics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
