But it just increased the kind of material we could do, the kind of things we could do.“And consequently, because Chris started writing in a way that Hiro and I wrote, in the way that Matt wrote, because he’s writing that way, he was writing material that would challenge us in the way we played. There are certain songs that we performed that we might take extended jam sections or solos, or we might improvise a little bit more, or reach and do something unusual.“Every time we played a set, Ben and I, and Matt, and oftentimes Chris would just wing the improvised or solo parts; we’d just be like, ‘Let’s see what happens!’ I think we played a little bit more conservatively because of the cameras and the lights - I could see that in my playing.”“I think in the early days we certainly used a lot more feedback and noise, and we were maybe a little bit more psychedelic; we would use feedback as another instrument, to augment the ambience on stage and create a sort of psychedelic thing.

It was pretty amazing, and demonstrated very distinct stylistic approaches to the instrument.”“Yes! Now he’s singing and playing guitar and challenging himself by playing in 3/4, 6/4, 5/4, 7/4, he becomes better. You wanted to hear the verse and the chorus the way they were arranged, and they weren’t really as loose.“But we still wrote songs like Slaves & Bulldozers, or Jesus Christ Pose, and that would incorporate the more live, spontaneous elements of the band, so I’d say that over time, the band became a little bit more proficient, as individual players, and in communicating with each other.“I don’t want to say we became more controlled, but we were tight when we had to be tight - because you’re going from 7/4 to 4/4 or whatever - and we were loose when you wanted it to be loose, because the song required a sort of trippy, spontaneous element.”Occasionally we’d do something that was a little bit out of the element of a person’s particular style, and that would necessitate that they adjust and grow and accommodate the material“I had just turned 24, or might have been 23 when the band started.

© But after the basic tonal differences in guitar and amps, the rest of it really comes down to your fingers.“Once, we were in the studio, and Ben was showing Chris and I how to play Taree; I think I knew how to play the song, but Chris was learning it, and we had one amp and one guitar set up out in the room in the studio.“Ben started playing this riff, and it sounded wiry, and angular, and had a little bit of a twang to it, just really bright and flashing. Hello!

That’s about as far as I can go with that. And as far as pedals, I like the wah-wah.

But we benefitted from the fact that Chris is up front and he can free up the vocal melody and he doesn’t need to wrap a vocal melody around a weird time signature.During the last seven years of our existence, we were all very impressed and remarked on what a good guitar player Chris had become“I think when Matt joined the band, it opened everything up again, because he was such a good drummer, and every limb played independently, and he was so adaptable that it allowed for us to expand our writing palette, and what it was we could do stylistically, and play with time signatures other than 3s and 4s.

I do the signature and everything, I approve the specs, and they take all the measurements.There were three different attempts to make a signature model Guild S-100, thwarted by the fact that the company would keep getting sold“And then, in 2011 or 12, Fender sells the Guild line, and it’s now owned by some company [Cōrdoba - Ed] in Southern California, and they’re mostly focusing on the acoustic line. Right now, that’s all kind of stalled.

Let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in Kim Thayil's Soundgarden guitar rig.

We were a little bit more quirky when we started out.“We became heavier, and we emphasised psychedelic elements in the heaviness, but over time - through a change in drummer, when we got Matt in the band, and later when we got Ben in the band - a lot of the quirky elements returned.

We recorded enough - over enough - for an album.

LOL.

According to Thayil, the band reconvened only to address some outstanding business matters.

And we’re not going to be able to play the material that we enjoyed from Soundgarden unless we play it together.
