Zach Amster of ABRAMS on Weird Tunings, Keeping Guitar Fun & Soundgarden's "Mind Riot"

ABRAMS guitarist and vocalist Zach Amster talks about the value of experimenting with alternate guitar tunings as a way to keep playing fresh and creative — and why treating your instrument more like a toy than a precision tool can unlock ideas you'd never find any other way. Zach uses Soundgarden's "Mind Riot" as a prime example of what an unconventional tuning can do for a song. It's why some of the best rock music ever made came from musicians who weren't afraid to break the rules of how the instrument is supposed to be played. This is from our full interview with Zach ahead of the release of ABRAMS' new album Loon, out April 17th on Blues Funeral Recordings. 🎵 ORDER LOON (Out April 17th — Blues Funeral Recordings): US Orders → https://www.bluesfuneral.com/products/us-orders-abrams-loon-deluxe-vinyl-editions Bandcamp → https://abramsrock.bandcamp.com/album/loon
