This one’s a straight-up guitar playthrough for “Waiting” by my new band, VAN SAMM. I literally just recorded the track and then mimed the performance so I can look back and reference it whenever I need to—no hype, just a clean snapshot of how the parts lay under the vocal and where the dynamics hit. The song lives in that rock lane I’m always talking about, but it’s got that emotional push-and-pull in the lyrics—“I’ve been waiting” is the hook for a reason—and I wanted the guitars to support that without getting in the way. If you’re here for tones, this is the kind of playing where tight rhythm, sustain, and clarity matter more than showing off. The whole vibe is about that “time for love is here and now” lift, and then the heavier, more desperate sections where it feels like you’re fading out and clawing back in. Also—if you dig the track, hit VAN SAMM up on Spotify and Apple Music, because I’m stoked to finally get this stuff out in the world.
