better guitarist turned pianist

[k1guitar]

on a good old ipod shuffle session Mouth of Ghosts came on, followed by For Miles. and i realized two of my favorite guitarists became great piano players over the course of one album.

i know theres a lot more for teppei than for ben, but who o you think has better output on the piano?

[k1guitar]

i say ben. just for that awesome solo he pulls off at the end of "mouth".

im sure i forgot a bunch, but this is straight off the top of my head.

Love both Thrice and Dillinger. Ben Weinman is more talented, but Teppei, not to say I don't have a huge gay man crush on him for his work, will win the popular vote.

[Ryan Rumsey]

Teppei for me. That guy has so much talent.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Teppei.

[Meeze]

Teppei is amazing with the ax

[dave vegan]

Ben Weinman is a fucking genius.

[Sloth7]

This is a tie for me. Both are great.

[brook183]

both are awesome, but teppei is asian AND awesome

[inthemidst]

Both are great, but I'm more familiar with Teppei's work with Thrice. He's such a talented musician/producer.

[spansen]

thrice.

petters. lolz.

[chrislauren]

petter? i can't tell if you did that on purpose or not.

Teppei

[Deadbolt23]

tep

[whiterussian]

I can't choose. Two of my favorite bands (DEP starting from Irony).



But there ought to be more examples out there.

(doesn't Teppei play the intro to "In Years To Come", perhaps more unfortunately perceived as the ending of Deadbolt?)
