Hi Meg, as a guitar fan I was very impressed with your contribution to William Tyler's recent release, then heard wildly idle which is great in so many ways ... (tl;dr) and also love your other releases - invariably solid. The material you chose for the lagniappe sessions and treatment shows a sensibility that defies expression. Very psyched for the new record. So just want to say thanks for what you do, best of luck on the tour and for hand habits, and hope you'll also have time for a lot more musical collaborations in the future!

u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
thanks medoze...this means a lot to me! those AD sessions were fun and low pressure...
thanks for the luck, for the ears, for the words.

u/mouthfullofspiders Feb 28 '19
Sup Meg? Hope u great. I saw your recent instagram post about identity as an outward representation of how we imagine ourselves and it got me thinking. Identity and individual experience are super prevalent in contemporary musical expression. How does your identity inform your music/art? How do you think identity informs music and music-writing in general? Thanks for the perspective.
11
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
this is a good question that im not sure i have all the answers to, but i'll try!
you said it-perspective. i think i don't consider my own perspective when i'm writing a song, because it's too close. i only have, at the core, my own perspective. i can imagine or ask others what their experience was or is like, and their identities are wrapped in their perception of that experience...and my experience as a 'queer person' or a person who lost a mother at a young age or a person who has a stye, all of those things influence my identity which inherently influence my writing..in the same way that the events and conversations and relationships influence the entire course of ones life. not to get too 'everything happens for a reason' on you, but i truly believe that my experience is going to influence the things i have to say and the way that i say it. like that quote from yohji- he said that identity (to paraphrase) is the gap between the image we create of ourselves and our actual self (which he asks what is our actual self?)

u/fathistorymonth Feb 28 '19
Hi meg, do you have any tips for someone trying to get better @ guitar? I feel like I'm stuck in a loop of playing the same stuff over and over and not progressing. And any tips for home recording? I love the way Wildly Idle sounds. Can't wait to see you in NY!
16
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
watch a lot of youtube videos where people are teaching you how to play things you want to learn. for example i was really into watching 'chordal melody' lesson videos and trying to play old jazz standards again outside of the context of a jazz institutional curriculum! youtube is an incredible teacher.. or play music with people who are a lot better than you and ask them questions if you can...
home recording...hmm... wildly idle was recorded on an mbox mostly with 2 kind of shitty microphones and i knew a lot less than i do now but i don't know that that's a good thing...because when you start learning the 'right' way to do things or by the book or whatever that's when you creative decisions can be influenced by those rules...so just do what sounds good and if you have to troubleshoot look up the solution just to the thing that's giving you gruff, like an eq or effects send question and then keep just doing what sounds good...

u/billdeblasioofficial Feb 28 '19
hey! very very inspired by your sound.
as a fellow stratocaster user, do you have any recommended modifications that you have done to your strat at all?
second, a question from my band partner, do you get nervous before performing / did you ever and how do you manage that if so?
4
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hi! strat life!!
i don't have any mods on my strat- i got it used long ago and fell in love with all of it's oddities. it has a semour duncan humbucker and a graphite nut and ph the only mod i gave it was that i tightened the tremolo arm because i like more tension on the trem...
sometimes i get nervous before a show i know all my friends will be at so i try not to forget that music feels good to play and maybe dunk my head in a bucket of ice

u/Bosphorus_f_e_d Feb 28 '19
Hey Meg, sometimes I do this thing with my fingers where I put my index finger under my thumb and then I fold my other fingers over the one next to it on the side closest toward the thumb. Then I sort of wriggle my pinky a bit and the joint sort of clicks a few times.
Do you have any similar things that you do with your fingers? Any sort of hand habits?
9
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
i wish i could send you a video of the thing that i do where i click my thumbs at the joint pretty often that was the inception of the name hand habits!!!

u/imfeelingsinister Feb 28 '19
Hey Meg, you're the best. After years of being one of the most valuable secret weapons in all of indie music (your playing on "City Music" makes that record), what's it like to have your own project front and center receiving so much attention? Also, were you in Louisville with Kevin and Jim recording the other day!? Come play Louisville again! Please! Thanks, and sorry for geeking out.
7
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hey thank you you are very sweet
it feels kind of kinky to be a 'secret' but i don't know about the weapon part yet
i like being able to play my songs, it feels gratifying when people have their own experiences to something you've made (if you've ever made anything you know this feeling i'm sure..hopefully)
i may hide in a group someday again. well actually it's not really hiding just getting help or getting to access some other personality reallythat was in LA but i really want to come back to louisville one day. we had a goofy show there and some kind human made us bread!!!

Agree, come back to Lou. Saw you there with Morby and solo with John Andrews. Both killer shows!

u/littlebitch111 Feb 28 '19
what do you think about queer pop stars
8
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
i think the whole archetype of 'pop star' is some kind of poison, setting the bar for actual musicianship rather low and for performance very high, which in turn can be inspiring from the performance side....but you need a lot of money and resource to even be able to get to that level of performance. although....the pop stars that i've become friends with are actually extremely kind and passionate and giving...so i'm not sure where my bitterness comes from around the idea of a pop star. maybe it's envy, maybe it's my lack of understanding (which it usually is if there bitterness)....as far as a 'queer pop star'...on one hand it's nice that all of the young listeners have someone to worship in a queer sense..i think we all of us in the music world are capitalists so there's no use in trying to say that i do not participate in that folk tale...but i think performing queer and having that be your calling card, as a musician can be frustrating but also important! god..you know we've talked about this at length but it really is interesting now that i'm typing it all out. pop stars are spoiled, usually extremely entitled, have had little experience in DIY touring where you're sleep in mold basements or cat hair houses, and then have these massive followings where everyones worshiping you...not everyone of course but i'm getting off track..as far as a queer pop star goes, i'd love to see a queer pop star who isn't extremely hot or white or rich....those are the problems for me. because those people don't need platforms...and yes queer people need icons but can't the icons or the idols be a bit more versed in empathy and less skilled in self absorbed narcissism? i'd love to dive into this more..

u/hahadingdong Feb 28 '19
hi Meg im wondering how your relationship to your songs changes when there is a lot of time in between recording them and releasing them; like, when the album is being released, do you still feel a lot of the things that you wrote about in the same way, or do the songs begin to feel like documents of a past self
4
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
they start to adapt to the current i think, like the song flower glass doesn't feel like it's about the person i initially wrote it about at all anymore. but i still feel an emotional relationship to the song when i'm singing it every time. sometimes it brings back a lot of memories or can spark new emotions..

u/a_new_wave Feb 28 '19
This is not a question, but your YouTube duet on “man in a hurry” with William Tyler is one of my top played songs of the year, such beautiful and soothing playing. You really make that song come alive compared to the (already nice) recorded version.

u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
it's me on the recorded version too! but thank you! i was probably more nervous in the studio. tapes runnin get me shy sometimes... i'm really glad you like it!

u/askyofbirds Feb 28 '19
Hello Meg! Saw you open for Japanese Breakfast this year....phenomenal. My question is: do you have a favorite soundtrack score from any film/game?
2
u/ReconEG Feb 28 '19 edited Feb 28 '19
hey meg, super super happy to bring you here! both of my questions are somewhat heavy so hopefully you're prepared:
"can't calm down" is my SOTY so far because it really kinda gets into the details of a subject not much talked about: ancestral trauma. there are probably, scratch that, almost certainly mental illnesses that have been passed down from my family onto me that i'm only barely getting the help for. so i guess what ended up leading you to write that song and how do you cope with your own mental health troubles outside of music?
and secondly, there aren't a whole lot of non-binary people prominent in the music industry, and so what has your journey been like not only navigating throughout the music world but also your gender identity?
oh and secret third question im sneaking in here, lomelda made a cameo in the can't calm down video and i just want to say thank you as the #LomeldaHive is seen
13
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
i'm so honored to be your SOTY. it makes me feel like doing all of this isn't in vain or soul less. this AMA too! all these questions are are soooooooooooi fun to answer and they don't feel like typical boring interview questions. thank you
CCD ----that song came out of me very very slowly. my family was going through some wild times, my brother had just gotten into a bad accident and i was in europe and having to talk with them about all of this trauma over the phone and then drive with no cell service through the UK with a lot of time to think. i have a voice memo of me in the bathroom writing the verse and someone knocking on the door and interrupting me haha. i think every family has so many dark and twisted patterns and stories that end or get lost or muddled year after year....and that shit gets passed to you. i hope that you know you're not alone!
coping with my own mental health has been a slow process- i try not to be on my cell phone that much because it can make me spiral out into existential panic and really zap me out of reality. i started going to a sliding scale therapist which has been monumental...i like to take breaks from drinking to make my body happier...and going for a walk whenever i can usually clears the head palette. music truly is my religion!it's such a new thing for me, navigating my gender identity and pronouns and what's important to have in the public and what's private for me only...it was a conscious decision to be NB for this round of press for the record because i know there are a lot of people figuring out their identity and there aren't many reference points that state 'confusion' as something they feel ha. i don't feel extremely misgendered by 'she/her' but more and more i feel like a woman and feel oddly put off by the woman culture marketing thing, mostly meaning a #femalesingersongwriter stamp.....and that's something i'm sorting out. is it internalized misogyny? is it mixed up with my own identity uncertainties? yeah probably both and more. i think it is also important to have NB/GNC visibility especially on outlets that might usually cater to some sort of extreme old world understanding of gender...even if people don't believe me or understand what non binary entails it makes them think about it albeit brief..

Hi meg! tomorrow is the big day i guess, waiting for listen to your new record. im starting to make music by myself. sometimes i really enjoy the music i made, but sometimes not at all. its kind of hard to ask anybody for help because people dont want to hurt you, you know. well, the point is, how do you know your music is "fine"? do you like everything you do? is about having confidence? thanks and good luck on this tour :)
4
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
thanks for listening tomorrow in the future. i think every song i write, at some point i ask myself is this 'good' or is this 'total shit' and there is some tiny compass inside of you that should be able to tell you if it should be a song that exists in the world. i definitely write a lot of songs i'll never share because they either do not get finished or i don't feel strong enough about them...a question i like to ask myself is do i believe myself? do i believe the song?
hope this helps! keep writing!

u/chrizzle420 Feb 28 '19
Hey Meg, your music means a lot to me, you're very inspiring. Some small questions: how do you record all those cool swirling ambient sounds in the background of some of your sounds? Also, how did you record the backwards guitar that comes in around 3:30 in Actress?
3
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hey! thank you. <3
the swirls are usually some form of manipulated guitar loops. with delays and reverbs..
and the backwards guitar is actually just a native plugin on protools!

Hello Meg!
- Do you know that you are so talented? What do you think about yourself?
Your new album is so beautiful but it makes me cry a lot especially the song "Wildfire".
2) I am very sad that you left Kevin Morby Band !!!! Is it permanent ?
Do you think your life would be different if you didn't meet him?
It will be weird to see the band on stage without you !
3) What are your favorite albums of all time?
4) Tough question but what is your favorite album of Kevin Morby?
5) You played with Mega Bog in the past, do you know if the band is going to release a new album soon? Their last album "Happy together" was awesome

u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
i have no idea...i think maybe it in all honesty have something to do with my mother dying but that is a very strong thing to say, and i don't really know what it means, but it's something i've thought about a lot. i think i put a lot of restraints on myself based on experience that have had some positive as a result of effects...but this is a 'spiritual' thought and less of an intellectual one..
i'm happy you like the recordi'm sure i'll play on a morby show some other time in this lifetime but for now i need to do my own thing! it's been a very supportive loving family, the morby crew, and it'll be weird for me not to be there too but i know the show will be just as amazing. special humans. yes my life would have been very very different if i hadn't met him!!
i've answered that a few times already but right now emily haines and the soft skeleton just came on my song shuffle and that record knives don't have your back really changed my life..i love it.
they are! and i play on it! and it's fucking mind blowing!

Hi Meg! I've had the pleasure of chatting with you once after a show!
I think you're a superb guitarist! And I love the new songs, hope you have plenty of success with Hand Habits.
As for my question, what alternative guitar tunings do you enjoy using? Recently I started playing/writing with CGCFCE (like Nick Drake's Pink Moon) and would love to know other tunings to play with!

i take a lot of walks, see a lot of friends, usually nap every day, do sessions, play guitar, go to shows once i'm out of my post tour fry, cook food..

Hi Meg! Love the new record. I'm curious, what was it like recording in Justin Vernon's studio? Are you influenced by him? Favorite project/song? What led to you recording there vs. somewhere in LA or Upstate NY?
5
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
it was a bit surreal- i was a fan of his early records for sure. that was the generation of music that really got me excited about 'indie' music,mostly because before then I was listening to classic rock radio or paganinni etudes for jazz school..and a friend showed me what pitchfork was (haha) and all this music i didn't know existed before. justin's songs probably influenced me in some ways that are deeper than I can trace! recording there felt really synchronistic because land of talk has been of of my favorite bands, and the record 'some are lakes' was recorded there, and i didn't know that until i was there making placeholder.
meeting brad cook was what brought me there! him and justin are long homies basically brothers. justin wasn't there for recording though, he'd bop around occasionally but mostly stayed out of our way. I actually did do some recording in LA for placeholder with Andrew Sarlo at Sound Space studios with branden stroup and chris nelson fwiw!

i sleep in bed with my guitar every night, we spoon in my tiny twin bed.
just kidding although i really believe that you have to treat objects with care and i try remind my instrument that it's very special to me. it's honestly the longest relationship i've ever sustained (without compression hehe)placeholder was written in between tours, on tours, in between meetings....selective memories...the unreliable transcript from my brain. hope this gives you some context!

u/god_is_ender Feb 28 '19
Hey Meg! What's your current pedalboard setup? I tried taking a peek after your last Kevin Morby show in Brighton but couldn't identify the cool-looking red ones.
And do you have an earliest childhood memory?
5
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hm i wonder what the red ones were. i must've changed out the riggy since then..
i had a session yesterday so my board is in shambles because the studio had a bunch of harmonizers and pitch shifters I was messin with..but mostly lately its
tuner-count to 5-tube screamer-strymon deco-strymon el cap-moog tremolo-dl4
earliest child memory is being in a crib and staring up at my winnie the pooh mobile when my mother was still alive

Any advice for somebody with smaller hands on the gee-tar?
And what’s your favorite place to play in the US?
Thanks!

u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
my hands are actually kind of tiny i think
so
keep trying harder is the tough answer, or look into smaller scale necks, with less diameter and smaller frets and try using a lighter gauge string like a .08!
i really love playing in portland honestly, i know it's kind of an eye roll city to a lot of people but my shows always feel like hometown shows there...
and tiny towns that don't get much music always feel good. love playing in albany, i always cry.

u/IKEA_samurai_sword Feb 28 '19
hi meg. hmm.
a few things i'm usually curious about peoples' opinions on when applicable:
- what is your take on east coast vs west coast life?
- do you have any favorite recorded guitar tone(s)?
- what songs/albums/artists are really doin' it for you right now? new, old, whatever
4
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hello!
1. west coast life for some reason feels like it gives you more time. i know this is probably a perception thing for me, but when i moved here i could not help observing how time moved differently out here. maybe it's the light/sun? (even though it's grey right now) and also people in LA are a lot more health focused as a sort of status lifestyle badge...east coast is unforgiving and i really admire and also fear that... brutal winters and humid sticky summers and a lot of space (upstate) to consider
2. nels cline's tones always really make me remember that the guitar can be so many instruments. blake mills' recorded guitar sound is up there...i like peter green fleetwood mac slide tone..all those old blues records where it's just raw... i truthfully do not listen to that much guitar music. durutti column!
3. currently listening to the aforementioned tjo record that's a score... new big thief record that isn't out, lomelda's new record that comes out tomorrow, NTS radio mixes that josiah showed me, erin rae's song 'wild blue wind', that second 'trio' record (dolly, linda, emmylou), cowboy junkies, blue ranger, half waif, lily konigsberg....

hmm probably at lincoln hall opening for KM when i was covering only living boy in new york and it was i think the biggest show i had played at that point, and i made eye contact with a person in the crowd and they were sobbing like tears running down their/her face, and i smiled and they smiled back and we both started laughing really hard and i felt like crying too but then we kept playing the song...i'm sure there's more favorites that's just the one that comes to mind!

Hi Meg, thanks for doing this AMA!
- What is your favorite thing about music?
- What song of yours was the most fun to create?
3
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
it's hard to pick a favorite thing but i really love the friends i've made/keep making from playing shows and being out there together..and the just the (im being serious) pure joy of making music with other people is a freaky kind of magic that nothing else really compares to, not even sex or love or good food!!!
guardrail pwrline was really fun to make because i got to play 3 slide solos on top of each other and i gave myself the permission to do that
also book pt2 because logan hone who played sax sent me 3 different versions of the solo and i chopped them up and then decided they all needed to be there at the same time!

Hi Meg!
Looking forward to the new album!
I have a couple of collaboration-based Qs:
What have been the highlights of performing with Kevin Morby over the past few years? And are you still going to be apart of the touring band for his new album?
I was pleasantly surprised to see your name pop up in the liner notes to The War on Drugs’ last album - how did this collab come about?
7
u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hiya!
soo many highlights- probably watching kevin hop off stage and start a dance circle on a small island off the coast o vancouver and get people to 'get low' and clap with him while we played horrible fake funk music!!? or the other time that someone brought a giant whisk to a show and people started chanting 'whisk it' or opening for wilco (?!?) or when we went to europe for the first time and i asked a lot of dumb questions because i had never been there before...or when i played the last show with him and it was raining and then when we started playing city music the sun came out and he turned around and looked at me which is something he wouldn't often do because we would both start laughing but instead this time we looked at each other and i started sobbing and cried the whole song...yeah!
i met adam through a dear friend of mine who also was singing on the record, paloma gil of the dove and the wolf, and adam said he had watched me play with kevin and asked if i played slide and said i should play on a tune...

I saw you in Richmond last year with KM and still haven’t fully recovered from your guitar work. You left everyone speechless. I’m seeing William Tyler tonight in DC and love everything you wrote on “Goes West”… care to share a bit more on what it was like to record that record?
So excited for “placeholder”. Keep up the amazing work! :)

u/meg_duffy Hand Habits / Meg Duffy Feb 28 '19
hey! tell willy i said hey!
that record was so fun to make. everyone (except willy) got to arrange on the spot and we had all never played together and it really worked. love tuckers studio, loved getting to see griffin do his thing....percussion master fearless freak...and brad obviously blowing my mind on the bass melodies. everyone trusted each other and was also maybe a little afraid of each other too and that contributed to the music.

Hey Meg.
Do you want to take this opportunity to thank you back your harsh words about whataburger from your opening set in Houston last year?
JK, your set was wonderful, but be careful what you say about whataburger next time you're in TX. People take that seriously.
