the way ray took some time away from guitar following the breakup to explore other instruments and techniques and different sides of production/mixing, and then 'rediscovered' guitar and clearly focussed on fingerstyle playing and bluesy techniques for a while, and now he's honing in on precision picking jazz-style and has been working away at learning cliffs of dover for months and is considering taking lessons...and just a few months ago he was on stage four nights a week playing all the solos he wrote in his twenties bigger and better (and better again!) than ever before just for the joy of it, all the while chatting to other career musicians backstage about how mastery of your instrument matters so much less than playing it with feeling and making other people feel something...this guy is completely offline, any work he's put out has been self-released and the definition of a passion project, he's constantly writing music and learning more and more about what he can do with guitar with no intention of getting money or public praise from it - no intention of anything besides doing it. we're so lucky when we get to experience his playing but there's something so admirable and comforting about the knowledge that even if we don't see it for ourselves, he's still doing that shit! he's writing music with his kids and mixing songs and experimenting with new sounds and techniques and instruments just because! like...ray is one of the most incredible rock musicians out there but the most inspiring thing about him is how much he just genuinely truly loves his craft!! fuck!

i know there are other posts that are articulating this same thing but man i really feel like we don’t give ray enough credit for playing a huge part in mcr being so technically impressive. like yes gerard has the strong vision, charisma, and intuition that defines a large part of the ethos of mcr, but it all comes down to his creative relationship with ray toro. ray is able to go along with gerard’s direction so well and interpret it through his obsessive relationship with music. in lotms they literally refer to ray as “a man obsessed” where he’s constantly working on the production of the music. we see multiple clips of him sitting at his laptop meticulously mulling over tracks. the story about him obsessively listening to the black parade tracks in his car until it was perfect. him taking typing classes to improve his dexterity and his constant pursuit to mastering his instrument despite dedicating his life playing it for over twenty years. ray toro’s brilliant musicianship plays a HUGE part in what sets mcr apart from all the other emo bands.

My piece for Jump for the Stars!, a collection of shonen manga posters. I loved this series so much, the symbolism and art style are gorgeous.
