“Practicing is boring. Getting better at guitar by playing in a band is much more interesting”: Geese are being hailed as the future of rock. Guitarist Emily Green can’t figure out why – but her ‘cloudy’ playing style might have something to do with it

Geese featuring guitarists Emily Green [left] and Cameron Winter [center] — perform “Taxes” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October.

I’m not sure if it’s the three-inch heels on her Doc Martens, but Emily Green dwarfs me as she strides across the stage. It’s about an hour before her band, Geese, soundchecks for their sold-out show at Detroit’s Majestic Theatre.

Officially, it’s day two of the band’s tour, save for a surprise hometown album release show at Banker’s Anchor in Brooklyn. That 100-yard stare that only a grueling tour can bestow has yet to set in for Green, and maybe that’s why she’s patient enough to let me put my grubby hands on her guitars. I pick up a short-scale Silvertone first. The aluminum edging is the most eye-catching, and the neck is massive.
