Jaysin Zeilstra plays guitar that hits you in the chest. Low tunings, tight rhythms, and melodies that cut through the chaos.
As the guitarist for Nonpoint, the hard-hitting Florida band known for their explosive live shows, he talks about where that sound comes from, what keeps him inspired, and why tuning low just feels right.
In this interview, Jaysin shares why he calls his style “gorilla,” offers advice for players coming up, and reflects on the moments that shaped him as a guitarist.
