the only riddle is... what video will be sunday? I left a clue...

Another tune I need to relearn after just learning it 5 months ago. I must digress. On the bridge, the second chord in the sequence doesn't sound like what's on the track to my ears, unless I'm completely fucking tone deaf, lol.

@RyanLendt

4 жыл бұрын

Glad to be of service Joelle :) I assure you, what I showed you for the second chord of the bridge is what I saw Rivers do in several live videos - you're wanting to hear the low note drop a half step, which the bass takes care of for your earballs and the guitar just does the high octave. you could do both octaves if that's pleasing for you and you'd have 698xxx

Uhhh can you talk about the chorus tone, it’s soooo spot on. What are you using?

@RyanLendt

I believe I was using the Siren Midnight Train - which is technically a fuzz pedal, but sounds like a chunky distortion through some of my guitars, and like a gritty fuzz with others. i like the flexibility of it a lot. You can have one for 20% off if you use the code RYAN20 at sirenpedals.com (I don't get paid a cent to say that, or if you buy one)

@acousticmario6109

3 жыл бұрын

No it's your call lol. Music is fluid. River plays it multiple ways and I've seen many different people play it many different ways. It's more fun to make it your own then do exact note for note copy. Even river doesn't do the same thing Every time I'm sure that it would bore the heck out of him. If he didn't liven it up and play it multiple ways. My point is that for this variant with your tone and style it sounds better barred then raised to pluck the notes. Maybe a tone adjustment add a bit more lows end or fuzz or something the raised might sound better. Sorry if this came across as confrontational. It's not meant to be. You have skill and I respect that.

It sounds funny when I do the bend, like I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.
