Back in Town (B Section)
Added 2020-09-24 17:48:48 +0000 UTCThis week we're looking at the B section from Back in Town. This demonstrates one of my favourite ideas for rhythm work - playing a conventional chord shapes, but having a static open string that rings out across all of them. In this case that's the high E string, and in each different chord it functions as a cool extension, giving us all kinds of mature and sophisticated sounds.
The effects I use to give it that nostalgic 80s feel are chorus, delay, and reverb.
Drop any Q's down below. Enjoy, and have fun!

Holy SHIT Phibbis, the album is amazing!! I'm still working on organizing my thoughts into something more coherent than "guitar very good sound nice" but it's some of the best work you've ever produced. I'm so incredibly happy right now, thanks for doing what you do!! :)

2020-09-24 19:27:51 +0000 UTCOhhh seventh chords, I know a few of those now! :D I absolutely love how angelic this sounds--that's the chorus effect, right? You touched on it briefly on stream and I remember liking it a lot. Hope you're doing well, and I'm super super excited for the album tonight!! Stay safe, teach!
