Generous Dimensions (Pre-Chorus)
Added 2019-11-07 21:30:36 +0000 UTCHere's the pre-chorus for Generous Dimensions. We did the verse a few weeks back as well, check it out if you haven't already!
Pro Tips:
- Apply vibrato to the notes for a bit of extra sass.
- When playing single note stuff on the low strings, the underside of your first finger can lightly touch the high strings, muting them. This is important when you're playing with distortion and feedback is a concern!
- Pay attention to which notes are palm muted and which notes aren't. This helps make the riff sound more menacing where it needs to.
Theory:
- The scale is C minor (C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb)
- Commander Meouch and I double this riff to give it some serious meat and potatoes.
- There are some high and sprinky synth chords above this melody/riff: Cmaj7 - Emaj7 - Abmaj7 - Fmin7 . This is in contrast to the the more common approach where the chordal instruments sit below the melody/riff. (By above and below, I'm referring to pitch)
This sweet sweet TAB is available as both a PDF and Guitar Pro file.
I hope you enjoy!

Such Chonky sass indeed! love thisss (I was wondering if the MeowchyMans bass was also doubled over with in the song, and low and behold!) Also, can I just say, I love the way you type/language you use man (It's beyond adorable)

2019-11-11 05:37:13 +0000 UTCEasier! The best thing you can do when learning something is to play it really slow, and slowly raise the speed up over time.
2019-11-09 18:16:02 +0000 UTCIt seems my kitty is just as excited to hear/see this bit of the song! She rushed over as soon as I hit play. Lol! Hope you’re getting some much needed rest! Thanks again for doing these! It’s always fascinating to go through these and stretch some music muscles I haven’t stretched in ages.
2019-11-09 07:13:58 +0000 UTCLove the theory as always. :) Excited that I could kinda play this! It's going to be my fun end of practice song for a while, I can tell.

2019-11-08 07:39:10 +0000 UTCI like that in each video you repeat the section and slow it down to make it easier for people to follow. Is it harder to play it slower?

2019-11-08 05:27:37 +0000 UTCGood question! The bass and the guitar both play the same thing.
