      Agree, punk had been doing that for decades. Like try playing The Clash's White Riot so that it sounds "right". It's harder than songs that are much more "technical" and you don't realize it until you actually try to get it right.

    i swear icky thump is one of the most catchiest riffs ever. Me and my friends have a little "band" where we get together in a garage and just jam. I'm usually on the keyboard or bass (mainly bass), my friend's on the drums and she's alright. Nothing fancy, a bit like Meg White in the sense of simplicity, but is actually kind of great when she tries. Then I have another friend on the guitar who's pretty decent. Can nail the Sweet Child o' Mine solo. If we had a bandleader it'd be her for sure. And another friend who's another keyboardist but can also play guitar (mainly does rhythm).
    There really is no other riff that hits as hard. Damn, the whole vibe just changes. We're head banging and basically jumping, then we laugh so hard we almost cry. Ugh I hope the pandemic is over soon so we can jam again

    Listening to all of these actually makes you sit there and think about how much the white stripes did kind of depend on megs drumming, dont get me wrong the guitar work that jack puts in is phenomenal but i cant be the only one who kind of thought this seemed empty because of no drums. Btw you did a damn good job on the riffs and the sound was perfect

    i have to say you have some really good picks, but Screwdriver would probably replace one of these picks for me personally. probably replacing Astro or Black Math (not necessarily in each respective position), it's so simple and yet great, especially the little bend part

    As a songwriter and musician, what pedal/effect did you use for the octave down on Seven Nation Army?

    • @bloxsy_
      @bloxsy_  4 роки тому +1

      I used a generic octave effect on GarageBand.
