    Always been envious of guitarists who have the techniques, songwriting skills and the ability to use the guitar within a composition without it having to be front and center.
    The guitar part is subdued, but without it, the song could not exist at such a high level
    I always thought of Alex Lifeson and Andy Summers
    playing like that.
    The Killers guitarist is cut from that same mold or at least similiar

    Learning this now...the 4 individual parts aren't crazy difficult (other than that stretch from G to D!), but the transitions are hard due to odd chords. If you can play this, you're a pretty good guitarist...this guy killed it, well done!

    This song and Snow by RHCP are two of the most frustrating songs to play; but not because the riffs are particularly difficult. With Snow, playing that riff throughout the entire songs is absolute murder on your arm and for this song it leaves your hand with what feels like carpal tunnel.

      The main part to practice is getting your hand placement right from the opening rift to the pre-chorus. Putting your ring finger and pinky on those 7th fret A# and C#. If you get that you got the song id say.

    • @drrockkso8882
      @drrockkso8882 3 роки тому +18

      I know. Most guitarists write songs that alternate between riffs and chords to give their fingers a break but Mr. Brightside is nothing but fast riff after fast riff the entire song, and they all require complex finger shapes and stretching. It's like he was intentionally trying to write a guitar track that would make most people's hands cramp up LOL

    • @sean_mccadden
      @sean_mccadden 3 роки тому +9

      I believe this is just the lead part. Sounds like there is a second guitar doing all strumming and I know the killers is a 2 guitar set up. Definitely very melodic lead part. Definitely a big part why the song is so great!

    Holy shit so his just came on while I had auto play on and I didn’t even notice any differences in the guitar and song, I just thought hmm this sounds like a differently mixed version or maybe compressed something, a couple little tiny parts sounded very try slightly different notes wise so I was like hmm maybe it’s an alt (or maybe demo) version they released on some b side or something lol, but then I just see it was you covering it, well done sir!! I’ve got a pretty good ear having recorded and mixed a bit and been musician since pre-puberty lol so noice.
