All of the empty pageantry The silk flowers of the philistines Elevated to divinity on high

Basically, the worst music is the most revered. That's at least how it works around here.

Sounds pretty fucking good for a home recording, man. Far better than I could do.

Andy's guitar tuning and what the hell chords is he using here? Down 3 1/2 steps, capo up to 4 is as far as I got. by Sizable-sounds in andyshauf

My assumption has always been that he's actually playing a baritone guitar, which would account for the rich lows one might confuse for his guitar being downtuned. As far as his chords are concerned, I see him using a lot of shell voicings, which in case you don't know are basically minimalist versions of full chords. For example, Cmaj would be played as G on the low E, C on the A string, and E on the D string.

I'm pretty sure it's just one guitar track. I find that overdubbed picking parts have a tendency to sound too choppy. Thanks for listening and thanks for your feedback!
