      It's also tuned way down. Not to hard to figure out if you know the song. I have a feeling it was done on purpose.

    His guitar work is insanely good. The way he blends his jazz chords. The entire in reverie album rocked, it's very pretty sounding. Stay what you are...perfect album. Very rare to do so. Not 1 bad song. And sound the alarm was great. Delusional, hell is here and sound the alarm have such great chord progressions it's insane. I could watch him talk about his songs for 5 hrs straight.

      If u look at his old vid his voice was high and his singing was was low tough sounding. But he blew out his voice and maybe had surgery..but he def said he could not continue to sing the way he used to and had to find a middle ground.

      His voice oddly got higher and higher the newer the albums are. His voice was pretty normal on Saves the Day's first w albums. That dramatically got higher. By their 4th album, it got TOO high. STDs first 3 albums are amazing...everything after is borderline annoying due to his high voice.

  • @smileswrappedingauze
    @smileswrappedingauze 4 года назад +5

    lol i like how like 1/4th of this vid is just chris conley just playing the stairway to heaven riff & smoke on the water like you're being trolled. then one of the first riffs he plays is 'anywhere with you' which is like one of the first songs i ever tried to learn on guitar. i remember my uncle that had a stroke recently was like "i've played guitar for years, i can teach you any song! just show me." & i played him that song. & he was just like "okay, i don't know how to play this..." even though it's literally like 4 power chords & a B dominant 7, which is such a beatles chord i feel like he should've known that lol.
    even after i bought a guitar & just sat down & learned how to play like 'fear before the march of flames - odd how people shake' in it's entirety, things that are overly simple have always been hard to me.
    that riff for that new song is pretty cool even though i've literally never even listened to it before lol.
    but i'm glad he at lea st played the opening riff to 'you vandal', because that's just one of the best opening riffs to an album ever in general.

  • @patrickbrownson1
    @patrickbrownson1 Год назад +1

    Not surprised at his proficiency- the “Through Being Cool” & “Stay What You Are” lineup was so goddamn tight, as technically gnarly as any emo/metalcore band from that era but subtler, lovelier and just classier than any of those bands who are not named Thrice. What a brilliant bunch of dudes to develop your songwriting chops with. I imagine he learned quite a bit from the other 4 dudes before they split.
