  • Sooo I got an electric, definitely took huge influence from Yvette Young writing this boppy riff. I tried to imagine what it'd feel like to fly coming up with this. I hope everyone listening enjoys the vibe :)

      @derrick.s  2 года назад

      @@joelwallenius2877 Yes, just like Adventure Spirit! It's one of my favorites. I definitely take huge influence from Yvette and her music, but I also learn other riffs in FACGCE that give me more ideas and chord shapes to apply to my own writing. I'd say it's a pretty established tuning in the Math rock and Midwestern emo genres. I like FACGCE because the base tuning sounds very dreamy, especially the natural harmonics (see ichika's math rock emo duet, I did a cover of it a few months ago).

    Nice, before I read the description I was going to compliment you and say it reminds me of Yvette Young. She's so awesome and Covet sticks around after shows to say hi to the fans. They have great energy inside and outside of their music.

    • @derrick.s
      @derrick.s  2 года назад

      She really is a once in a generation kind of artist. Nothing moves me like Yvette and Covet's work, I knew the second I heard Shibuya it was the style I wanted to teach myself. Still a long ways away from writing or playing at that level, but until then, her music is a hugely inspirational

      I thought the same thing, this tone isn't precisely what I want it to be yet. I'm pretty new to guitar (playing for a year), I'm still experimenting. I hope to switch to a single coil Ibanez soon, and maybe try a different amp. I just really needed an electric to get this decently recorded while it was still fresh in memory. I appreciate the feedback man :)

      @@derrick.s what I mean is that it’s very good!! I don’t think it’s possible to write a perfect song as It’s a very personal thing and taste that is music. I really really love your riff. It’s really really really good. My best tip is: be yourself. And make music for you to like it before anyone else to like it. Someone will feel the truth and will connect to your heart rather than to your skills. Skills aren’t a bad thing. They’re just not the main thing in my opinion. The skills of translating heart into sounds is more important than going super fast on your guitar without making a single mistake. Try to create that feeling that you crave for. The more you’ll write the closer you’ll get to it. With this rift you touched my heart, i subbed. And I’m already hyped to see what you’ll be writing next.
