I immediately heard the whole track come together in my head. The main harmonizer riff came to me in a thought rather than an experiment. What was I thinking?: This was the last track recorded for Passion and Warfare (at the last minute) and it went down the quickest.probably 2 days total. However, using a harmonizer on this melody makes your testosterone level increase by 48 lipids. If you try to play it without the harmonizer, you may want to learn the lower melody line to keep the tonality. The fingering of the main rhythm feels like the key of A minor, but with the harmonizer set a 5th lower it changes the tonality to D minor. The solo section basically spells out a D Dorian flavor: D, E, F, G, A B, C, D (same as C major).įX: For the guitar sound there was a Whammy Pedal used that was set to a 5th down. Key(s): The gist of the song is in D Pentatonic Blues. The cue to get out of it is when you hear the reverend shout, "Let'em go!!!" Then the track jumps into the weighty E chord change. It should never end and if you put a loop on it.it never has to. In the following text, Steve talks about the Naked Track for The Animal and how you might approach working with it.įorm: The basic form of the track is the same as the recorded version, but the solo section is extended (and rightfully so).
