progressive grunge someone ?
Psychlona - Blow
This composition is interesting because, yeah, it could be decribed as progressive grunge and this is not common at all. it’s not extremely strange considering that grunge and stoner are pretty close (and progressive/psychedelic stoner is not rare), but anyway, still not very common. and also the shuffle is not very common neither on this musical style.
Sound-wise it’s the bean Bass POD again (+FX84), I wanted to try it with a more agressive tone than for my last cover, before I switch back to the Pro. that’s a pretty nice and lovely little preamp, with that distinctive early Line 6 feel.
I play with alternating fingers the first parts of the song, and take the pick for the last part. I like a lot using different techniques to expand my expression range, and here the pick brings me almost some kind of mechanical overdrive ; not more level or saturation but it allows me to give a brighter attack which sounds way more agressive, more metallic than the smooth finger playing. The finger playing is still interesting IMO to bring a more organic, fat deep tone during the begining of the song.
The Yamaha SBV might have been a better choice for this song, I don’t know. When in doubt, it’s always Greenie.
