I like the little fill you added with high E-D-B to break it up. A lot of times I start out the song with a low open E-open A-A#-B for a growling start and then during the verse I play the same pattern moved up to the 12th fret on E and A strings because it seems to cut through the mix in my band with five other instruments. Side note: I don’t usually like to ask but, I’m having trouble with Criminal by Fiona Apple and wondering if you would do a video of it when you have the time?

[@Brand73]

thanks! that riff gets a little too repetitive so it's nice to move it around as you mentioned to keep it more interesting. I'm not familiar with that Fiona Apple song but I can definitely take a look.

[@johncook9983]

@@Brand73 it’s actually a pretty good song. I have the intro/outro generally figured out but my timing gets a little out of sorts and that’ll come with repetition. My main challenge with it is the progression through the main portions.

I am learning this for a gig - it occurs to me that it coud be played beginning at the open E. That is usually the first choice. Why is this song played with the higher E?

[@nowhearthis5067]

IMO, the verses are played at the bass mid E to add drama when the chorus kicks in and playing drops to the low E position accompanied by a change in bass line. Quite frankly, IMO, w/o the drama of that E change it’s a fairly monotonous moronic song.

[@tribunalrecording7394]

I also play it with the open E, it gives more of a live aesthetic with feeling the bass. Maybe I’m wrong.

​@@nowhearthis5067I don't think the low E is played in this song at any point.
