Bury A Friend - Billie Eilish Cover

Guitar tuning: gGDGBE. Guitar is a borrowed D-28. Thanks so much Taylor and Ben for joining me! Ben introduced me to this one - it's just so dang spooky cool. Recorded in a hotel room in Augusta, GA a few weeks ago.
Recorded on a Zoom H6. Guitar is also being picked up via line out.

The BASS in that guitar tone! The vocal and guitar performance! Good lord, Josh, Ben, and Taylor. This is fantastic. The production of the original version is mindblowing but I just might prefer this version.

[@DanLiveOnUTube]

they used plugin to add the lower end harmonics. It's a good sounding guitar too.

[@p3rs0n42]

@@DanLiveOnUTube I'm not sure about that... The guitar tuning is in the description, I have no idea what on Earth it's called (if anything), but from how it's written down I'm fairly sure that bottom string G is an octave lower than the next string up. That is a lOOOOOw note for a guitar, I'm fairly sure one of my bass strings is tuned to it!

[@DanLiveOnUTube]

@@p3rs0n42 It's either that or eq but no guitar has that fat of low end without processing. I was just saying what I would have done.

[@p3rs0n42]

@@DanLiveOnUTube I guess you've never stuck heavy gauge strings on an acoustic and down tuned it

[@mlazowik]

​@@DanLiveOnUTube I think that the low end comes from a pickup, you can see a jack cable going into the zoom. That's also what gives the guitar more percussiveness.

The middle guys transition from his falsetto to his chest voice is amazing!! This was all amazing!!

[@BankruptGreek]

I know nothing of singing technique can you explain?

[@ryanrenn4815]

@@BankruptGreek falsetto is really high, and it's usually airy and feminine. in contrast, chest voice kind of feels like it's coming from the chest, and it's lower and more forceful. there's supposed to be one or two vocal bridges in between those two registers, where your voice kinda cracks if you try to slide down. so a smooth transition between one and the other is impressive!

[@ryanrenn4815]

@@asimhussain8716 that's a good question! in general the idea of different vocal registers isn't _universally_ accepted; it's more of a suggestion, and the ranges themselves will differ in their exact notes with people that have different pitch voices. but I think the concept of bridges isn't irrelevant here, because it's not really the norm to be able to transition that easily, and the words we have for those phenomena allow us to identify a job well done such as is the case here. :)

[@ryanrenn4815]
