CHON - Dew (Guitar Playthrough)

Well in music there's always a driving melody and accompaniment, a cantus firmus and counterpoint. If we apply the same concept to guitar, there's always going to be a lead and rhythm guitar at certain sections. The cool thing about CHON is that each song and section is different about which guitarist is doing the majority of playing, rather than your traditional lead/rhythm guitarists. This song for instance, is a Erick heavy song, but balances a little Mario with his solo in the middle.

[@user-ni7ui7hs8c]

BigElephant I heard in interview that they see the guitar like a piano one the left hand and the other guitar is the right hand that's why it sound particular.

[@nilssonschmillson5395]

The latter half of this song is absurdly good and painfully nostalgic for me. Chon at this time and around the time of Grow were the soundtrack to almost everything I did.. studying, cycling, smoking.. so important to me. I HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOOD FOR YOU BOYS🇬🇧

The solo of this song is prolly my favorite guitar solo of all time. I get emotional watching these guys play these days. Seems like so long ago when I first stumbled across a sub genre of music in my mom’s basement called “math rock” and I heard these guys playing amazingly. I am so sad that they have not been making new music… I miss my favorite band 😢

[@Moderrnclassic]

You’re not alone, this is one of my favorite solos, even math rock songs. I love the crazy tapping in the second half of the song, it literally sounds like an organ.

look at Animals as Leaders....bands with no vocals just don't really blow up and start winning awards or making TV appearances. People don't appreciate music with no words like they use to. Just look at some of the great Pianists and Orchestras of today....heard of any? No? I thought so. Even Moondog who created several instruments and was a blind musical genius wasn't TV famous.

There are 7 scale shapes called modes. Once you have memorized each of the 7 shapes, playing the 1.3.5.7 at each mode, like Mario does becomes easier than you would think. it's quite simple actually. Metaphorically, the square block goes in the square hole. The right chord, from the right mode, in the right key... If this doesn't make any sense, now you know what to go learn. MusicCoachMike.com

the only rock guitar I listened to is Van Halen because he got melody and in a weird way funky groove... that was many years ago. You guys not only have melody but also harmony, you've become my most favorite band. All other rock so call guitar gods, all they have is techniques. What God's gifts you both have in writing/harmonizing... in a weird way, take out the rock drums, 4/4 meter, and the distortion efx, and you music become all genres or cross genres... Your music has so much potential to appeal to all because is pure music...
