On Tomorrow and Black Horses, Reilly again defied Wilson and exercised his vocal chords. 'That's one thing I disagree with Tony about,'he told David Quantick. 'Everyone says my voice is awful. Tone and me have a very good relationship, we're close friends. He's like an older brother,...
“Yeah, sometimes, especially on classical guitars. I started classical guitar when I was around 14 years old. The thing with classical guitar is that you need to have a really strong left hand because you do a lot of barre chords, you do a lot of polyphonic stuff rather than the electr...
For the musicians out there: something peculiar I’ve noticed about Swift’s catalog is she mainly uses major/minor/sus chords. I’ve yet to find a standalone dominant chord or a major 7th anywhere (“Teardrops on my Guitar” has one C7/E chord, though). Plenty of minor 7ths, but ...
Before the 1990s our pianist would only play them in chords: CE, EG and CG (the major third, the minor third and the fifth, but this analogy is getting out of hand…) As we only ever met them in these combinations we assumed that these were the only combinations they ever occurred ...
"If we get out of this plane alive, I promise to do something good with my life." Back on firm ground, Kate and Meg won't let their sister forget her promise, and with their years of practice hitting just the right chords of guilt ("What kind of person lies to God?" Meg wants ...

The literal shock from his nervous system would render his vocal chords useless. It would make him a true mute, and it would suit him. No need for a collar with Skyler's knowledge of the body at hand. When he brought out the device, she gave him a sharp snarl, but looked at ...
9. In addition to buying the fire extinguisher (it will only set you back fifteen bucks or so), try to prevent a dangerous extension cord situation, buy investing in quality chords, rated at 15 amps or better. If you're the type of person that likes to daisy-chain power strips (I co...
way. I usually pick up a guitar and just let it kind of write for me, I use off kilter tunings and I have to learn unconventional shapes to make useable chords. That way I’m less trapped in the familiar, the fretboard terrain is new and so the sequences don’t tread the usual ...
“The Beautiful People” would become the band’s calling card, an aggro chorus that was undeniably catchy mixed in with ten ton chugs chords. It’s one of hard rock’s most important works, both unafraid to experiment and backing up the band’s claims of supremacy with excellent ...
