Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl - Chappell Roan // Electric Guitar Cover
An electric guitar cover of Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl by Chappell Roan using her live performance at Bonnaroo 2024 as inspiration for a more rock guitar approach. The song is from her album the Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Played on a Strandberg 6-string Boden Prog through an MXR Super Badass distortion pedal and a Spark amp by Positive Grid (providing the delay effect). Recorded in one take straight through.

    • @kaleidoscopeschool
      @kaleidoscopeschool Месяц назад

      In general you want the strobe squares to stay in place during sustain. I've observed (through years of tuning guitars) that the lower strings in particular can vary in tuning at the moment of attack (especially if you are picking too hard)

    I own and use 2 Godin LGXTsa guitars out live. I like them, except the weight. I also would prefer a skinnier neck. But overall the pros outweigh the cons, for me. I don't do hardly any synth ...both I use the acoustic and the electric heavily. I don't know if Godin will continue these guitars...the maker of the electronics (RMC) doesn't seem to have anymore parts in stock on their site. whatever that means. Personally I think a redisign would allow some serious improvements (weight reduction,thinner neck, better pegs, H S S not HB HB). But certainly good guitars already.

      can you clarify why? like was it recording volume? talking too fast? EQ? I was born with a cleft lip and palate so while I dodged the speech therapy bullet as a kid, that most kids with clefts have to go through, I dont always have the best diction; it's something I struggle with. But I take it as a win that I've faced up to self-criticalness and routinely make videos where I have to listen to myself talk repeatedly as I edit.
