I was just like, ?Well, would you please, please sing this song?? And she just nailed it. I?m taking her on tour to open the show. On ?Creamsickle Sunset? you made the guitar sound like a koto. Well you can do that by picking on a certain place on the neck. The guitar tone is so clean and naked. You can?t hide behind anything. It?s a very honest sound especially when it?s a Strat directly into a Bandmaster. It?s an Eric Johnson Strat. I wanted the sound of a Strat and I thought it was time to do a clean piece because I like those kinds of pieces. I had this silly riff that was like an old exercise for learning chord inversions. It?s like an E triad that inverts but it sounded like music and immediately I heard the whole song. I said, ?I really enjoyed recording it because the guitar is such a receptive instrument that you can touch the strings all sorts of different ways and it sounds differently. Like if you pluck them; if you strum them; if you use a pick.? So I thought I?m going to use every single technique I can to recreate this piece of music. I definitely wanted the sound and the performance to have its own identity and I wanted every note to speak. The way I vibrated them, I really studied it to make it feel a certain way. I wanted every note to have its own zip code
