So there's a lot of reasons to take on this track, one it's a meme and you guys know how meme trash I am. Two, it's a sick song and has some really awesome lines and places to be able to embellish while still holding true to it's original feel which I am ALL about. The real reason I did this though is because like a week or so ago I was playing Among Us with proximity chat with Fyrus and he had Coconut Mall playing and hearing it fade in and out as he walked past me trying to do tasks and not getting murdered got it firmly stuck in my head during the time I was trying to decide what to cover this week. Thanks Fyrus.
This week I tried a different Lead guitar tone. I've been really loving playing through the Neural DSP Plini tone for leads that I decided to try it on this cover, but I had to wrangle it quite a lot since I'm so used to how my current tones blend. It let me have a lot more freedom with the mixing process though being able to literally change every aspect of the tone after recording, but I'm starting to thing that might be a hinderence for me more than anything since I can just tweak for days and days.
This was a fun happy cover for you guys as we move into the darkest month of the darkest year. Back to minor keys next week!
