_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] This is Steve Lacey.
[C] _ _
_ [F] You might not know him [G] yet, but you probably know his music.
_ [Bb] He's part of the band The [Abm] Internet, he's a producer with [Ebm] people like J.
Cole and Kendrick
Lamar, and he just put out his first solo [Abm] music recently.
_ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Abm] I'm about to get crazy. _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Oh, and he's [Bb] 18.
_ _ You [F] might notice there's all this studio [Bb] equipment behind him.
[A] Steve doesn't [Bb] use any of it, well, other than the [Abm] swords.
_ I'm going [Gb] to show you how I make music on my [Eb] phone. _
_ _ I'll show [E] you a little bit of the [Bbm] process.
Lacey records all of his [B] music on his phone.
He's used lots of [Bb] apps before, [Abm] but GarageBand is his [Gb] favorite.
_ I started off with a simple drum loop. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ After the drums.
Then he plugs his guitar [Gm] into his iPhone using [Bm] an iRig cable.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Then I'll [G] play the melody.
_ _ [C] Then he adds his [F] vocals. _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Lacey would [G] rather sing [C] straight into the iPhone's mic, holding [F] a pop filter and getting
[Em] right up close.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] As he works, he just [C] stacks the tracks on top [F] of each other, one by one, with [Em] GarageBand.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] I _ [F] _ _
like [Em] to make [G] wherever I am.
_ _ [C] When I'm at home, [F] and my phone [G] was my first before, I started going to that studio.
I was making _ _ beats on my [Bm] phone, just [Em] making beats on the apps and [F] the drum kits and stuff.
_ [C] But I had got [G] this piece called the [Em] iRig.
_ I saw [G] you can plug it into your [C] iPhone, and I was like, oh, [F] they got amps on here.
_ [E] See what cool guitar [G] sounds I can get.
_ [C] Oh, this seems [F] cool, like, dope.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ Lacey's [G] kind of a big deal now.
He could use other equipment.
_ [Am] But he likes making music on [F] his iPhone.
There's even [C] something about the sound [F] that just feels very [Em] Steve.
_ [G] He calls his style [C] plaid.
You know, like [F] the shirt. _
[Em] Plaid is my genre.
I [G] found _ _ [C] that out, I _ [G] was thrift shopping, _ [Em] and _ [G] I was in the Pendleton section.
_ _ As I [Am] realized, _ _ _ [C] _ scruffling through the shirts, _ _ [B] I'm like, _ [Em] _ _ this kind of [G] looks like how my music [C] sounds.
If you [B] listen to _ [E] a couple songs, it might [G] sound like there's a lot [C] going on, _ [F] but it doesn't [Em] clash at all.
_ _ [G] In plaid, _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Em] it's a lot going on.
_ [G] All goes together to [C] be one _ [B] _ _
_ [Em] pattern.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
_ And that's what I _
[D] call my [B] music.
