Get laps of time. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yes! _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Start again. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ Start [B] again.
When I first started [G#] doing the percussive stuff, it [F#] was very much all _ [G] _
separate.
And all, [E] like, I was, kind of, bass [A#m] drums were down here and everything [C#] was _ kind of miles away.
And then recently I've started kind of mixing everything in with the actual strumming a bit more.
So you're not [D#] thinking_
_ _ Because I always see it in two [A] ways.
Either completely it's a drum kit, as in [F] kick's there, kick's there.
[Fm] Or this sort of little embellishment, [G#m] which I think, you know, where [G] do you come from?
I think I'm probably more _ _ [Am] drummy than I am percussion-y.
[F#] Okay.
I think.
90% of the time.
Occasionally I'll kind [A#] of break away [C] from that.
And whereabouts from the body?
[N] Can we have a_
I've got loads.
_ Obviously there's great bass drum there.
_ And especially for, like, four on the floor stuff as [C#m] well. _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ And then [F] there's that one down there.
_ That one's slightly rounder sometimes. _ _
_ And also, if you're plugged in, say, using the mic, then they [A] sound more different.
Just because of the proximity [G] to the mic.
I do occasionally use the one on the back and [F#] flip it upside down.
Really?
Right, okay.
Which is really fun.
You do throw [F] yourself into _ the occasional feedback conundrum.
But if you've got_
Yeah, if it's on a strap, you can kind of_ _
I've [G#m] never, ever done that.
And that's a nice sound back there.
Yeah, no, it's really_
The other thing is the _ [E] _ amount of your body that's touching the guitar.
Yes.
So [F#] if it's there, that's going to be quite tight.
If you suddenly tilt the whole thing so you're only touching a little bit of the side,
_ then it's _ _ massively more open.
And then you can_
[N] The tricky bit is you have to tap underneath.
_ [F#] And it's quite hard to see what you're doing.
But you can do it with bassline. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You can [G] really_
Yeah, that's [E] lovely.
It's really fun.
I never even thought of that.
[D#] And that sounds wonderful.
Yeah, it's [C] really _ open.
And then snares.
_ [D#] _ _ _
Classic one there.
_ [F#] Inside one for when [C#m] this hand's busy.
But my favourite [F] one is this lower one there.
It's so fun.
_ It's really kind _ of_
[Em] It's got a real hip-hop-y vibe.
It's [B] really tight there. _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] It's just _ really_
It [C#m] really _ _ goes_
How you going, V? _ _ _ _
[C] It's beautiful.
Yeah, [C#] it's just really kind of_
Yeah, it's got that kind [A#] of_
It's almost like [G] those little_
Are they piccolos?
[C#m] _ _
_ Tiny sort of things.
The tiny little hip-hop ones.
It's got kind of that vibe.
[G#m] Fantastic.
It's really kind of [C#m] boingy. _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] Yeah, with all the body stuff, it's definitely_
It's technique over power in terms of kind of_ _
Because there's this sort of ring-ish-ness in there.
Yeah, [G] that's just one _ finger.
And if you get it just right, it really pings.
And people are like, have you got a metal ring on?
Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ Yeah, it's just_
I'm just trying to think how much of my [E] finger I'm going to need.
