Synthesize Her (Verse)
🕑 Added 2019-09-26 15:47:33 +0000 UTCHere's a guitar part that delivers some serious spank. If you haven't seen the Chorus TAB for this tune, scroll down a few posts and check it out!
Pro Tips:
- The easy thing here is that literally every chord is played by your first finger, which barres the same fret on the top 3 strings.
- You'll see that my other 3 fingers rest on the lower strings to mute them. This way they don't accidentally ring out. Because of this, you'll see my right hand will often strum all 6 strings, but you only hear the good stuff. This helps hit the strings harder and get more SPANK out of it.
- These chords hit on the 2 and the 4. Any of you rhythm-wizards out there might know that this is traditionally where the snare drum hits. The guitar locking in with the drums like this create a punchy 'n' tight sound.
Fun Facts:
- This part has a Police vibe going on - listen to Roxanne and you'll hear the similarities. You might remember from a few weeks ago that this is also the case for the chorus. This Andy Summers vibe is all over the guitar work in this song. My good friend Doctor Sung has been famously known to say 'vibe or die', and I feel like this song is no exception to the approach.
- I'm a stratocaster man, but most of the TTT album was recorded with a telecaster. Again, all about that vibe. It just felt right. That's a bonus tone-tip for ya.
TAB is attached as a PDF and a Guitar Pro file. Keep rocking my sweet little tup-tups!

You guys are beyond amazing in concert. I will definitely see you guys again when your in San Diego again.
Great question! I'd say go with whichever makes you feel inspired. If you prefer the sound of electric, do that. Or if you're more into acoustic music then play an acoustic. You can't go wrong either way!
Thanks Dezzi! You rock!
Over time my plan is to cover the whole song, yes!
We had a hoot! See you in Phoenix!
Hey Phobes, would you recommend an acoustic or an electric for practising on guitar? (was weighing up between but whom better to ask than the master himself)
(Same!) X3

I cant wait to see you in concert next week!! I never noticed the Roxanne vibe before but I totally hear that energy now that you mention it! No WONDER I like this song! Ive always said its the most PERFECT song you guys ever wrote
Join Patreon just for lord Phobos. Been enjoying ever lesson so far. Can’t wait to see guys when your in town.

Sounds nice through my Marauder. Very nice thank you as always for the lessons!
Will you be doing the guitar riff from the synth solo?

I can't help but bop my head to this beat when I listen to the song.
It's all pretty much the same! The Suhr is just a really good sounding strat that plays like butter 👌
Thanks as always! If you're a strat man, what do you like about the Suhr as opposed to strats themselves?

I totally hear the Police energy in this one! :) Neat sound! Grand Junction got a little wild, didn’t it? 😂 Amazing show though! Even by TWRP’s already very very high baseline for amazing shows. See you in Phoenix!
