On the song “Surge Of Pity” I wanted to make a song that combines the ethereal chords of a ballad mixed with melodic lines and some cool riffs with major minor, 7, sus 2 approach to them so they fit the overall vibe of that particular song.
It’s one of my favorite Nightrage songs and I’m using again wide vibrato on the way that I’m playing all the melodies and that makes the song a bit more rocky and interesting.
Make sure you are using alternate picking when you play the arpegiated clean chords, (down-up picking) so you have a flow and also you can play the chords at a much faster speed without picking problems.
Check also the harmonization in thirds on the clean chords and on the verses and see how they fit together and build a nice feel, complement each other.
Thanks again to the amazing people at Seymour Duncan Pickups for the Gus G Fire Blackouts System, they rock big time.
