I think for classical guitar it would be great if they would use the lute TAB system and include fingerings. Of course lute TAB uses letters instead of numbers so you can still include numbered fingerings. One thing that's good about standard notation though is the ability to read fingerings, TAB doesn't provide that and that is definitely a flaw in the system. Also, music for guitar is transposed one octave higher for convenience sake but still, you're not playing the actual notes in represented in pitch, anyway. For example, when reading sheet music for guitar, many notes can be played in more then one spot and that makes reading music for guitar not what I would call intuitive. In someways TAB it has it's sensibilities. I don't look at it as cheating, anymore, I used to before I got into playing lute and realized that TAB isn't a new thing invented for rock guitarists who can't read music. The new record will follow up 2015's "Into The Wild Life", which was criticized by some fans for veering too far into pop music territory.TAB has been used for a long time, Dowland, Weiss, etc. It's like total balls to the wall, but lyrically, it's been a little weird and that's my fault." Musically, it's kinda been a long journey to the beginning, so we're kinda going back to our total roots. ![]() Hale revealed: "You have no idea the weird songs I've been writing, subject matter and musically. Lzzy Hale recently told Swedish outlet RockSverige that HALESTORM is continuing to write material for its next album, tentatively due next year. It's, like, 'Oh, this guy did these chords,' or, 'This guy played this kind of groove.' 'I bet I can do that in an original song.' So, yeah, it's kind of like training." And it kind of makes you think differently. I always say the best way to really get good and learn how to develop your own style is to learn the styles of other people and learn other songs that you like or that challenge you. And I always recommend that for newer artists, younger artists that wanna learn how to play drums or guitar. We used to do three- or four-hour shows with covers and originals. For example, that album certainly influenced a lot of songs and ideas and gears on our newest album."Īdded drummer Arejay Hale: "When we did 'Slave To The Grind', we were, like, 'Oh, man! We need a song like this.' And then we wrote 'Love Bites', which is pretty much just off the feel of 'Slave To The Grind'. And it really influences us in a lot of ways. Where you have to deconstruct a song - a legendary song, essentially - you deconstruct it, and then rebuild it to how it works for us. He explained: "What's really cool is that when we do pick these songs, they really do influence us, because it's Songwriting and Performing 101. Really, that has been the template."Īccording to Josh, there is at least one added benefit to covering other people's songs when it comes to HALESTORM working on original material. He continued: "Now, after the first one, we sort of followed a similar formula with the second one in that it's very generational - we have a song from '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, a contemporary pop song… So that was a nice way to pick our songs. And then we record 'em and see what works and see what we like." So it literally starts out with e-mails of lists and lists, and somehow, over months, we kind of whittle down our list until we get to a short list of maybe ten songs or less. Speaking about how HALESTORM goes about picking which songs to record for series of covers EPs, bassist Josh Smith told : "We start out with basically everyone… Our team… Oh my God! My dad finds out that we're doing a cover album, all I get is texts: 'Oh, you should do this.' But anyone… anyone who finds out we're doing a covers album, all of a sudden you're just getting this crazy list. ![]() ![]() "ReAniMate 3.0: The CoVeRs eP" follows HALESTORM's previous covers EPs, 2011's "ReAniMate" and 2013's "ReAniMate 2.0".
