- I played a song of my own called "Chemicals,"
and I did it sort of acoustically,
which is a first for me, actually,
'cause it's sort of a, I guess,
an electronic disco song of sorts.
So it was kind of interesting to approach it
from a different perspective.
Honestly, it's just a case
of simplifying it and identifying, you know,
what the kind of key parts of the song are, in this case,
the chords and the rhythm in which the chords are played.
And then it's just a lead vocal,
which is slightly different in an acoustic context
to a kind of an affected electronic vocal, as such.
But it was fun to kind of strip it back,
and present it in a different light.
I was a bit of a shy kid, and a bit socially awkward,
so the guitar, for me,
was kind of this opportunity to make friends as a kid,
or try and impress people.
And it was like a massive confidence, because as a kid,
just being able to show a bunch of other kids like,
oh, here's this thing that I learned.
I mean, it's all I used to do,
was just to sit in my bedroom and just play guitar.
Obviously, I'm a producer first and foremost now,
and I think that the guitar is,
it's another palette in like a sort of instruments
that you can use to paint a picture,
with the picture being the overall sound.
But a song can really be carried on guitar alone.
It's just one of the most important
and valuable paint brushes that I think you can pick up,
and choose to paint that picture with.
