The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 254

you live near LA you get most supercool exclusive things haha

 

I wish he would record that I'm With You cover

 

since the guy from bwb is on tour this summer i wonder who is playing with them for the shows they have

 

Remember when Goodness first came out and everyone thought the snare was too loud? And for a minute everyone was worried about the mix like when they dropped Piano Player. the mixing in this record is perfect though, in hindsight.

 

Ha yea I know, snare is still a bit loud in that song but it really drives the rhythm

 

I don't know if this was posted before but it's quality live footage of them.

Still listen to all their albums quite often.

 

hey european friends, go to this

 

can't. because apparently Ireland is not in europe and the uk is.

 

does anyone know what tuning they play Two Deliverances in?

 

I've tried figuring this out by ear before and about pulled my hair out.

 

It's weird because I know they play FACGCE but a half step down a lot. That's what like Settle the Scar and Opening Mail is in. Sometimes they play Dendron in it (or maybe even all the time). Then I know half step down and maybe open D. I know Two Deliverances isn't in a standard tuning because when I play it half step down I'm playing like a Emaj-A-B-Cmin chord progression. And when they play it live I think Chris has like a capo on second and what he is playing looks like less "chordy" finger placement wise if you know what I mean.

 

Yeah, I tried watching live videos and got even more confused. I feel like I was very close to getting it, but too impatient to keep twisting the tuning pegs.

 

lol it sounds like it should be real easy to figure out but I can't place it either. I havn't tried too hard but its definitely a little strange.

 

But whatever it is, they use it for more than just Two Deliverances right? I can't remember a tuning break before and after Two Deliverances

 

I'll be super busy so I wanted to post tonight.

Happy one year anniversary to an incredible record. I enjoyed sharing this record with this thread so much last year!

 

Have you not enjoyed sharing it with us this year?

Jk, record is great

 

Snagged this on vinyl today had no idea it was almost 1 year old! Damn I was slacking!!!

 

Super random. Listened to this twice on vinyl after work.

Wasn't sure why I was in the mood. Maybe the 1 yr anniversary explains it. Ha

 

I hope the Hotelier keep making music for a long time

 

Does anyone know if Christian or Toby Foster is headlining this solo tour? Tryna see if I can dip out and make it to see Girlpool too.

 

these are like little diy shows so like there might even be dates where none of them go on "last", order probably dependent on show, though i would expect christian to go last at most

 

Yeah, I figured. But the venue has Toby listed at the top of the bill so idk really. Super stoked for it regardless.

 

a lot of the tuning is just half step down. I can play most of the home.

 

Horseshoe shows always go super late , so I think it's totally doable to do both shows that night.

 

A lot of it yes, but they also use other alternate tunings pretty often
