How to play "Kiss Of Death" by Ernest on guitar
This track employs a haunting mix of minor and major chords, creating
an intense and evocative atmosphere. The use of Am, C, F, and G shapes
the song's dark and dramatic theme.
Chords used: Am, C, F, Am7, G
Playing Style:
- Start with a moody, arpeggiated intro using Am, C, F, and C. This sets
the tone, enhancing the song's brooding and introspective feel.
- In the verses, continue with a smooth and controlled strumming pattern,
allowing each chord to resonate, which underscores the dark lyrical
content.
Common Mistakes:
- Not maintaining the mood and atmosphere by strumming too aggressively.
Keep your strumming subdued and atmospheric to match the tone of the
song.
- Inaccurate transitions between Am and C to F. These are critical in
maintaining the melodic flow and should be practiced to ensure they
are smooth and precise.
Transitions:
- The shift from the verse to the chorus involves a dynamic increase.
Here, strum more forcefully to bring out the emotional intensity of
the chorus, reflecting the theme of fatal attraction and dark romance.
Lyrics meaning:
"Kiss of Death" metaphorically explores themes of dangerous allure and
fatal attraction, using vivid imagery of dancing with the devil and
an angel in a fiery dress. The song delves into the paradox of being
drawn irresistibly to something known to be harmful.
Remember:
- Ensure your guitar's tuning is precise, especially when using a capo,
to keep the chords sounding clear and accurate.
- Let the emotion of the song guide your playing style; adjust your
dynamics to align with the narrative's ebb and flow, which will enhance
the storytelling impact and the audience's connection.
