Snail Mail- Speaking Terms Tutorial

so at the part when I say “down, down, up, down, /UP/“ and my hand clearly does a downstroke, don’t listen to me I made a goof. My hands are correct

These Snail Mail tutorials are gold dust. Thanks so much for posting them, and getting me back into Open D (and variations thereof) tuning!

Lush is still one of my favourite albums. As I experience more things in life. I relate to her more. This song was me and the guy I like, who is also my best friend and fwb.

[@NorCalProf1]

Won't say my age but I could be your granddad Brandon. Been in cover bands and a hobby player my whole life. I was so taken by Lindsey's guitar tone and unusual and mysterious tuning but was stumped trying to figure it out. You have opened the door for me. Curious how you got it, besides attending multiple shows up front like I used to do. Thank you so much!

[@Spitehound]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words. 2 things. One, I have the benefit of this being the 10th or so song I’ve learned by her so I have a bit of a head start when it comes to figuring out the way she might put things together. Secondly, you hit the nail on the head. Multiple shows in the front row as well as the blessing of others taking videos from their own front row spots which have the added benefit of pausing, slowing down, and rewinding. Thanks for stopping by, Steve :)

Awesome man! I have found all your snail mail tutorials really helpful. Cheers!
Could you do one for Golden Dream at some point?

[@Spitehound]

The plan is to get the whole album done at some point

[@evanwatts7326]

Wishing I could find your guitar strap. Awesome tutorial as always, thank you!

[@Spitehound]

Thanks! It’s a Souldier strap I customized to look just like a strap that Father John Misty has. If you mess around with the patterns and colors enough you should be able to get It www.souldier.us

i love you

[@dankirkland1602]

This song separates "almost" perfectly when I ran it through the Moises app. I use the free version so there is a limit i think per month. As close to unmixing as you can get with pitch and tempo.

[@wilydingus]

Sweet vid thanks! coverin it with mah band. Maybe just play the whole thing at the start? It helps to be able to reference. Like your voice too

[@Spitehound]

Thanks! I would never do that though because then people who don’t care ab it would have to sit through that whole thing or try to skip to where the tutorial actually starts. Plus I have covers of everything on the channel anyway

[@huwag9765]

Can you do Forth Wonderers song? Like slop

[@justinalimayato2823]

Brandon ur like a male version of lindsey. U are a male snail 🙌

[@loganj4108]

New guitar player, not quite understanding the tuning process for this, I started at the standard eadgbe, do I tune down to D and then place the capo? Or do I tune after the capo?

[@Spitehound]

The notes I say are the notes before the capo is placed :)

[@davidtejerinn.a]

god

[@davidtejerinn.a]

godd

[@Trollerx1]

im confuseed about the tuning with capo off it should go DADGAE? or with the capo on?

[@Spitehound]

Those are what the notes would be with no capo

[@lilianalmeida3965]

Which pedals do you use?

[@Spitehound]

Almost nothing on this song, just a little bit of compression with an EQD warden

[@skii1410]

is there somewhere you have your whole set up listed?

[@Spitehound]

No, but I’m happy to answer any gear questions you have

[@skii1410]

@@Spitehound i would just like to know what kind of guitar and amp you use like brand and all if you remember? thanks!

[@Spitehound]

@@skii1410 I use a fender standard telecaster and a roland JC40 amp & some pedals

[@MocoPuffs]

When you tune down, do you do it with the capo on?
