    Ep162 Knights of Cydonia - How Does This Song Work?
    May 21 2024

    "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse is an epic rock anthem that blends various musical influences to create a unique and powerful listening experience. The song stands out for its grandiose and cinematic feel, drawing inspiration from progressive rock, space rock, and spaghetti westerns. In Episode 162 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I break the music down and explain how its puzzling chord changes follow a logical pattern.

Best Guitar Theory podcast

The material in these podcasts is relevant to guitar players of all levels. Theory combined with songs is the best way to learn music and Desi does that with great clarity.

Cheap Ibenze Too upgraded main guitar.

Like the narrator comment you can take a two hundred and when you get the money replace the stock tunners with locking ones, and replace the bridge pickup. I also sent two days setting it pickup a set of diamond covered files and really spent time beveling, triming, and taking the edges off the frets to make it like an instrument which had money spent on it.
