@stephenw9573 8 жыл бұрын

I took pictures before both concerts, and Demarco actually puts in a lot of time to get that "easy going" sort of warped in cough syrup sound. I also could make a list about Jack white just as easily.... 1. Beat up, cheap guitar from the 60's. 2. Incredibly expensive octave pedals. 3. Have knowledge of a one chord to a four to a five
