NewJeans is my new favorite group(and I don't really listen to kpop), they use some jazzy chord progressions all over their song, which is really cool in modern pop music. And Issues is my favorite band of all time(you can tell by the name of the channel), they also use lots of cool chord progression, so I wrote some riff over How Sweet by NewJeans. I think I did a great job mimic AJ's style, but can be better haha. The lighting sucks btw.

It’s been a long time since I did the last cover! This is actually recorded half a year ago, but haven’t had the time to film the playthrough and mix it. I’m planning to cover the whole “Riot” album and the next one is gonna be “For a Pessimist…”. And after finish the album I’ll probably cover the whole “feel something” by movements. These two are some of my favorite albums. Some fun fact about this song: 1. Josh Farro loves octave pedal. The lead in the intro is actually created using an octave pedal(check out the live video of them playing this song). So does the intro in “For a pessimist…” and the solo is the beloved “Misery Business” 2. In the main riff, the left and right rhythm are actually playing different chord. In the break of the first verse, I’m playing the right side, the more simple chord; in the break between first chorus and second verse, I’m playing the left side, the intricate chord

Issues is my fav band and you can probably tell that by the name of the channel. I notice AJ's writing style on Beautiful Oblivion era, when using 8 strings, he tend to write more single note, groove based riff instead of chord oriented riff like on 6 string. Unfortunately I don't have a baritone. And I know it sounds like Tapping Out haha
