20 Killer Hurts by Gene Loves Jezebel I wanna make a couple of points about playing guitar on this song. First of all you need to get a BIG sound in order for this to work. By BIG I mean lots of DIGITAL DELAY and lots of OVERDRIVE. Secondly, because this is a multitracked recording you are gonna need to make adjustments to play this in a live setting. The first verse in particular is shown as a series of single notes but should be played with a slightly muted feel. You could also add extra notes on adjacent strings by BARRING the 10th fret in order to fatten up the sound a bit. Like any good recipe, "add to taste".
