This time I’ve covered a more contemporary tune. "Cool Kids" is the debut single song by American pop rock band Echosmith, from their 2013 debut studio album, “Talking Dreams”. The song subsequently became a hit.
For this cover, I watched the lesson by Echosmith's guitarist Jamie Sierota. I have no tabs.
I recorded the muted guitar as in the original recording, panning the guitar lines alternatively left to right, which creates an interesting effect. I used an opto tremolo effect for the main riff, and amp modeling, basing the electric guitar sound in Vox AC 30 amp.
There's a cut in the original video, because the album version is slightly longer than the single version.
Tunings:
- Standard tuning for the acoustic guitar, with Capo on First fret.
- Drop D tuning (D A D G B E) for electric guitars, with Capo on First fret.
Gear:
-Epi Les Paul 1960 Tribute Plus, with Gibson USA ’57 Classic Pickups.
-Yamaha APX 500 III Vintage Sunburst Acoustic Guitar.
- Digitech RP 360 Effects Processor.
I don’t own the rights to this song. I will remove it immediately under request of the rights’ owners. If you like the song, please go and support the original artist!
