Elvis Costello & the Attractions- Oliver's Army - Cover - Noir Series

Oliver's Army! Class Elvis Costello & the Attractions.This song is from the third studio album Armed Forces in 1979. Musically, the song features a great production and a keyboard performance inspired by ABBA apparently. Still, Elvis is fine form here pulling off a song that could easily be off an "Help!" era Beatles album. His two-part harmony is right out of the Beatles catalogue. I love singing either part. These videos serve as lessons on how I play this bunch of Pop, Rock, and Reggae songs - sometimes as a single guitarist playing the only guitar part, though that's rare. And sometimes if there is more than one guitar part, then trying to find the single good path through the tune. I complete one pass, demonstrating different Rhythm parts, styles, and techniques. There is no talking. No discussion. No note-for-note explanations. As such, for clarity, my guitar is supposed to be louder in the mix than it would ever be in a live setting. But, if you really want to hear what I hear, do what I do and put on a good pair headphones with great bass response! It's worth it. Why this is important to Rhythm Guitar: Well, there isn't much in the original mix. This song really focuses on the Keyboards and Bass. Elvis plays all over this song live, but this is pretty much precisely what you should play, I think. Mostly chords ringing out, and a bit of Rhythm on the pre-Chorus. That seems like just enough to me. #echohead #rhythmguitar #powerpop
