![]() So everyone has four or five songs that are possibilities and then those just keep getting narrowed down. SG: I think everyone has 10 each, and there are probably four or five of them that get demoed up. It has this sort of swampy feel and I particularly like the intro, I really like that sort of twangy, pull-off sort of thing that you can’t really figure out.ĪVC: So how does the songwriting process work nowadays? You mentioned a song that Jeff brought that didn’t end up getting used-does everyone bring a chunk of songs and you whittle it down? So, that’s Jeff Ament’s tuning, he came up with that. So I learned how to play his song and my guitar was sitting around in that tuning, and a couple days later I just picked it up and started playing “Let The Records Play,” and I was like, “Jeff, I stole your tuning!” So it ended up working out. ![]() At first he said, “Oh, it’s just a drop-D tuning,” so I went home and tried playing it for ages and was like, “How does he play it? I don’t understand.” And then two days later, he’s like, “It’s this tuning” and he showed me, and all the strings were totally different than I had originally thought. ![]() That song’s funny, because the backstory is that Jeff Ament wrote another song for the record-Jeff wrote a lot on this record-but he wrote this song and had this tuning. It serves a good purpose on the record, and it’s refreshing a little bit. It’s not my favorite song on the record I like it a lot and I’m glad it’s on there. Well, I think that song’s good, but I don’t think it’s a standout. I wanted to stick with your songs for this interview. ![]() Did you know I wrote that one?ĪVC: I did. Stone Gossard: It’s funny that you picked that one. ![]()
