I'm A Scorpion In The Night
By: 18 Hertz (Darrell Gilliard)
This song is played with some ride cybal crashes
morocca's and the rhythm guitar going from Am to F.
Listen to the song on Garageband.com under band name
18 Hertz and you will get a feel for the strumming
patterns and the weirdness of the songs feel.
This song uses a dreamy shimmer guitar effect.
