Cake "The Distance" guitar lesson. The next Riff of the Day uses a Mad Professor Sweet Honey overdrive and a Fender DRRi amp without reverb to achieve a powerful, low gain tone. The Distance takes a unique approach at doesn't use a single bar chord but relies on two note harmonies or dyads. The trumpet harmony is also included in case your band doesn't have one! The chorus could've been a lost Black Sabbath riff with its low E chugging and pulloffs and the string dampening in between strokes really helps to lock with the tight rhythm section. This song is proof that you don't necessarily need a lot of saturation to achieve a heavy guitar sound. Enjoy your Riff of the Day guitar lesson!

Good video clarity, but a little bit of verbal would be great to be able to break it down better.

So, this is the question that's been killing me. If you listen to any cake record, you can hear what appears to be a fairly distorted acoustic. HOW?! I LOVE THAT SOUND!!

I've always thought CAKE's guitar work was fantastic. Anyone know of any good tutorials for Rock 'n Roll Lifestyle? That song has a ridiculous riff.
