01 Always Will Be
Dan Nettles: Guitar
Rick Lollar: “Rhythm” guitar
Robby Handley: Bass
Marlon Patton: Drums
Built from the sequence:
1, up a 7th, down a 3rd, down a 2nd.
Composition:
This song is wrapped around two elements:
- the perennially favorite chord among guitarists, F#7(add 4) *see also “Country Doctor(2005)” and “Wallpaper” (2009).
- a melodic sequence: 1, up a 7th, down a 3rd, and down a 2nd.
As you might imagine, the “ah-chunk, ah-chunk, ah-chunk, ah-chunk, ah-chunk” rhythmic figure was where I began. As an experiment, I tried to keep most of the chord and move the bass thru the sequence. This generated the 4 bar vamp figure. Meanwhile, I expanded the sequence thru the F# mixolydian scale in mostly 8th notes, which with a few small alterations became the faster melody heard before the bridge. It was appealing both in the melodic shape and that the 3 note sequence was wrapped thru the bars as eighth notes. Stepping back, after all this, I had merely 8 bars of melody [called “Melody”], so I decided to stretch it out into 2 lines: one the moves every 8 beats [“8 Line”], and another that moves every 4 beats [“4 Line”]. Although expanded, the last note of all three melodies remains the same, so I placed the ending of all the lines at the same moment. A layered entrance was created… “8 Line” enters, “4 Line” enters 16 bars later, and finally the “Melody” enters last on top of all this. It is like a high speed echo that ends at the same moment, which is the… Bridge: This 3 chord section is repeated twice and followed by a drum break, and is built by expressing the melodic sequence as a chord. 1, up a 7th, down a 3rd, and down a 2nd becomes a voicing that is basically 1 7 5 4 (aka the vamp’s bass motion), which in the key of B becomes Ema7(#11) Bma7(9, b7) and G#-7(#4).

The melodies are haunting, the grooves are devastating, and for nearly two decades the band expertly serves jazz purists,
indie-rock hipsters, and funk loving jam fans alike.
