Thrillers rely on certain archetypes and our familiarity with them is quietly driving all of the tension. So it becomes an interesting challenge from the score perspective, to enhance that tension without being noticed, just like those archetypes.
I have to say, I do love the Ovation guitars. If I had one guitar to play, it would be that one, and it’s got nothing to do with having my name on it. I absolutely rely on it.
