THE SINGER-SONGWRITER EXPLORES MIND-BENDING TONES AND RHYTHMS ON HER LATEST ALBUM, REVEALER
EARNING GRAMMY NOMINATIONS for her 2019 debut, Who Are You Now, and its 2020 follow-up EP, Wednesday, has done nothing to deter Madison Cunningham from her path of creating adventurous, fractured, guitar-driven pop songs. And her new album, Revealer, contains some of the most fearless guitar playing and tones you'll hear today.
Combining the polyrhythmic tendencies of Radiohead and Fiona Apple with the melodic instincts of Jeff Buckley and Aimee Mann, Cunningham's music is often a dance between her divergent guitar and vocal lines. That marriage is no accident, as she explains.

HOW TO PLAY THIS MONTH'S SONGS
RELEASED AS A single, ahead of Shinedown's upcoming eighth studio album, this simple, well-crafted song, which was no doubt at least partially inspired by Def Leppard's “Hysteria” and U2's “With or Without You,” has guitarist Zach Myers flatpicking eighth notes with a clean bridge-pickup tone, laying down a repeating eight-bar pattern of ringing chordal arpeggios that share three common tones, with only the bass note changing every two bars.
