The phrase ‘diatonic harshness’ may be frightening, but it’s a typical noise in 1970s progressive rock.

Shawn plays Elixir Acoustic and Electric Strings for their long tone life, smooth feel and tuning stability. Check them out: https://www.elixirstrings.com/products

Playing chord developments similar to prog rock giants Hurry, ELP and Genesis, Shawn places the diatonic harshness in context, making it a breeze to understand. It’s a complex, lovely sound that’s right away expressive of a few of the biggest bands of the period!
