The phrase ‘diatonic dissonance’ might be intimidating, but it’s a common sound in 1970s progressive rock. Characterized by a tension between notes, dissonance sounds particularly ‘other worldly’ when played on a 12-string guitar, as Elixir Strings artist Shawn Persinger demonstrates here.

Playing chord progressions reminiscent of prog rock giants Rush, ELP and Genesis, Shawn places the diatonic dissonance in context, making it a breeze to understand. It’s a complex, beautiful sound that’s immediately evocative of some of the biggest bands of the era!
