Foo Fighters | Everlong (multitrack)

ADVERTISEMENT

This multitrack breaks down Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” into its parts. Written by Dave Grohl and released on The Colour and the Shape (1997), it’s the band’s signature song, and Grohl played the drums on the album version himself.

VOCAL/DRUMS (Dave Grohl):

What to listen for

  • Drop-D guitar voicing. The main guitar part uses drop-D tuning and a ringing chord shape that gives the song its droning, open sound.
  • Grohl’s drumming. The fast, driving drum part is Grohl, the former Nirvana drummer, and the drums-only section shows how much power he puts behind it.
  • Layered vocals in the bridge. The quiet bridge stacks several whispered and spoken vocal layers that are hard to separate in the full mix.
