[D] _ [N] Hi, I'm Brendan Urie and _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ It's fun to be talented
_ [N] I was writing for gospel
_ Honestly the first thing that came about was I was messing with this synthesizer vocoder that's
in the program that I was writing and
A friend had given me this synthesizer.
It's called like Evo
Harmonizer or something like that and
The fun part is like you can sit there for hours and just mess around with it because you get lost in it
You know like when you [C] pick up a microphone and you hear yourself over a PA [B] you could sit there and just hear yourself
Talk for hours because you just sound glorified.
That's really what how it is
so when I I just had the headphones on and this vocoders going off and I put it in the key of
D major and I was just
Messing around with it just like singing.
Oh like around the chord and I just love the way it sounded
You know, I was [N] like having a choir behind you
So I had a couple lyrics that I had written down
_ And I just started singing it and it started from the vocoder effect and then I started playing guitar to it
And a lot of the songs like for every song I write it's pretty rhythm based like the beat has to be
It's a very specific thing in mind
So I had the rhythm down so I just started playing live drums to it put samples to it
But it all started from that vocoder effect, which was kind of cool.
I never done

[B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [N] I was growing up we always had instruments in the house my dad played guitar
Since he was in high school.
He was in bands in high school
So he always had this 12 string and that the 12 strings are really hard he had this beautiful
Torsion, but it you know, I was the first one I tried to learn on _
And that was pretty tough, I don't know why I started doing that I think just because I saw my dad playing it
I was like, oh I can play that so I just kind of picked it up and started plucking stuff
You know, you learn like power chords first by watching, you know bands like Blink-182
Who are terrible musicians, but you know great songwriters funny guys
So you just you learn by watching them you like oh I can do that
I just put my [E] fingers and slide up and down the guitar
which is [B] really how most songs are written that I really love keep it simple and
Yeah, I think I started playing guitar when I was like 10 and I got my first baby acoustic I was like 11
It was [G#] like one of those, you know first at Walmart [C] kind of guitars.
I
Love it so much on the [N] cardboard case.
It came and I love touch and die
Anybody touch my sweet little baby?
Yeah, I played that [E] forever.
I just I don't know I watched other people
I never became like a master [C] shredder, but I definitely
Admired, you know all the guitar players that could excel so quickly at it [N] started playing bass
I never really started playing bass per se.
It was just like if you play guitar you can play bass
Just do less strings
_ The
Only challenge was I have very small hands
So playing bass bass is huge.
So that was a kind of challenge, but no, I mean scales wise it was pretty pretty easy to learn _ _ _
Honestly, I think if you if you want to start playing an instrument base is a really good place to start
It's pretty simple as a spaz for drums
It was kind of a perfect marriage of an instrument and a person
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [D#] _ _ The story behind [B] me playing drums was I almost quit band I joined jazz band in [C#] sixth grade
I started playing trumpet and then I got braces halfway through sixth grade and
_ That just put a dead stop to my trumpet career because I hated putting the wax on and I couldn't you know
Get [D] my lips to make the formations to make the notes
So, you know, that was my excuse and I didn't I didn't want [N] to keep going
I was really frustrated at learning it.
I mean I could play it but not _
Amazingly so I I told my band teacher I was gonna quit and he said, please don't quit, you know
Just give me a second.
I have to make a call.
I'll come back out and talk about it
[B] And it was this was at the end of class
It gives us like 10 minutes everybody just kind of mess around and jam a little bit
So all the drummers were playing on the drum set and I asked one of my buddies if I could play and we all just
Started jamming and [N] I started playing and then the teacher mr.
Mata poked his head out
And like was still on the phone was like I gotta go and then put the phone down and then he came over
He's like so you're gonna play drums now
and then I tried out for
Seventh grade jazz band and only four or three drummers made it and I remember I beat out one of the eighth graders and he hated before it
So I got constantly beat up for it, but I never quit drums
That just made me want to get better at it
So that was like my first real instrument that I fell in love with and like I just wanted to master it
I wanted to be so good at it and I really just had a good time doing it
I would [B] play like six seven hours a day, you know surprised my parents were able to put up with it
I [N] was seriously playing all day crazy
