The amazing Suzuki Omnichord, a form of electric autoharp, has taken popular music by storm. Everyone from Bob Dylan to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have got their hands on one. With a learning curve of around 5 minutes, you too can become the next aspiring omnichord musician! Here is a list of just some of the great omnichord songs to get you inspired.
1. Jenny Lewis – You Are What You Love (featured on 2ser 107.3)
2. My Morning Jacket – Anytime (Live Version) (featured on 2ser 107.3)
3. Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood
Not the most obvious use of the omnichord, but the entire backing track to the song samples a preset rhythm loop found in the omnichord.
4. sELF - Black In Back (AC/DC Cover)
Drums and omnichord at the same time? Whatevs?
