About Twenties

Few songs on IMPERA hit as bluntly as "Twenties," and that bluntness is exactly what makes it a useful learning piece. The main riff is chunky and mid-tempo, built on a repeating power-chord figure with a groove that sits comfortably in the pocket rather than charging forward. Getting that locked-in feel right is the real challenge: the tendency is to rush it, so use the Practice Toolbar to loop the riff slowed down until your right hand is completely relaxed and even. Ghost layer the arrangement with a clean melodic counterline that weaves over the heavy rhythm, so you will want to work both parts separately before combining them. The verse and chorus sit in a similar rhythmic space, which means nailing the riff essentially teaches you most of the song. If you enjoy the strutting, syncopated feel of Hard Rock rhythm playing, this track is a satisfying one to get tight.

  • The signature riff relies on a tight, repeated power-chord groove, so focusing on right-hand consistency and muting control will get you the most mileage.
  • A clean melodic lead line runs alongside the heavy rhythm parts, making the song a good exercise in switching between rhythm and lead roles.
  • Looping the main riff at reduced speed with the Practice Toolbar helps lock in the syncopated feel before bringing it up to full tempo.

This amp delivers Ghost's signature mid-heavy crunch at moderate gain levels, staying clear and tight during palm muting without descending into saturated distortion. The Dual Rectifier's natural breakup at 5-6 gain is perfect for their contrast between clean and driven passages.

Ghost's ESP guitars benefit from the JB's aggressive high-end bite and punchy output, cutting through the mix during heavier sections. This combination bridges the gap between their clean arpeggios and crunchy, riff-driven moments with powerful definition.
