Jangling Second Guitar

Upbeat, guitar-driven late-1980s college rock. The arrangement must be built around bright, jangling electric guitars playing distinct rhythm and melodic parts. Include a recognizable electric guitar hook, melodic bass guitar, and a lively acoustic-style drum kit. Start with an instrumental guitar introduction before the vocals begin. Use one male lead singer throughout. The verses should be conversational and melodic, but this must NOT be a call-and-response song. No answering voices, theatrical character dialogue, spoken-word sections, or group vocals. The chorus should have a strong, memorable melody, with occasional subtle backing harmonies. Warm, organic live-band production, catchy chord progressions, and a slightly quirky but sincere alternative-rock feel. Guitars should be prominent and clearly audible throughout. No synth-led arrangement, novelty-song sound, or a cappella passages.
