In the very beginning of sound I hear piano and hi hat probably, but there is still a 3rd humming kind of sound which follows the chords I think what is it? I'm trying to make cover for the song and I need to know what kind of instrument it is, or atleast I need to know how to and where to look if I want to understand about various instrument sounds in music I hear. Because I cannot recognise instruments many times.

I'm new for this site, apologies if I have framed my question poorly. :)

I play guitar and classical piano but am very new to digital piano and yet can't recognise if this sound was actually made using synthetic piano.

  • @Dom Oh, cool. I thought they were just being more sharply restricted.

    It's a fine question, it's just that Stack Overflow isn't the place for it. I'd suggest asking in other music-oriented communities (Reddit? Maybe real-life friends?). Meanwhile, 1) Don't worry, as you get more experience you'll get better at analyzing what you hear, and 2) As DataProcessing mentions, a cover doesn't have to be exactly the same as the original. If you want to include these sounds in your version, try various instruments and see what you think sounds good. Dec 16, 2021 at 18:16

Electric guitar, but you don't need to precisely copy the original arrangement in order to do a cover. Some of the best known cover songs don't try to stick close to what the original artist did. Of course if you're new and just trying to learn music arrangement and pop song construction, then it can be very instructive to figure out what all the parts are and what they're doing. But eventually you'll want to do it your own way.

  • I believe the OP refers to that "humming" as the "wobbling" sound other than the guitar. It might be a guitar effect, but it's probably a synth with an LFO linked to the volume. Dec 17, 2021 at 13:34
