“Kick Me And Cancel” is yet another great example of the Robert Pollard guitar technique I call “Open String Drone.” This technique consists of playing a melody on one guitar string while also playing an adjacent open string. In the case of this song, the melody is played on the third string with the fourth string ringing open along with it. He uses this technique on several songs on From A Compound Eye, as I mentioned in the post for “Hammer In Your Eyes.”
