What do you call a sound that drags on a little, such as the strum of an acoustic guitar string?

Uh, drone? Half note? Whole note?

Like, drone?

JGuy Grungeman · 06-16-2016, 04:11 PM

I mean, as the sound fads away after a short time?

Like the guitar in the intro to this.

How each strum drags on very very shortly, quickly fading way. Most of the insrtuments tend to use that sound in most of the alkternative rock I've heard. But there's also the tone, a somewhat controlled emotional tone, as if the emotion was more of a musical insturment rather than something used to relate to the audience (not that it doesn't).

I don't think I'll ever understand your method of genre classification. We're classifying bands off of one sound now in a song now? Weird.

That's not it. Can you just think of the name for that? With this freaky language where words have five different meanings, it's called something. The sound that's produced after the strumming of a guitar string. Can you define that? I'm just looking for the name.

I would call them...sustained notes? Still doesn't link together bands like The White Stripes, Smashing Pumpkins, and Blink-182, who are all pointedly alternative bands, so don't try to deny that they are.

I'm not even sure if he understands it.
