Bisa Kdei reveals how he used cheap guitar to create sound on ‘Brother Brother’

Ghanaian musician Bisa Kdei has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes detail about the making of his song ‘Brother Brother’, revealing that he used a cheap acoustic guitar to produce the distinctive guitar sound heard on the track.

Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, the musician said the instrument was not an electric guitar, as many might assume, but an acoustic guitar which he tuned to achieve the desired sound.

He explained that he spent several hours working on the guitar to get the sound right, although the final recording was not technically perfect.

“I played the guitar on ‘Brother Brother’ using a cheap guitar. And you know the funny part? It wasn’t even an electric guitar; it was an acoustic guitar, but I tuned it to sound like an old guitar,” he said.

Bisa Kdei added that he spent a couple of hours trying to get the sound right but eventually accepted its imperfections, believing they contributed to the song’s appeal.

“I spent a couple of hours working on it, making sure I got it right, and I did. It wasn’t even perfect, but I thought, ‘No, it doesn’t have to be perfect. If it were perfect, it probably wouldn’t sound good,’” he added.
