The instruments in the song add a very slow, groovy feel to the song. The song&#8217;s intro incorporates a bass line and the Maestro G-2 of a vintage Telecaster. Accompanying this melody is a synth organ. Other unique instruments come in later in the song such as a clavinet, a mellotron, a glockenspiel (similar to a xylophone, but the bars are made of metal plates instead of wood) and a Juno-106 synthesizer. This song combines many different, unique instruments and synthesizers that give the song a distorted, psychedelic feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Redbone&#8221; is a song by rapper and singer Child Gambino aka Donald Glover.
