Make it sound like the bottom right-hand corner
Not the top left- hand corner

Pretty hard to explain if it doesn't immediately strike a chord (no pun intended). It's kind of like how they say major chords sound happy and minor chords sound sad. Gives off a certain vibe.

I still don't understand what the alpaca is all about...
