House of Gold


House of Gold is an alternative folk track from Twenty One Pilots' 2013 album Vessel, written as a tribute to Tyler Joseph's mother. Though driven primarily by ukulele, the song's aching melody and stomping drums create a compelling arrangement that electric guitarists can interpret and adapt. Its emotional depth and dynamic structure make it an engaging piece to learn and perform.

  • The song features an aching melody built on stomping drums rather than traditional guitar-driven rock.
  • Tyler Joseph wrote and dedicated House of Gold to his mother, Kelly Joseph, adding personal significance.
  • From Vessel, Twenty One Pilots' third studio album, released in 2013.

Tyler Joseph uses the Strat's versatile single-coil pickups to nail the clear, articulate tones essential for Twenty One Pilots' syncopated rhythmic lines. The guitar's bright response cuts through electronic elements without muddiness, letting his precise playing technique shine in complex arrangements.

Joseph favors the Telecaster for its punchy single-coil clarity and minimal tone coloration, delivering the transparent, cutting sound that defines Twenty One Pilots' guitar work. The instrument's direct responsiveness supports his minimalist effects approach, relying purely on amp tone and playing precision.
