@dmitri8905 thanks for your comment bud. Yeah it's a bit of an odd composition - structurally not conventional. Just many years listening to it helped but was fun working it out at last

@alecspidalieri9849 cool people are still coming across the video. Thanks bud, was a fun recording

@drewstrong2356 Just standard E tuning

@@SrMauroxHunter101 Mil gracias mate!

@@flor-zh4mc I get really kind comments on this video. It was great playing this recording as I was in the zone and enjoying the music. What a band

@@eiia9418 Enjoy learning and playing along!

@chrisbarrett8659 cheers Chris! The reaction to the video has been a surprise and the bands music is certainly still adored by many

@Irisheyes228 hello again! Yep, I think this would have fit perfectly on Static & Silence. Instead a b-side but here it is

@@AdrenalineConcept I completely agree! I actually found myself listening to most of Static and Silence last night. My ❤️ heart belongs to the Blind LP but something about the melancholy of "Static and Silence". Through the dark, to me sounds like "When I'm thinking about you" some of the chords. It's such a treasure to hear and find a new song, "new to me" from a band that was a part of your life..🎶🎶

@kylejones4440 enjoy yourself immersing in the music and the visuals that accompany.

@MichaelRector-qf7xp strange too given guitar dominance of the era - but also a lot of players too at the time. Hands down my favourite guitarist.

@Sonamy09 no tutorial but I have put the chords in the description. There's chord and tab transcripts for the song out there very close to what I'm doing here

Very kind comment. All credit to the band and string performers for a beautiful piece of music

@Irisheyes228 there was drum programming on both albums, e.g. Goodbye combines live and programmed hi-hats. But Reading, Writing... was more predominant. Drum sound was just very different - mic and recording techniques, bigger deeper drum shells (U2, Phil Collins, Simple Minds) come to mind. Patch appeared rock solid live

@@AdrenalineConcept such a fan of Phil Collins. U2 so many great drum solos..Simple Minds " Alive and Kickin 🥁🎸🎶🎵..The trips down memory lane....

@Irisheyes228 this is an awesome comment to receive today. I recorded this cause I love the song, and am a huge fan of David Gavurin. If someone could learn it, cool. But to have someone have memories and associated emotion unlock, that's really special. I'll be doing Folk Song shortly as I have some time

@@AdrenalineConcept you're absolutely welcome! I was reminiscing old songs on you tube by The Sundays and you popped up. Your cover is truly spot on! Those riffs are undeniable @ the 3:31 mark I was blown away, I'm a fan! Looking forward to hearing more from you. Best of luck and thanks for the memories..

@@Irisheyes228 This is so kind of you. When I recorded that part I hit my overdrive pedal and the volume blasted my ear drums, but in a very satisfying way! I matched it more so to how David would play it live. You were fortunate to have been listening to them during the Blind era. Whenever I listen to Smashing Pumpkins, Feeder, or Jeremy Enigk I am thrown back into interesting passages of my life, so it's fun when music gives escapism. I get you. Your comment is timely as I just uploaded "Folk Song".

@@AdrenalineConcept and I just heard it! I never thought about how lucky I was being "alive" and enjoying those youthful days, but it was the best times of my life. Personal times... I was in the military, living in NY and got to experience so much of life at a young age listening to these amazing bands with extraordinary lyrics that you just cannot find anymore. I am shocked to say I still have all their CD's a priceless GEM in my repertoire. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic/ Blind were always on repeat!!!

​@Irisheyes228 I have the first 2 albums on vinyl (and CD for Blind and Static & Silence US editions) and I just discover layers every time I immerse myself in a listen. Winter listening mostly. In the military and travelling the USA, that's quite a unique world to be in early 90s from Ireland

@vectorthurm no idea what is out there but not being piano based one would merely be creatively interpreting

I uploaded a cover of this recently

Hey Jessie. I actually learnt this on bass. Then translated the root notes to chords. Listened to the song for many years ago so ear picks things up - helps if it's in your skill range and mine isn't exactly extensive Haha

Can be done ambitiously (worked off the root bass notes) but not going get the sound and flow versus Open-E. Stoked this will set you up!

Every 30 years seems to be the revival of great music and bands after their initial wow phase - often the wow part not fully acknowledged when the band is active and creating great music. Nice comment bud.

My favourite album by them mate.

Hey! I'm currently working on another song off Blind and 2 off their debut Reading, Writing & Arithmetic. I've jammed "Cry" a few times - lots of guitar layers on Static & Silence (3rd album) so hard to work out best way to play for the arrangement. May get onto doing a play through unless someone comes along and does a great job

My pleasure, enjoy playing the tune

Awesome! That's one thing I hoped it would help someone with.

Thanks again mate, yeah would have sounded better through the amp but more practical and quicker the way I did it.

That's extremely kind

Entire album is just such a majestic listen.

I watch this more than I listen to the original - amazing

Too kind!

Thanks so much. 'Noise' isn't that well known a tune but confident the few who see that video will like it

Excessive chorus and reverb wouldn't help the cause. My ear isn't too locked into it to bug me. Drummer.

Thanks bud. Good music lives on! Be nice to do a few more but been in the studio with one of my other bands so only been working on original music. Happy you enjoyed this

Combination as the band was instrumentally a 3-piece. So guitarist carries rhythmic and melodic responsibility. It's very much though a guitarist "leading" the track with isolated notes and arppegios over warm chords.

Nah, delicacy with the strumming pattern when playing the open E. Down strums catch the low 4 strings and upstrum high 3 strings. Only the final chord is hitting all 6 strings. I just note all strings in the tab as they are relevant

Thanks mate! Happy the performance is being enjoyed

A wish for many but certain the curtain is forever closed. Got 3 great albums at least!

I got to give Harriet a bracelet lolz

Thanks mate! Your comment is kind

There's ways to make it happen in standard, but this gives it the warmth and flow standard can't quite achieve for the player.

An album that was a left turn in the 90s but has remained a time piece for 1992. Quite something really. I also love Blind start to finish.
