    Just remember guys - these are all diatonic modes in D major - this whole thing is based around Bminor scale but he's using the arpeggios in D major , esp g major 7, d major 7 and A7

I still remember putting in my brand new VHS tape and being totally blown away by this wonderful intro. Thank you so much for doing this. All these years later I am still trying to master this and now you have been such a big help for me to be able to try and re-create this magic.
    Thanks again and best wishes to you.

    • @simpsonsgogogo
      @simpsonsgogogo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I used the Amazing Slow Downer to slow down to about 30 to 50% of the original and picked each note. I also checked the positions by moving the video forward and backward frame by frame. It took a lot of time, but it was a kind of stress reliever for me on the C-19 situation. (C-19 situation is still going on...) Good luck with your challenge!

      Mostly chorus and mild delay, I would mainly focus on dialing in the chorus pedal first because that's the effect you hear most then add just mild echo with your delay pedal. Add OD/gain to your crunch preference and then you are off to the races! Have fun. :)
