    Three guitar tracks shown one at a time, then all mixed together. On the Ric 330/12.
    Don't know if this is exactly what is on the record, it's some of what I hear on it. I've made the mix more "full on" than the record, because I'm a bit obsessed with the idea that the record was originally going to sound even better than it does (before it was remixed by early U2 producer Steve Lillywhite).
    Trivia: The middle part features some pull-offs but no hammer-ons.

    This is the first time I've ever commented on TH-cam, and I'm unlikely to do it again, but I just had to comment on this video. "Ask" is an absolutely gorgeous song - one of my favorites - and you've done a masterful job of covering it here. Great, great work!!!

    Okay, well each part covers a different range of audio spectrum. Part 1 is bass notes, part 2 is between 1 and 2 octaves up, and part 3 reaches into the octave above that. So (like a radio with radio waves) your brain/ear is able to tune into each part pretty easily when they are all playing at once, allowing you to choose which part you hear. Also part 3 has quite a sharp, choppy rhythm to it which makes it stand out, and part 1 is hit quite hard so the initial notes are clear.

    The joys of multitrack! This month I finally sat down to really figure it all out instead of tossing in bits for an acoustic one-track take. Marr's stuff really does get served better if it's fleshed out like this - keep up the great music!

  • @frankysusername
    @frankysusername 15 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    By the way Daniel, I consider this song to be their absolute most complex (production wise) and maybe even their "masterpiece" (production wise). What do you think? There is A LOT going on in this record

  • @TimMeowMeow
    @TimMeowMeow 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I played one of these beauties the other day for the first time in my local music shop.
    It sounded just incredible. It was very different to any guitar I've ever played before, so I could see it taking a lot of getting used to, but it would be so worth it.
    Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford one!

    Okay the way you play the chord progression in Track 1 is really unique, I really liked that a lot. Were you using delay on that track? It sounded like you were. Great tone by the way.
    For a lot of people asking how he is getting his guitar to sound like that, 90% of it is in the way he is playing it, he's a really experienced player and I can tell he's developed an awesome tone through his fingerss.
