When you guys actually get close to sync, the little bits of randomness from the two echos really add a dimension to the song that doesn't exist with the delay pedal. This was one hell of an interesting idea.
@@wannabeaninterpreter Automation absolutely can provide groove and swing. That's not what he's talking about. He's talking about the little idiosyncrasies of each guitar blending together to provide a richer and more interesting-sounding delay that you can't achieve with a pedal.
Keep in mind they can all hear each other. Their minds are telling them to catch up and play in time with Rob. Their muscle memory is screaming at them “CATCH UP! CATCH UP! YOUR’RE BEHIND!”. Their headphones weren’t noise cancelling. They essentially had to concentrate on deliberately playing off time which is so difficult to do when you’ve played on time for so long
Not really. When you play for long enough, playing on time isn't something that you are forced to do. It helps with adaptability, but the stability is still there, so if you can get focused on being the exact same distance from the other one, it will be stable as long as no one messes up. Which seemed to be the biggest problem here
They were playing to a click just concerntrate on the click. Someone set the robs to start first then middle then last. Same tempo just a second behind
no, they are just listening to themselves in their headphones and playing to a click. you can even hear rob say in the video, "do we need to move you further away so you can't hear us?" to the guy on the end.
@@eyeseeyou913 that's exactly what the comment meant I think. They can hear each other, but not on purpose. So they have to be careful not to sync up. Honestly they should have gotten noise cancelling headphones since even closed studio headphones they are wearing don't isolate enough. But that was probably not an option budget-wise when this was filmed. And it would have made for a boring video
Well, technically it would be more impressive than being the lead guitarist - you have to play the exact same stuff as the lead, but with an added delay which makes it even more difficult.
As a late beginner guitarist, I found this a bit encouraging. I know their job as a team is hard, but you rarely see musicians mess up, nor do you see how many takes they may do before they record one good enough to upload. I'm recording my journey as I learn just so I can see how much I grow with time, and I get frustrated sometimes when I know I can play a piece well but once the camera is on, it just changes everything. The more you attempt it, the harder it gets for some reason. My hands get clammy, and with each attempt, it gets more stiff. It's also tiring at times. I applaud these guys for trying 60 times. There must have been added pressure of everyone being there and time running out. The piece was quite complex with a lot of notes per minute and a lot of string skipping, but they managed to get it done. Great job!
@@meneerhalfwerk7096 I mean, they each had their own sound-blocking headphones with their own personal clicktrack/metronome. I figured it's more keeping your own rhythm and playing the peace without mistakes, not getting confused or distracted by the other two (why one asked if they should move further apart), than it is 'playing out of sync'. The first guy would start on beat 1, second guy starts on beat 2, third guy starts on beat 3, and they all just have to play the piece perfectly after that. At least that's what I figured from watching.
Could also be 1st person on 1st beat, 2nd person on 1+, and 3rd person on 2nd beat. It's quite close, but they're all playing in time with themselves. It's just a matter of starting on a different beat/time and playing through the whole song keeping in time with their own clicktrack/metronome. They could have copied the same person 3 times or record them separately, but they wanted to get the delay effect in that room all recorded at the same time. :)
@@kamekomiyamora The fact that it took 3 decent players 60 takes to get this right, for a song they all practiced and could play well - that aloneproves that it isn't as easy lol
@@Fs3i Exactly 🤯 Even 10 takes is a lot of effort. It's not a short piece either. I could imagine the many times they were SO CLOSE but someone messed up. Deep down, I know everyone makes mistakes, but few show that. All you see is advanced players and pros. They could have just showed us the end result, but it's really nice seeing what it takes to have a clean recording now and then. Now I'm curious how many takes or cuts online bands do before they are satisfied, ya know?
Really love going back to take 29 and listen to it over and over again. It just particularly resonates with me. Also, I can't help but wonder if the takes they left out were just mostly uninteresting, or if they lost their cool. =D
Matthew Van Ness you're correct but I think they each had separate mets so I believe they were all playing even quarters in their own head set, so they were all playing their own even 8ths
Theyre a playing to a click track ,so they each had an equal part .The only reason he struggled was becasue he was hearing the first part being played and could not differentiate as well as the last guy
I watched this a long time ago, but it ended up in my recommended again. A lot of comments are very recent. Has TH-cam finally given this video the attention it deserves?
Literally just noticed that, paused the video and searched for "never" in the comments (still haven't watched the rest of the video yet lol). Only you and 1 other guy mentioned with just you guys getting only a few likes?! I am shocked haha
I think its because if you shout instantly after the song is over the recording software might pick it up and its a bitch to remove, so they give it like 2-3 seconds before they ask
Right. Could potentially ruin the recording. I know i stay dead silent if I get a perfect take after an hour or two. Dont even breathe because i don't want the mic picking up anything else til im done.
In defense of middle-guy, he probably had it the hardest because he was hearing the song delayed in two directions relative to him, while the other guys only have to hear it delayed in one direction relative to them. Also, I feel like it would have been better to just play through to the end of the song whenever someone messed up. That way you don't under-practice the later parts. I don't know though, maybe that would have taken longer.
Alessio David it's an acoustic guitar fam they we hearing everyone play, the headphones were there for a timed click to let the user know when to start playing.
I once had a country level music contest, and there was a pair of guitarists that played a piece specifically written so that one guitar sounds like the echo of another. I was even more impressed when my teacher said that its actually one of the most complicated things to play like that
may i suggest to you the piano phase by steven reich. It's a piano where two pianists are playing the same simple loop, but one of them is playing just slightly faster than the other, making a cascading wall of sound.
Not going to lie, final take gave me goosebumps and I may or may not have gone a little misty-eyed. Watching this again after 2 years and it's still one of my favorite guitar videos.
I keep coming back to this because it's honestly just one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a modern recording context. Rob's a guy who I'd love to have in the studio, just for the sake of his sheer determination to play it right and not leave until he does.
My god, that was beautiful. 60 takes can be super nerve-wracking even for guitar players who experienced all the pain in the world trying to play "that one song" over and over again. And having to play in a team makes it worse. Kudos to you guys, you overcame the trouble and did it. Also, matching outfits is hillarious touch lol

It's actually frightening seeing rob that agitated right before the camera guy suggests they take a break. Rob seems like such a nice guy and those are the dewds you never wanna see mad.
@@THCHead They're talking about 5:25, on take 24. You can see it building up throughout the previous takes though. Rob like quietly nods with this murderous expression on his face after they fuck up.
I am very glad y'all broke down the musicality at the beginning and showed the fact the it took 60 takes very much making it relatable and humanizing characters people see in there internet videos. Great performance!
I keep coming back to this video just because it's truly awesome to see musicians actually take fucking forever to capture a solid performance without any editing or tricks. It's the greatest thing to see everyone's tired and agitated faces at the beginning of the final take turn to relief as they nail it.
As an amateur musician and aspiring TH-camr I often get caught up in that perfectionist ideal and the illusion of "all in one take". Seeing the number of times you guy had to do different takes, take breaks, and just be frustrated really helped me remember that I'll never be perfect the first time around. I wanted to thank you for showing the process leading up to it, as well as the finished product. It really helped encourage me.
Good luck with music in the future my dude. As a fellow TH-camr, i have problems every week, and i see how hard it is to keep the cool, but stay strong, we'll get there someday!!!!
Its super interesting to see how youtube and stuff has an effect on people. Back in my day, the way to get things right was to do it until you got it right, but i guess with all these edits and clips it takes away from that natural realization.
Dunno how you got that idea in the first place.... A lot of albums take 12 months straight to get done, or in some cases much more than that. If people did things in one take, every album would be recorded over a couple of days.
@@vortexbeater8267 Even back in the day there was still a fair bit of editing going on. Quite a few classics have audible cuts or are well known to have been cut from many different takes. Although it's definitely gotten way more full on nowadays.
I love the guy at the backs reaction when he fucks up. It's just a whole lot of head and hand movements and very little noise compared to the other guys lol
I failed to properly read your comment before I replied.... I really should have paid more attention before assuming you were just being another pedantic TH-cam commenter.... ;-; Nice meme my dude ;)
I find the technical aspects of this fascinating, the audio production side of my brain is loving it, and major respect for sticking at it for so many takes. Turned out great though, true analog delay 🤘
after spending most of the day today in the studio and finally finishing the recording of a metal piece after 108 takes, i feel like i probably should have practiced more before going to the studio lol
I feel your pain. Recording so many covers I sometimes end up getting stuck on one riff because of simple mistakes over and over again.... Does get easier though!
If you think THIS is cool, then check out the real thing: Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists. I like this vid, too, but I gotta give credit where credit is due.
"Asturias" is a song performed by them that DEFINITELY comes to mind. Before I forget, there's also the "California Guitar Trio" which was started by three guys who were students of Fripp. It's all amazing stuff, I had the rare opportunity to go see the "Crafties" a few years ago and they haven't played since. It's truly one of a kind. Enjoy!!!
i know this is late and rob you will probably never see this but i just want to say this is one of the most amazing feats of musicianship ive ever seen, the songs itself is absolutely beautiful and the precision you all play with is truly inspiring, this is the video i turn to when im struggling with motivation and i cant thank you enough for that, so thank you for posting this piece of art
It happens. If you are a working musician your instruments will catch a few dings, so as long as it isn't broken it's fine. An acoustic guitar dropping on the wooden floor of that empty room must sound mightly loud though.
SteelSkin667 yeah I know. I've dropped a few of my own guitars too. Two or three of them have chipped headstocks because of that. I always panic whenever I drop one though, or whenever I hear one fall.
The commitment to recording it correctly and getting a perfect take is truly inspiring. Wish more of the bands I record showed even a fraction of that.
they actually just used a camera on a dolly, which they just moved around Scallon is a big fan of the dolly, so it’s no surprise that they got the cameraman to use it
Well, technically it is delay, although it is not a delay pedal. But it is awesome how close the sound is to the actuall track with pedal, really a great accomplishment!
not analog. it's just delay. analog and digital refer to representations of sound in another physical phenomenon, like voltages in an effects box. the delay here is actual soundwaves produced moments later by other musicians. and the reverb is actual soundwaves bouncing off walls of the room. the delay effect is produced without any transformation made to/from an analogous signal.
Imagine if distortion pedals weren't a thing. And people heard this for the 1st time. Unbelievably cool concept and amazing result man. Thank you for your content.
I've used a staircase with an unplugged Tele. I was right at the top and I swear it sounded 100% like an amp breaking up, I got as beautiful a bluesy edge of breakup sound as any amp could make. And some nice reverb too of course.
Rob and the third one had the down beats while the middle guy had the up beats in the first 3 counts then on the 4th count, Rob had the up beat and the middle had down beat if you count it in 8th notes its 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and then it repeats
You're very welcome! i love how he puts so much details in his videos, so much commitment. He never fais to make me laugh, teach me something and make me headbump good :)
This is how i started to listen to music. I think in my own head that i can listen to one instrument at a time in a concert, to then expand the view from one to all gives me the chills. This creates that understanding of coherence in between the different instrument, to then hear the whole. In this end, this makes song so much more enjoyable to hear, and enjoy. Which is due to this song, Thank you Rob! :)
Dude, you've been placing yourself into quite the audio tech adventure lately. A very uncommon thing these days, considering the plug ins available at our disposal. I get a feeling, that although "everything has been done", you may just well be on the path of discovering something new. With the creative opportunities that you have, its only time, where you stumble into a new thing that has not been discovered....
imagine delay effects never existed, and these guys came up with the most ingenious composition ever
To be fair it was actually a known musical idea way before it was made into an effect, just look at any piece named canon
Sounds like a minimalist Steve Reich thing. He was doing that decades ago.

may i suggest to you the piano phase by steven reich. It's a piano where two pianists are playing the same simple loop, but one of them is playing just slightly faster than the other, making a cascading wall of sound.

Rob Chapman hey sir I can't afford an electric guitar. By any chance would you make a trash one for me just to play some notes.. :/
Hey it’s Rob “Bob” Chapman
ace_v290 so what?
Osman Karaca I was just announcing his presence.
ace_v290 I think everyone knows him so.
this acoustic rain sounds more like actual rain than electric rain
Electric rain is now a band name I need to find
because that sounds so sick
I keep coming back to this because it's honestly just one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a modern recording context. Rob's a guy who I'd love to have in the studio, just for the sake of his sheer determination to play it right and not leave until he does.
My god, that was beautiful.
60 takes can be super nerve-wracking even for guitar players who experienced all the pain in the world trying to play "that one song" over and over again. And having to play in a team makes it worse.
Kudos to you guys, you overcame the trouble and did it.
Also, matching outfits is hillarious touch lol

I am very glad y'all broke down the musicality at the beginning and showed the fact the it took 60 takes very much making it relatable and humanizing characters people see in there internet videos. Great performance!
basically to get to 10 minutes for another ad
vodzilla Exactly. Someone gets it.
yes!
though I hope he'd upload a just the final performance version
Im your 1000th like
I keep coming back to this video just because it's truly awesome to see musicians actually take fucking forever to capture a solid performance without any editing or tricks. It's the greatest thing to see everyone's tired and agitated faces at the beginning of the final take turn to relief as they nail it.
As an amateur musician and aspiring TH-camr I often get caught up in that perfectionist ideal and the illusion of "all in one take". Seeing the number of times you guy had to do different takes, take breaks, and just be frustrated really helped me remember that I'll never be perfect the first time around.
I wanted to thank you for showing the process leading up to it, as well as the finished product. It really helped encourage me.
Good luck with music in the future my dude. As a fellow TH-camr, i have problems every week, and i see how hard it is to keep the cool, but stay strong, we'll get there someday!!!!
Its super interesting to see how youtube and stuff has an effect on people. Back in my day, the way to get things right was to do it until you got it right, but i guess with all these edits and clips it takes away from that natural realization.
This comment. Agree 10000%.
Dunno how you got that idea in the first place.... A lot of albums take 12 months straight to get done, or in some cases much more than that. If people did things in one take, every album would be recorded over a couple of days.
@@vortexbeater8267 Even back in the day there was still a fair bit of editing going on. Quite a few classics have audible cuts or are well known to have been cut from many different takes. Although it's definitely gotten way more full on nowadays.
I love the guy at the backs reaction when he fucks up. It's just a whole lot of head and hand movements and very little noise compared to the other guys lol
Thats because he is the last delay so the volume is low
I mean you can tell he's just being less vocal about it. He just likes gesticulating ; - ;
Ignacio Centurion, you are a legend.
was joking about the intensity because he is the last of the delay...
I failed to properly read your comment before I replied.... I really should have paid more attention before assuming you were just being another pedantic TH-cam commenter.... ;-; Nice meme my dude ;)
I find the technical aspects of this fascinating, the audio production side of my brain is loving it, and major respect for sticking at it for so many takes. Turned out great though, true analog delay 🤘
after spending most of the day today in the studio and finally finishing the recording of a metal piece after 108 takes, i feel like i probably should have practiced more before going to the studio lol
I feel your pain. Recording so many covers I sometimes end up getting stuck on one riff because of simple mistakes over and over again.... Does get easier though!
3 years later this is still the coolest damn thing.
If you think THIS is cool, then check out the real thing: Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists. I like this vid, too, but I gotta give credit where credit is due.
"Asturias" is a song performed by them that DEFINITELY comes to mind.
Before I forget, there's also the "California Guitar Trio" which was started by three guys who were students of Fripp. It's all amazing stuff, I had the rare opportunity to go see the "Crafties" a few years ago and they haven't played since. It's truly one of a kind. Enjoy!!!
Take 60: "Yeaaah, we got it!!!" - "Oh... sorry guys, Cubase stopped recording... disk was full!" :D
Lmbooo
Ouch xD
well they still would have the video records lol
Kind of, delay wouldn't be nearly as noticeable in off the video mic :/ the reverb would have sounded cool though @@necrobynerton7384
@@DozIT Oh yea... Forgot that camera mics aren't good for that type of audio recording lol

Maybe each shirt going front to back slightly smaller?

If you're gonna copy a comment, don't use the top one
i opened this up in 4 different tabs and had them all play around 2 seconds apart from each other it sounded pretty neat
Thank you good sir, i just did the same and it sounded really good
I tried it too thanks to you. Sounds pretty good.
maybe i just did it wrong but sounds pretty trash to me
It sounded a bit too much for me with 4 tabs, 3 worked a lot better.
Legendary idea. You, sir, deserve an internet cookie. (::)
SUPER COOL GUYS
also love the "everybody dresses as Rob joke"

Very impressive and makes you appreciate how much reduction in complexity a simple small pedal offers.

*murders the guy with the computer with the nylon string guitar*
😂😂😂
That guitar drop felt painful
"Professional musicians."
I don’t understand how Rob just look back and didn’t say anything xd
That’s always painful.
It happens. If you are a working musician your instruments will catch a few dings, so as long as it isn't broken it's fine. An acoustic guitar dropping on the wooden floor of that empty room must sound mightly loud though.
SteelSkin667 yeah I know. I've dropped a few of my own guitars too. Two or three of them have chipped headstocks because of that. I always panic whenever I drop one though, or whenever I hear one fall.
So worth it. This sounds so amazing. You can hear the difference between this and the digital delay. The resonance gives me chills.
I like this idea. It's interesting that effect done in this way because the "delays" aren't exact duplicates of the original sound. So cool!
I love how I can't even notice when they mess up
You know what they say. 60th take is the charm.
The commitment to recording it correctly and getting a perfect take is truly inspiring. Wish more of the bands I record showed even a fraction of that.
2:12 Jeff immediately playing the intro to Never Meant made me laugh more than it probably should have

string synced?
I think murder would have happened.
they actually just used a camera on a dolly, which they just moved around
Scallon is a big fan of the dolly, so it’s no surprise that they got the cameraman to use it
The first take sounded really good!
It did, but look at 4:44, the third guy jumped to the change first, before Rob.
the first impression it is what stays. if any of others 59 takes was the first, would be the same.
I can easily rewatch this video like twice a year and it’s like watching it for the first time every single time. Love it.
It's hard for me to realise that it's not delay. My brain just really wants it to be delay.
Well, technically it is delay, although it is not a delay pedal. But it is awesome how close the sound is to the actuall track with pedal, really a great accomplishment!
it is delay

This is true analog delay
Mind = blown
Haha damn..
lose the digital click track and go for it
holly shit thats right
not analog. it's just delay. analog and digital refer to representations of sound in another physical phenomenon, like voltages in an effects box. the delay here is actual soundwaves produced moments later by other musicians. and the reverb is actual soundwaves bouncing off walls of the room. the delay effect is produced without any transformation made to/from an analogous signal.
When you got it, every failed take was worth it. Beautiful.
Imagine if distortion pedals weren't a thing. And people heard this for the 1st time. Unbelievably cool concept and amazing result man. Thank you for your content.
You mean delay
I've used a staircase with an unplugged Tele. I was right at the top and I swear it sounded 100% like an amp breaking up, I got as beautiful a bluesy edge of breakup sound as any amp could make. And some nice reverb too of course.

thats cause he did
Rob and the third one had the down beats while the middle guy had the up beats in the first 3 counts then on the 4th count, Rob had the up beat and the middle had down beat if you count it in 8th notes its 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and then it repeats
I’ve never heard of this guy, and I don’t play guitar, but when they finally got it, I literally jumped up and yelled. Suspense was high. Lol

@@BigBurgerBoy557 i actually didnt notice
This is how i started to listen to music. I think in my own head that i can listen to one instrument at a time in a concert, to then expand the view from one to all gives me the chills. This creates that understanding of coherence in between the different instrument, to then hear the whole. In this end, this makes song so much more enjoyable to hear, and enjoy. Which is due to this song, Thank you Rob! :)

Dude, you've been placing yourself into quite the audio tech adventure lately. A very uncommon thing these days, considering the plug ins available at our disposal. I get a feeling, that although "everything has been done", you may just well be on the path of discovering something new. With the creative opportunities that you have, its only time, where you stumble into a new thing that has not been discovered....
