This song is so beautiful... I used to cry, the first few times I listened to it, because I'm so far away from my dad and I love him so much, I'm so proud of him and, as they say in the song, I wanna be the same as him!
when you do pinch harmonics you do it nearer to the neck, away from the bridge, but i don't see that technique here.. he's maybe using a wah pedal that produces a pinch harmonic effect (maybe at number 4 or halfway open) plus a phaser that is mixed with a step sequencer on a sawtooth sequence.. i think that's the nearest possible, because the "pinched" sound starts from a higher pitch going lower and lower, and strts back to a higher pitch, like looping.
@kidbuueatsall its a phaser on a sawtooth mode... with a good distortion, yum, i crave for Ben's gears!! but you can also do it with a pinch harmonic, but probably you can't jump like ben does on intro.. =)
def. not a pinch harmonic. pinch's aren't really an "effect" like pedals are. i would say your probably right with the flanger just on an odd setting or maybe a phaser on an odd setting again.

Wow, the did a good job of this. It seems like this would be a really hard song to perform live. The second verse of this song is just... amazing...
I love you dad
sweet band and song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's a little bit slow
@MagzStupidShit not sure if he's using flange or not but he definitely is using a phaser
I think its custom, but its a stop sign that says BUSH, hinting to stop Former US Republican President Bush

I’ve said it 1,000 times before and I’ll say it again yellowcard was better with Ben and LP...
HA! Their hate of governments reminds me a little of Greenday... :D
