  1. Ya, I get how to do it now Just a bit awkward on my fingers for some reason
  2. Just realized what you said, at first I misread and thought you were saying what was said before (1st finger on 8th fret, barre with ring finger across B, G and D) Your method is somewhat easier, but it's still gonna take some time to feel natural like other chords
  3. And you can form the chords that way quickly? In time with the song? To me it's fiddly and a squeeze
  4. Am I just being really stupid here? Whenever I try and barre for these chords, the barring finger seems to deaden the 8th fret e string, they're like root 5th Major barre chords, only the fingering is reversed, which makes it hard for me
  5. I did try that, it's dead awkward, and I'm not a total chord n00b, I have no problem with barre chords, is it just one of those things that will take time to get down?
  6. So it's just me then >.< I just find my 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers get squished a lot when forming those chords, so much so it's damn near impossible to form them in time, do you finger them like this? (from e to d) 1st finger, 2nd finger, 3rd finger, 4th finger?
  7. So, I've been learning Invincible lately, and parts of it confuse me, or rather, the tabs do: 1. In the 2nd verse, is it just power chords? One tab says so, and the only decent cover of the song on Youtube does too (I think) 2. The 2nd chorus, the chords that the tabs indicate seem impossible to form: E|-----------8---------| |-----------10--------| B|-----10--10-10---| |-----12--12--12---| G|---10--10-----10-| |---12--12------12-| D|-10-----------------| |-12------------------| A|---------------------| |-----------------------| E|---------------------| |-----------------------| Is it just me, or are those chords not fingerable (Yes, that's totally a word ) by regular human hands?
  8. It usually takes quite a while for backing tracks to start roaming around the internet, Supremacy's is only around a year old, so I doubt there will be anything floating around already. I did a rough cover of Supremacy with a MIDI keyboard for the orchestral parts, sure, it won't sound exactly like the real deal, but it's better than nothing. Obviously you won't be able to work out every last violin, trumpet etc, but if you really need an orchestral backing track, you should be able to work out enough to get by
  9. Haha I meant besides the obvious Whammy option, but I suppose you're right in saying it's pointless buying a synth just for a more realistic sounding MOTP sound. Is there anything else worth noting Matt uses the Clavia for? If i was to buy one, or something similar, what else would it be able to do, that would justify buying a synth?
  10. Aha, I'm not too familiar with his live setup besides the obvious (whammy, FF etc) How much are they? If they're uber expensive is there a decent, cheaper alternative that can be used for MOTP?
  11. You saying he uses the Clavia live?
  12. This might be a dumb question, but I don't suppose there is a VST synth modeled on the Clavia is there? And which vocoder did you use to do this?
  13. How does Matt get the MOTP effect live? My guitar teacher reckons he mimes to a backing track, whilst it isn't hard to mime to, that's ridiculous as the tone is different for almost every performance. So, considering Matt doesn't just settle for using Guitar Rig/Whammy like us regular folk, what does he do?
  14. Say what. The effect isn't Matt running his guitar through 2 synths? He said that's how he got the effect in an interview..
  15. That sound is kinda horrible, but could be desired in certain situations I guess, if you're looking for that disgusting glitchy sound..
