matthijs Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 My sheet books are in Estonia, I've written it out there... basically release after your right hand is done, and quickly after your first left... it's tricky, probably the trickiest pedal play in any Muse song. It's my personal preference though, I think Matt has it it including the bass note... I find it gets too messy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ahh I think I know what you mean! I actually prefer the bass notes sustained, but then I like really meaty wide chords, so a bit of personal preference. Also it helps cover up my bad technique with some bass notes being quieter than others. What do you do for the chorus? I don't pedal that, but find it annoying having a sudden pause in the bassline when I jump down an octave. I've also tried pedaling the last note and that sounds a bit weird as well.

matthijs Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've got an old cover (2007-ish), but the sound is rather shit. In the chorus I do sustain tiny bits to cover up the changes I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLpsP35aEX0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I didn't realise you were MuseMatt! When I first started learning a couple of years ago, your vids were among the first ones I watched for inspiration. Instead of feeling inspired I just sat there in awe thinking "WTF, I'll never be able to do that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I tried to do a video today recording just my pedal. Then I realised that I need to brush up on the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemckie Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lAChYiGgE0&feature=youtu.be Perhaps a bit too much on the POG bass but I know a lot of you like these guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I realised that I need to brush up on the song Don't worry I could hear in your video what you're doing with the pedal. Not really my style, s'all. Interestingly I posted this on reddit (asking for critique) and one guy agreed with you that there's too much sustain and it sounds muddy. He also asked me to repost it without Matt's voice though so idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 @ joemckie Would be better if you'd have done it on bass @es: I don't agree on not having the vocals! I've always been against oversustaining, I don't like it as it is mostly done to cover up mistakes and sloppy playing styles, and a proper pedal technique makes your songs so much better to listen too.

I'm pretty sure his bass is tuned like a guitar (as daft as it sounds), it's hard to tell... I did try it on bass but sounds 10x better on guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try it on bass but sounds 10x better on guitar Judging by the videos, his strings are too thick to be tuned an octave higher than normal.

joemckie Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Judging by the videos, his strings are too thick to be tuned an octave higher than normal. Yep, even on a low gauge it doesn't tune up that high (believe me, I tried ). There's 2 POG's though, but the sound's just far too digital to sound anything similar...

Terence Mckenna Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Hello http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy0CzHgQab4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35fue1wrVBA Oh no i can't post directly here, please help me and tell me how to do it, thank you! Matt like Chopin, maybe he played this piece in the past. I will do a medley of fingerstyle muse covers soon, Have a nice day Edited February 19, 2014 by Matthijs fixed the YT embedding :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianohero Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hey everyone, here is a video I made today of me playing several Muse tunes on the piano. Muse helped me find interest in classical and subsequently expanded my pianoing. Also, in a few days, I will begin uploading tutorials for these pieces depending on which one get requested the most in the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muse helped me find interest in classical and subsequently expanded my pianoing. Also, in a few days, I will begin uploading tutorials for these pieces depending on which one get requested the most in the comments. You have really nice technique! As a relatively new pianist I'm still trying to achieve a nice, clean attack like you do here. I'd be interested in hearing you play a full song, if you are game? Perhaps B&H in full with a tutorial afterwards. Musically I'm a bit conflicted. There are some really good ideas in here, for e.g. I love what you did with the D7 chord in RBS. On the other hand there were a few parts that were overplayed, like Space Dementia, and Take a Bow was a bit too fast for my liking. These aren't criticisms per se, and it could be a matter of personal taste, but when it comes to musicality, especially for quieter parts of songs like you're playing here, I feel that less is often more.

Terence Mckenna Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thank you Matthijs!! Pianohero your medley is great!Congratulations! There's a lot of tunes in it, it's very clean and well played, plus a cool point of vue. My first piano piece learned was new-born (very pedagogical with the arpeggios up and down)! Muse songs are so beautiful to arrange just for instrumental versions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Mckenna Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Hey This is my latest Muse cover, after more than 3 years H9OJ2pTmm8k My god it 's fucking cool! It seems really the real muse tune...at the beginning, because we want hear you sing!!But the whole thing is a fucking arrangement! Well done my guitar friend!, Ok.. now just after this message I will record a muse medley... but on a acoustic guitar, and without the "muse sound". Im so shmaed when I hear real rock band sound! but I like to understand matt's lines voice versus harmony via six strings (understanding why "it's a good note" (ex: oh ok it 's a second, etc.).But i can't upload videos when I want, [i must return to my parents home for that...hehe. So i rejoice to success to record medley of muse songs. Now matter, I like muse fans. I hope they will not kill me when I will present ti them a muse music.

Tell me what you think about it Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/somekindofuruguay I think it's really cool, well played, sang strangely (second voice) at some moments but globally it's a success! ps: if you want some old saloon music (ragtime) / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_NOTEvvnPw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
