Stockholm Syndrome (definitive thread)

[Alysum]

A little thread about playing SS on guitar

 

Have any tips to play it as fast as possible ? I was wondering if you stoke the D string up and down or just down like me ?

 

What effect apart from the Fuzz foes he uses to get that so particular sound ?

 

enjoy !

use the down pull offs( sounds weird but i know people who pull up) and alternate pick down up down.

for the effect he used a synthersiser at the same time from this programme rich costey(producer) had which blended the guitar and synth together

[Pictures of you WILLY]

you have to use up and downstrokes for the main riff

[incubism]

I love the song..but Im so frustrated, I can never get it right

[Biblical]

start it really slowly and gradly get faster when you get it right slower then get it right again and go a bit fast and repeat uptil your up to speed

[Imperium]

just mess around withit, sort of half hammer-on it and pick it, its hard to explain, my mate pleays it completely diff to me but stillo sounds fine, just find ur personal style

[Alysum]

When exactly do we do the hammer pull ?

 

Does matt use anything else a part from the fuzz ? Like the phaser ?

Can't understand how he does that so particular sound in live

[Biblical]

for the bridge he uses a phaser,

the way i do it, all the notes are played normally apart from the last bit which i s a hammeron

hammer on 12 right ?

[Hypermusician]

I find it easier to alternate pick it if you pick it really close to the bridge... it also makes it sound better too.

[kandythrash]

I keep changing how i play it, but i get a synth-y type distortion by using a metal distortion into a fuzzy crappy overdrive, it does the job

Erm, thats a bit wrong isnt it?

...I dont really use phaser or any effects for the Riff...just mush is up and have plenty of middle.

 

For the solo break, I use auto wah and phase, for the two parts

[kandythrash]

meh, it gets the job done

I have difficulty playing it so I just miss out the 0's (are they what the pull offs reffer to cos im thick wi tablature) so I just end up playing 12,13,12,10,12 etc. Do you think thats a bad idea? To me I think you can recognise what Im trying to play. hopefully I plan to be able to play it properly but at the min I will go 12, 0, 13, then 12 instead of the next 0. Even going slowly i screw up.

[Larsen B]

SS, the song i can actually play well

 

i just strike the first 0 then hammer on and pull off the rest of the intro with a little delay, i gradually build up wah over the verse and for that bridge i use wah as well,

also i can get quite a good SS sound with max gain and a blues tone which was quite interesting to find out

on most muse songs, its actually easier to miss some of the 0's out and just do a 16th rest instead, thats what i do...im working on a midi of the official tab, so ill put the link and a free program for that if you want to hear it, its good cos you can edit the tab so you can work out what sounds good without having lightning fast fingers or a robotic hand (thats what matt has...he told me once)

[bkaa]

does anybody have the tab for the solo towards the end?

[Alysum]

doesn't the official tab have it ?

[donbenjy]

doesn't the official tab have it ?

 

 

if it does, ill have it in midi and i can scrnshot it or give the link to a free program to edit/open it in

[Hey, Johnny Park!]

How I learned the riff was to first forget the right hand, and get used to the timing of hammers and pulls in the riff. You have to do it pretty quickly, just tapping 12, then 13 then hammering from 10 to 12. When you've got that sortedpractice a slightly slowed down tremolo picking thing right next to the bridge. About 6-8 strokes a second, down and up. If you combine this with the fingering, with a little practice, you should have all the zeros in the right place.

 

The left hand bit is easy, and so'e the right., The rouble comes putting them together. For the verses, keep the same speed, just widen the strokes. If you're having trouble with making the chord changes fast enough, just play the strings open once between chords. It dosen't sound too bad. The solo is on the D string (4th, not 6th) same picking speed:

 

D:--8-8--5-5--0-0--8-8--5-5--0-0--8-8--5-5--7-7--3-3--0-0--7-7--3-3

 

--0-0--7-7--3-3--5-5--2-2--0-0--5-5--2-2--0-0--5-5--2-2--5-5--1-1--0-0

 

--5-5--1-1--0-0--5-5--1-1

 

...then it does the intro riff but on the A string. You have to move you r hand around a bit in the solo. no tricks really, just practice.

[Larsen B]

for some reason i can reach the solo notes effortlessly, and i only have small hands comparitively, perhaps a gift from the gods, or not

Yeah if you want to do that for me you can do. Cheers mate

I usually leave the 0's out because I think it sounds better that way, for those with a Zoom 707, use the Ring Mod on it for the main bit, it gives a bit of a synthy vibe to it and the harmonics sound really amazing if you get the settings right

(assuming this works on 606) which setting do you have...give the whole patch.(please)

[les_muse]

any one got a tab of what matts playing in the chorus?
