Dramatic Hammer Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Shockingly, I agree with BKack here - I read an interview where Matt said they put the keyboard through the Fender, as the bandpass effect makes it much easier to fit the piano into the mix (as you know Chris uses a massive frequency range already). I don't know if they use it for all the keyboard sounds or just the piano though...... Edit: he beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroPenguin Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 right before each chorus they have that loud thing fade in, (that windy effect, dont know what to call it) does anyone have any idea how they made it or what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just Matt screaming or something wasn't it? I always hear in lots of songs they have wierd fady bits, I wish I knew how to make them so my recordings would sound better.

Synth (strings/breath/air presets etc) + cymbal roll would probably be your best best for recreating it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the "widy" bit just before: "This... is... the last time I.. abandon you!... and this is....! the last time I forget you" e.t.c.? If so. I reckon its some weird effect used in the recording studio. You must be a bit picky if you need it in a cover performance. What do you want to know for?

Jabnit Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 well, that would be known as the chorus, as the guy said. I'm not too familiar with that song so I just thaught I would try to narrow it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm not too familiar with that song so I just thaught I would try to narrow it down a bit. If it's the sound I think it is, theres one starting at 1:24/5 in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroPenguin Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i already made a pretty dead on version of the backing track to the chorus with all the synth and piano and stuff. just had that one loud part before the chorus to figure out. anyone know anywhere i can upload the synth backing track so u guys can hear it?

Guest anonymousanimal Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I've seen some weirdness in S.S tabs. they seem to add to mainy open notes into the beginning section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindness Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Most of the tabs out there are right, just play it really fast, if it helps play it on a lower octave. I think it has some sort of midi effect on it that makes it sound like a sequencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Sorry for bumping an old-ish thread, but I have a question. I can't play the SS intro riff on one of my guitars, the string keeps getting caught on the pick. Should I lower the action or adjust the intonation or something? (I can play it fine on my other guitar) This guitar just buzzes and the string keeps getting in the way. Thanks.

ReinierK Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 check out the US version of the SS video. great close up on matt's fingers as he plays the intro riff But Matt always plays it weird For starters, he plays it (picking) close to the neck... IMHO that's quite a waste of energy, since the strings amplitude is greater there... I pick it more towards the bridge (but that makes it sound a bit more treble-ish)... Second, he rests his hand (fingers) on one of his pickups. I know his joints are hyper flexible, so he seems to pick 'in-line' with the string, but it doesn't help me. Resting my hand on the bridge is somewhat more comfortable for me, but you can also pick it with your hand floating. Third, his fretting fingers are lifted way to high above the string imho, it looks like he is 'hitting' the strings with his fretting hand, almost like a very hard hammer-on (but for that, you kinda bend your fingers more)... So I personally don't think it's a good idea to adapt Matt's technique esp. for SS My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 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 ? you may aswell use alternate picking, if you're just using down, then there's no reason as to why you shouldn't use the alternate method. think about it, every time you play a down stroke, you need to pull the plec back up in order to play the next down, so why not do an up-pick after the down.

Jabbin Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 This may already have been asked but I cant go through the whole thread! In the tab book it says the "solo" is played: D:- 8-5-0-8-5-0-8-5-7-3-0-7-3-0-7-3-5-2-0-5-2-0-5-2-5-1-0-5-1-0-5-1 But on the American video he plays it differently, like up around the 12th fret ... Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
