Alysum Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 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 !

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alysum Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblical Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypermusician Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I find it easier to alternate pick it if you pick it really close to the bridge... it also makes it sound better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandythrash Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even going slowly i screw up. 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Johnny Park! Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
