Title speaks for itself! What an absolute tune. Has any brave guitarist clocked the guitar or even the synth strings?

[haze015]

Cm, Eb, Ab, Fm

[action_faust]

he plays it with a capo ( on the 3rd fret) doesn't he?

 

just like:

 

e:-------------1-----1---------------------|

B:---1----1----1-----3---------------------|

G:---2----0----2-----2---------------------|

D:---2----2----3-----0---------------------|

A:--------3----3---------------------------|

C:-----------------------------------------|

 

sounds right to me

[Adqeruin]

ever watched a vid; no capo

well those are the chords he plays, just without a capo (so the first chord is x35543 and work from there)

 

I'm still not convinced it's in drop c, but the fact he plays an open string during the break after the first verse it's entirely possible... just doesn't seem that sensible tbh

i got a vid from the bush gig, i'll upload it later and send on the link

not great but it might help :-)

[Rokit]

what kind of effect does matt use on that song?

[AstroPenguin]

what kind of effect does matt use on that song?

 

yeah, is it just a loop that plays, or is he actually playing? cuz the first performance of that song they played was all a track except for the vocals, so they were just pretending to play the isntruments

[OD-Musik]

It seems he is playing standard barre chords in standard tunning, with a backing track playing in a drop c tunning to me.

[Rokit]

on the italian video it seems that doms drums have silencer type thingys on the tops of them(dont play drums so dont know what they are)

yeah that is why i think all the instruments are a track, cuz those things mute the drums. only the vocals are live

perhapse this vid will sort it out (not playbacked)

[Rokit]

i think thats fake too

[Doog]

jeez... ok just do a search for the shepherds bush performance, or the channel 4 performance, or the stockholm performance... are you saying they're "faking" it every time they play it?

[Rokit]

im saying the ones that are on tv are fake not shepards bush that not fake because its not exactly the track

[kp...]

its quite clearly not fake, uv got morgan mucking about with the synths in the background and mattg playing the whole mighty 4 chords on the chords on the guitar, and it is nowhere near the same as the recorded version!

thats a cool guitar! who did the metalwork?

[kp...]

a friend who makes custom scratchplates, basically he's really good at finishing off edges n stuff and i said would like a metal front for ma guitar and i said i didnt want it any of the finishes mr matt bellamy has on his guitars,

 

the material is actually out of an old series one land rover, so it has some age to it as well

 

oh and also a custom effects company (obbFX) did the wiring etc...

[muse12]

i am really a guitar noob and don't understand chords (only tabs) but what is are the notes (tab-numbers/strings) when the guitar tuned down to drop c?

[jpatrick]

e:-0----x----x----x--|
B:-1----3----x----x--|
G:-0----3----x----x--|
D:-1----3----6----3--|
A:-3----1----6----3--|
C:-0----x----8----5--|
 Cm    Bb   G#   Fm

 

Rest of the tab is here.

[reverendmaynard]

it's not in drop c

[~NoblameNoshame~]

it's not in drop c

 

It is....matts playing the low notes on the low "E" tunned to C

 

For example - The intro

 

C-0---3---8---5-

 

chords are something like

 

e---------

b-4-4-4-6-

g-5-3-5-5-

d-5-5-6-3-

a-3-6-6-3-

c----------

 

Im not sure if he's playing High E notes...just add em if you want:)

[prol]

The effect he uses is some kinda of delay preset effect, I achieved something like it before with a mates effects unit in my college studio, just can't find the sodding name of the thing.

O RLY?

no it's actually not delay at all. It's a sequenced pitch shifter effect made by using the nord Modular G2 rack. done.
