Twinscreamer
Dec 14, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
The first thing that crosses a guitar players mind when talking about a Fender amp and a Tubescreamer pedal is screaming blues ala Stevie Ray Vaughan. Still, many forget that there is a sea of sounds to explore using only basic guitar sound effects. The other day I was alone in a rehearsal room and [...]

Pink Floyd – Echoes: The Seagull Effect
Nov 20, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
In a second part of the epic Pink Floyd song Echoes from their 1971 album Meddle there is an awkward psychodelic three minute part that creates a strange mood and reminds of a seagull flying above your head. This part lasts from around 11th minute until 15th minute of the song (the song itself lasts [...]

Adrian Belew – Elephant Talk
Nov 12, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
Adrian Belew is another guitar sound wizard that is always exploring new sonic grounds and new guitar sound effects. Whether in other projects (David Bowie, Talking Heads, King Crimson,..) or projects of his own, he always uses an embarassing ammount of gear and is always keen to try new devices. Belew says that his inspiration [...]

On the Edge of U2
Oct 29, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
There is a dual secret behind the wall of sound of U2 and their guitar player known as Edge. The first one is clean sound and the second one is analog delay. For the amp, any clean amp should do the work. I can only recommend Fender Twin Reverb, Vox AC 30, Roland JC120. But [...]

Rage Against The Machine – Sleep Now In The Fire
Oct 29, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
Tom Morello is famous for his mixture of styles (blues based rock riffs, funk, heavy metal, punk, hip hop…) as well as an innovative use of guitar sound effects. His revolutionary guitar playing comes from the whole new approach to it. Besides classical playing (strums, riffs and solos) he makes music of scratches, beats, noises, [...]

David Bowie Sound – Ashes To Ashes
Oct 27, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
I must admit I had some hard time with this one. There are two guitars recorded on this song that are played differently rhythm-wise. The sound of each guitar is different as well but pretty simple for both of them (different EQ settings). And it is possible to make this song sound good with just [...]

Trying to Sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan?
Oct 26, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
It is a well known fact that the easiest way to acquire that thick, juicy, sought after sound of graet Stevie Ray Vaughan (besides heavy fingerwork and a strong right hand technique) is by using an old Fender Stratocaster (1959 preferably) with vintage type pickups ( Fender Fat 50s or Tex Mex), Fender Vibroverb amp [...]

Messing with a Guitar Sound – My Sound
Oct 23, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
This is an audio clip of me jamming with my band in our rehersal place. It is kind of seventies rock jam. This is not here to showcase my playing, musical ideas or my band and our musical style (we play many styles not just this one). So dont get judgemental on mistakes, quality of [...]

Guitar Sound Effects – Pink Floyd – Have A Cigar
Oct 22, 2009 Guitar Sound Experience
This one was rather easy. But without the right effect it is next to impossible. The key effect I am talking about is a PHASER. Without one you wont be able to get that signature guitar intro to the song which is present through the most of the song. The phaser I use is BOSS [...]
