Hi! I'm Joe, a multi-instrumentalist songwriter and Radiohead obsessive. See me live with There, There - A Tribute to Radiohead and subscribe to this channel for covers, original songs and tutorials!
It's now almost 40 years when I discovered this song and The Smiths and I cannot express how happy I am to see this. Just brilliant. What a musician you are, and right down to the vocals. My God. I'm sure you appreciate how difficult it was for Marr to achieve that exacting oscillating tremolo/vibrato effect using analog techniques. Is that an Epiphone Casino like he used. Wow. Amazing.
I was just listening to Kid A this weekend and was wondering exactly that! I have a TC Fireworx hardware unit and I think it could pull this off, too. It's a very unusual effect. Link your cover please!
Nice video. I just covered Blood Bank by Bon Iver and he also uses some interesting tunings. I don't remember the exact tuning for Blood Bank of the dome, but he uses the b and e strings as the same note, and they're tuned pretty low. I had a broken string so I just played without the doubling effect of those strings, but it sounded great
Thom uses p90s. He uses an ES-330 to play 2+2=5 and let down. Ed also uses an Epiphone Casino. Nothing beats the clean tone of a p90. I use my staple p90 Gretsch to play Let down, Subterranean homesick alien, the tourist and Paranoid android. I have an HSS Strat and I have considered those pickups.
