Hey! If you're wondering about how my guitar is running into the computer, I suggest you check out this video (if you finished this one): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-awzXNl30lKg.html (How To Record Guitar)

@uchihaitachi27 5 лет назад

Paul Davids next time try to find like BB king sound,SRV,Jimi Hendrix or Steve Vai,that would be awsom ps:you have a super great videos👍

@Bartisoft 5 лет назад

I was wondering the same thing...did you record these samples using amps and mics like the suggested video?...or is it fully software recording system?. Is it like....guitar to audio interface...Bias Fx 2 capturing and processing the signal...and sending it to a computer speaker ??. BTW...that Bias FX2 software sounds pretty badass. Great video Paul !!. Thanks for sharing. I'm seriously considering buying that Bias FX2.

I’m a bit naive with using computer effects as I’ve always used a Roland Cube or other modulating bedroom amps pretty much. Where would be a good place to start if I want to start getting involved in this use of digital effects?

The Music Guy's I think the slightly de-tuned B string is actually a big part of this riffs magic. It really sweetens the sound to my ear. Wonder if it was intentional or just a happy accident in the studio?!

Recreating the sound in Money For Nothing is actually impossible :D Not sure, but i think Paul said it once in a Video. And that even Mark Knopfler doesn't know how they made this sound so perfect. Guess they were all drunk as hell and wanted to record, plugged everything in and somehow this magic just happened.

@ston3rsnail 5 лет назад

Alex Mercer Knopfler is not that guy. He is a fuckin’ skilled player. Knows all jazz, classicals, music theory, great playing skills. Hendrix, Santana, SRV, Gilmour, etc. Theye are one of a kind players! You’ll never sound like them. Also keep in mind, they could do the magic on your rig(fot those who have the main part of their rig)

Money For Nothing is a wah pedal in the mid position but don't touch it. Mental

@BoxOfSnoo 5 лет назад

Yes, but originally it was an accident/experiment in setup, not a wah. The amp mics were set up pointing all over the room, they were nowhere near where they were supposed to be. They were just naturally out of phase. He had to use a wah to replicate it later.

@AleksandarStanojkovic 5 лет назад

Mayer's main reverb is a bricasti m7. The spring reverb was added on a separate track just for the muted kick. The compression was done before the amp, and a bit after the amp. :) The rest wasn't really that complicated :) P.s. since you can choose the mics, it was prolly recorded with a md421 close, a ribbon and a u87 a feet away (off center)

@leandronozela1539 5 лет назад

Hey Paul, hope you're doing fine. One thing I realized having fun with some EQ in bias FX, is that if you boost a little bit in the high mids range (before the amp) it will give a boost to that strat snap, and that could be what's missing to john's tone! Cheers from Brazil! (Hope I'm not talking BS)

Keep it up buddy, "A" quality entertainment with nice musical education, awesome content!!! Cheers from Utrecht!!!

@edwardmowatful 4 года назад

Excellent video! I think a couple of aspects of Frusciante's lead tone was the 'cone cry' overtones of the speaker getting driven hard at high volumes - quite likely as he was using a plexi driven hard during this album. I know UAD factor this in with their cab modelling. Also, on the record Frusciante uses slide for the solo (likely the most prominent effect on his sound) which will create resonant overtones from the string resonating from the slide back to the nut, which in turn colours the pitches being picked up between the slide and the bridge.

@petergrun7985 5 лет назад

Santana, Mark Knopfler, BB King, Slash (Sweet Child Solo) would be fun, Paul!

@Lickoftheweak 5 лет назад

Great Video! You could have mentioned the pickup used too. I think Frusciante is using a slide on the last solo which effects the tone a lot.
