      It's the part he talks about at 9:35. Although, it should be an 8 instead of a 9 on that first chord. Either way, it's an old video and I'm sure he knows it should be an 8 by now.

      Something about Jared rubs me the wrong way. I think he’s a dick. He thinks he’s the best guitarist on RUclips when he is pretty good but way to fucking cocky and so many are way better than him.

    The song is played at 120bpm *I used a taptempo while playing along with Rob*. If you are using an amp simulator such as PODfarm, that offers delay with your modelling, your setting should be 375ms, or a quaternote dotted. I hope this helps you guys.

    I was about to comment saying "Awesome, this seems pretty simple and I can start as soon as I get another high E string", but then I realized that this song doesn't use the high E at all. Next time I pick up my guitar, I'm definitely have a stab at this.
    Thanks for the tutorial on this, Rob. I really appreciate the videos.

  • @Blopub
    @Blopub 10 лет назад +26

    I'm not usually one to comment on videos, but this time I could not resist.
    I just plugged my guitar into a my bass multiFX (don't have a delay for the guitar) and added a bit of hall.
    I must admit, the first couple of minutes were a struggle just because I was not used to playing around the delay.
    But holy cannelloni!
    This song is insanely fun to play.
    Props to you! Not only have you composed a song that sounds soothing and spacious, but at the same time is challenging and makes you want to never part from your guitar.
    Thanks for the fun time :)

    If you're wondering how to set the effect he is using.. and you have an amp that you can set on tap echo by tapping, then find the tempo you will play the song at, and tap the first beat then a sixteenth note before the next beat.. that will set the reverb/tap echo to the proper setting..
