    There's never been a question for me that that was a single note. 'Playing the effect' is even more prevalent in bass. You can find so many bass covers on RUclips you see people playing the kick drum as additional bass notes.

    This delay used musically is pushed all the way in the song "Hina" from D L R's Skyscraper, by Vai of course.
    But the first master of this was Brian may! He used modified tape echoes, with extended tape travel and head position to construct 3 way harmonies with him self. Outstanding.

    It doesn't even sound as trill. It's more like A repeated second time, a little lower in volume. Just like delay would do. I wouldn't use the trill when without delay; I would just repeat the A note with a little less dynamic.

    Nice Video, Good to see these analytical videos, one song that's bugged for years is the guitar solo in ( The One and Only ) by Chesney Hawks. Basically it's the really fast guitar outro run , which everyone seems to have it different version and the harmonic bit in the middle.
    Would really love a definitive answer to what is actually played.
    thanks

    I didn't hear a trill. I wonder what those people think of Edge's parts. Let's be honest... it's hard to guess unless you see a clear video and that still may not be enough, especially with tons of effects, multiple instruments and other overdubs. I've found errors in the big white Beatles music book that covers their entire collection!
    Good job to you!

    Wtf is wrong with some people's ears? There's NEVER been a trill in that part. The notes just ring out. Seriously, get your hearing checked if you're one of the people who thought Mike wasn't playing that part right, your hearing is wired backwards or something.
    EDIT: Okay, I know what's happening. People have been playing the solo off tabs and just mindlessly following along with them without considering that maybe the person who originally laid it out was wrong, but everyone just copied off of those wrong tabs and now they all assume that's how it's played, even managing to convince themselves they hear a trill at that part when there isn't one. There is no trill. There never was.

    Thanks for addressing my comment. I'm talking about the original recording, not the various live versions on youtube. In the original album version, he trills on the very first one of each phrase, but not every one. It's like: 5 4-5-4, 5 4, 5 4, /7. If it was caused by a delay pedal, it would happen on every one, not just the first of each phrase.
    He's a monster guitarist and musician in general, so it's inevitable that these discussions are going to happen.

    • @sqidvishus
      @sqidvishus 22 дня назад +7

      There is no trill. The reason you don't hear it every time is because he varies the note length on occasion, meaning when Prince held the note longer, it didn't have the delay snap back in the same spot. When he cut it off sooner, you'd hear the delay. It's pretty obvious that the second note is not fingered. It's just delay.
