    Why people asking for TABS? Andy shows you exactly what to do slowly. There was no Internet when I learned guitar,I sat there and toyed. People need to learn to do the same. It's a perfect instructional video

    • @garfield4108
      @garfield4108 5 лет назад +3

      I agree. I knackered at least three VCRs by keep rewinding and then having a go myself until I found the notes

    • @zplapplap
      @zplapplap 5 лет назад +6

      Agreed. Relying upon tabs for everything, as some clearly do, directly interferes with ear development. It also obscures understanding the fretboard and both seeing and hear intervals. He’s doing developing guitarists a favor by not spoon feeding it.

    • @garfield4108
      @garfield4108 5 лет назад +3

      @@zplapplap Absolutely. We really are a spoonfed society that just wants all the answers straight away (probably due to The internet/ Google and the ability to find everything out instantly)
      The only way to truly understand an instrument is to meddle with it and search for those answers. It's amazing what you come across inbetween.
      Instruction is always important but people need to sit and put in the hours if they want to learn. That's how I learned to transcribe which became a big part of teaching for me

      @BenMcrea61 5 лет назад +1

      I disagree. You don’t need tabs if the instructor explains what he’s doing but this guy doesn’t explain what he’s doing.

    the one big thing about the Police is the fact they would write songs based on the same overused corny progressions, but add something to it, like some cool chord extension, or mix those progressions in some peculiar way that it sounded anything but banal. they truly 'understood' what writing catchy songs was about thanks to their theoretical background and at the same time coulddo something way more than this. i know people with no taste enjoying their music, and accomplished musicians as well.

    Today, I just finished building a clone of a vintage Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress from the late 70's. Like all vintage Electric Mistress's, the heart of my Mistress is the beloved Reticon SAD1024 BBD IC chip which is almost impossible to find these days.
    As soon as I finished building it, I plugged my guitar into the Mistress whose output went straight to my amp (no other effects or distortion was used). After a few knob tweaks, I was immediately blown away by the sound of this flanger and its ability to nail The Police sound as well as many of the songs from Pink Floyd's The Wall. Simply put, this pedal alone is like having Andy Summers in a Box!!!!
    I now see why guitarists, especially those who are fans of The Police and Pink Floyd, are willing to shell out $400 to $500 for a vintage Mistress that is in good condition. This pedal sounds awesome.. My next project, which I've already started along with a clone of an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, is a clone of a vintage MXR Dyna Comp compressor (also used by The Police and Pink Floyd). I also plan to build a vintage Electro-Harmonix Small Stone Phaser. Electro-Harmonix made some great pedals in the 70's and early 80's. I regret waiting so long to add them to my pedal board.

  • @NathanHassall
    @NathanHassall 3 года назад

    Hey man firstly, I love your videos and Iv learned so much from your playing and discussion. I have a question about this song perhaps you can help me. In the second part that begins roughly 27 seconds in the song (palm muting part)...I notice the pattern Andy is using and no instruction or tab makes that part have the same variance ...do you think this segment may have been edited or doubled? You can really hear what Im talking about if you listen to the isolated guitar tracks from the original recording. Iv been driving myself crazy trying to capture that odd alien sequence of notes....all of the instruction iv seen only captures the basic idea of the pattern but its missing the notes that keep changing during the sequence making it complex (to play) while sounding simple. Please forgive my description and but I hope you know what Im talking about...any insight would be very helpful. Cheers and thank you!!

    • @ProGuitarShopDemos
      @ProGuitarShopDemos  2 года назад

      If it was the Electric Mistress, he would have used less feedback (color) which is key in making a flanger sound like a chorus. Some flangers call it Regeneration too.
