I think in the modern day world of seemingly infinite guitar effects, some people take for granted how inventive and revolutionary early Pink Floyd was, especially Syd.
Syd was the finest guitarist and influenced so many great players, including Marc Bolan, David Bowie, even Hendrix himself. Syd was off the charts talented and innovative, he was intergalactic , he really was.
100% yes. I remember listening to Piper at the Gates on a great stereo for the first time. Syd’s guitar tone shook my senses. I couldn’t believe someone could get such a complex tone, not even talking about echo, just when he strums chords. To this day, his tone and style are unmatched. It’s so explosive.
What an honor to be mentioned by the Great Lee Harris, Jed Tyler is our guitarist (Big Syd Barrett Fan) and he used the Selmer amp for all our music in the studio! Selmer is the guitar tone of Juliez Andrewz
Really cool - I've a 1969 Traynor Guitar Mate 3 installed into the carcass of a Thunderbird Twin Fifty with its original Goodmans Axioms still installed - the Goodmans are a major part of the Selmer sound. Great combo of classic Canadian and early 60's Brit!
Totally agreed. That wah and treble control/abuse is crazy. Then into those crystalline esquire/tele chords during the chorus- perfect. Syd era has way more cool and enigma in both songwriting and guitar playing than anything that came later.
It's amazed me since I was about 16 years old. That quacky fuzz wah doesn't sound like anything else from that time or any since. There's a video on here of an italian guy that recreates all those sounds with the original selmer gear, a original binson and he uses a couple different fuzz pedals and a coloursound wah. He gets apples and oranges spot on. It's unbelievable, right down to the exact same feedback squeal at the end.
Fender instead decided to give us an artists page saying Syd wasn’t a very good guitarist. Real nice, Fender. I had G&L build me a custom esquire instead.
Im not the biggest fan of the early floyd stuff but there are definitely some gems in there. Also I heard that Gilmour would always throw in a few Syd songs to his set so that Syd would make some money off the live CD/DVD's sales
I guess i’m in that state of mind all the time, bc it’s still my favorite. I don’t hear beatles influence in floyd’s psychedelia, I hear the source of it in Syd’s own chromatic scales and pointillist, painterly approach to his playing work. The tone is another thing entirely, but Sydks playing dances all over the line between chaotic noise and musicality we’re still exploring today in various genres.
Can Pete and Lee do some blindfold challenge videos like they used to do with Lee and Chappers where they choose rigs for each other, or had to make a rig on a budget? It can be the same videos but a new updated one to showcase newer products and the new store
Syd era Floyd will always be my favourite. Lucifer Sam is a song that brings me great joy and has been covered by MGMT and The Lightning Seeds in more recent years.
Saw nick mason’s saucerful tour live. I was completely blown away by how good and authentic the guitar tones were. Truly some of the best I’ve ever heard! Great to see Lee talk about gear!
Been wanting a Selmer in a can for years. I bought this pedal the second it was listed and can’t wait to get it. INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you Anderton’s Syd is my favorite guitarist ever for his tone and technique.
The Captain comes across as super square here. Early Floyd is experimental but doesn't need to be thought of as druggie music by any means. Bottom line is that you wouldn't have Gilmour as we know him without Syd's influence. Anderton doesn't even seem to know the timeline. Lots of content with Gilmour prior to Echos.
Got mine a few days ago. It's really an amazing box. Definitely not a traditional overdrive, very amp-like. It does this great almost fuzzed out lofi-ish sound, but it's also very dynamic. But it also can get that bright cleanish yet relatively smoother 60s type sound, like Kinks Kontroversy era, some Who tones, brite bitey surf stuff. It's kind of brit 60s garage in a box. Really loving it, I can't think of anything else like it.
Lol. Given the click bait title it’s unlikely that most watchers will be entranced by A Bon Jovi fan boy’s perspective of the early Floyd. God, I’m glad I grew up in the 70s not the 80s!
Syd was pure genius and was a completely true original. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a definitive album in the history of rock music and his solo albums (Madcap Laughs; Barrett) are some of the most original and haunting works of music ever recorded. They make Nick Drake sound like The Backstreet Boys. Pure artistic genius of the highest degree that has ever been achieved by man. More akin to Bach & Beethoven then later Pink Floyd.
Some great stuff into the seventies for me, but by Wish You Were Here they were obviously done, as all the boring stuff they did afterwards demonstrated
Fantastic story and great to meet the power behind bringing early Floyd back live! Lee (Captain Lee!) you really must get UmmaGumma and listen to the live version of Saucerful of Secrets. Brings the hairs on the back of your neck up!
I went to see nick masons saucerful of secrets last month,amazing live truly. And the guitar work from Lee and Gary kemp was brilliant. A great show and nick mason still a legend behind the drums. And that guitar aswell.❤️
This is straight up one of the best ever gear related vids I've ever seen and I'm not even an obsessive Floyd fan (well, maybe a little). Excellent stuff fellas, thank you!
Yes Syd influence is still certainly greater and wider than we think. I'd give just one example among many others : Syd has bent other musicians minds more than he has on Gilmour's. Take just Wire's example : listening to them is aknowledging a much greater sense of creativity / strangeness exploration than the Floyd remainings Syd left behind him... ruclips.net/video/czTTX0lLDtI/видео.html
The problen is, that, if you want to understand the music of the early floyd, you need to understand the spirit off the time, when it was produced: those days of early psychedelia, - of a subcultural breakup .... a time of experiments in sound and vision! Today we have a very "technocratical" understanding of everything... thoughts like "what kind of equipment"...
I get the early albums kind o mixed up, can't remember which song is on what album- but Ilike some of it. Not the really out there stuff- some of it is just too far gone for me- but there are a few gems hidden here and there in their early work. Syd was an amazingly talented writer and performer- but if I'm honest, I'm glad Floyd turned into what they were-- I think it suited them far better- and just look at the unbelievable music it gave us. If Syd had stayed- there would beno Comfortably Numb, no "The Wall" album at all- Syd was a totally different kind of performer. His stuff was either way out there, psychedelic sound scape style music or- pop. He had several songs that sounded a lot like the Beatles in fact.
There are a lot of opinions on this one. The Captain meets series is not where you go for the playing, people, it's about talking to interesting artists! Also, I think it's fair and sensible that The Captain tells it like he feels it. He does not connect with the early Floyd, that's ok. I for one felt this was an interesting conversation. Lee had some interesting stories to contribute, we got to learn about some old tech and how it has been revived, and those who did not knew got to learn some tidbits about the legendary Syd. Thanks for sharing!
Always been my favorite band. In 2016 I finally got to see David Gilmour in concert, which happened to be during my wife and I's 3rd wedding anniversary that week, he announced his North American tour dates as we put in our vacation time off. It restarted a love of playing for me, I had stopped playing out of frustration and depression and thankfully haven't put it down since then. A few weeks after the concert and boasting all over Facebook about the show I was contacted by an author that was putting together personal recollections of Pink Floyd Concerts and had asked more my contribution. Jump to the winter of 2019 my wife then surprises me with tickets to see Roger Waters and of course Covid happened, but after waiting two years we're finally going this July. All I need now is a chance to see Nick Mason's group to complete the Pink Floyd circle as much as possible these days.
On Saucerful, Syd played slide/guitar on Remember a Day, and supposedly played bass on Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun. Plus both Scream Thy Last Scream and Vegetable Man were recorded for that album (and/or a single for that album) but were not used.
If they had included Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream.......holy smokes, their 2nd album would have just been too awesome......especially if they had left "One in a Million" the original instead of making it Corporal Klegg.
As well as the Instrumentals known as “sunshine”, plus the unfinished “Beechwoods”, and all the random takes of “have you got it yet”s. When you add it all up, there was quite a bit of Syd material recorded for it & it’s obvious that at some point the decision was made to remove most of it. I wish they’d make a full-length “in the studio” release of Saucerful, to let us in to that explosively creative moment in time.
Saw these guys ('Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets') a few weeks ago at Sheffield City Hall, two years after the original date. They were bloomin' excellent, absolutely brilliant. I took pictures of all their pedal boards before the kick off, lots of lovely things.
Great video! I'm a massive Syd geek and for me is the essential era of PF. Captain, you gotta go back and listen again. There is a great compilation- An Introduction to Syd Barrett released in 2010. Give it a go 👍
I am Selmer, I am watching and I'm dying for somebody to start remaking those amps. I keep almost buying old Selmer amps on Reverb where the only two things keeping me back are: 1. The price 2. The knowledge that they'd blow the doors out of my mancave. Whoever owns the Selmer amp brand, please bring out an affordable amp at attenuates and I'll be throwing my money at you :D
@@vask8ers1 I'm sure there are. I only have experience with the Rockcrusher and the Motherload Elemental which I also really liked, my friend has a couple he got second hand. Unfortunately it's a fixed load and I only opted for the Rivera because its switchable between 8 & 16 Ohm
I'm not sure what this guy's smoking, but David Gilmour was knocking it out of the park, guitar-wise, from the opening track of Saucer Full of Secrets. He certainly wasn't "learning to play guitar."
Pipers is the best Floyd album...also relics is amazing..but some of syds solo stuff is just as good ..but didn't have much effort in the production .which I like ...just raw syd Barrett n a acoustic
you don't have to be on "substances" to connect with early pink floyd. And there's SO much more to pink floyd than the "solo on comfortably numb".... come on captain!!!
Absolutely. Music is just background noise for school runs and computer games these days. Back in the 70s we listened to the Floyd in a dark room late at night- that's all you need, a conducive atmosphere.
Fab video! Nice to hear the Scarlet Tunic in isolation after hearing it the night before this video at the Saucerful of Secrets show in Croydon. In case anyone was wondering what strings are on the Esquire - Lee uses Rotosound Roto Yellows 10-46 😁
I have the 70th anniversary Fender Esquire, one reason why I bought it is Syd, might need to invest in that pedal, damn GAS.. I saw Saucerful of Secrets couple of weeks ago, amazing show! Great video, thank you!
Check out David Bowie rendition of Arnold Layne with Dave G and the band at the RA hall, it’s uncanny. My 1st Floyd gig was the perfect moon shot at Earls Court.
I first heard Pipers when I was about 15, so around 19 years ago and thought it was the weirdest thing ever, but I loved it and have done ever since. As great as the interview was, I’m happier to hear that Nick Mason sounds like such a stand up guy.
I've got a Peavey TNT Bass rig which puts out 80 watts of thump if needed, but also use two other separate amps to punch out 25 watts of high tone. Of course tone from 2 separate Blackstar Flys and 1 Blackstar Fly bass amp for tone compressor while the 2 Flys produce my third delay tones. Yes, got bass compression and delay but have all tied via an MXR and seven other pedals, mostly Boss for overall tone. I think it is cool to have a Selmar but instead: if I might say, use it to create your tones at home and use the power brutes for stage or rehearsal. I also have a 100 watt mosfet Marshall racket power amp that drives a 4-12 cab MX version for tighter lows which is and will be my stage and rehearsal rig.
I won't say, "it's a _good_ tone". And I can't say that I'd have any real use for one of these. But I _can_ say that I want one. Although...without that iconic "eye light" that pulses along with the tremolo...it's just not as cool sounding.
I think in the modern day world of seemingly infinite guitar effects, some people take for granted how inventive and revolutionary early Pink Floyd was, especially Syd.
No idea how they get the delays in Emily.
You and I and dominoes, time goes by...
My first amp was a Selmer Treble 'n' Bass, still got it, currently sitting in the corner of my living room.
great amps. Wish I still had mine!!
Yes, had one of those, long gone.
Aargh! I literally put mine in a rubbish bin in 1980 I was so annoyed by it and couldn't get on with it. It probably needed a good service....
So lucky.
I envy you
Syd was the finest guitarist and influenced so many great players, including Marc Bolan, David Bowie, even Hendrix himself. Syd was off the charts talented and innovative, he was intergalactic , he really was.
yes! I'm glad someone is here to say this - Syd was a genius
I think he equated music with colors, and he was just and example of pure artistic expression. It is sad that it could not have lasted longer.
18:33 - i’m surprised there isn’t a KEMPER profile of a Selmer T&B somewhere out there…?🤷♂️

It's the only PF era I like. Hasn't been anything like it since.
@@bristlefist Because it's objectively a lot better

"I'm happy with people who say, 'For me, Pink Floyd was really Syd Barrett. After that it went downhill.'" - Nick Mason
did he really say that?
I don't think over 100 mil in records sold, and one of the most popular and loved bands in the world could be considered downhill from anything.
He wore a scarlet tunic, and blue green hood it looked quite good.
Syd was an original genius artist not some minor pentatonic copyist.
I have a mint copy of Syd Barrett's album: The Madcap Laughs. Great solo album.
Yep I have that on vinyl and also Opel.

Did Syd actually have a tone or did he just pick up the guitar, fiddle around with some knobs and say, “Alright. I’m a salami sandwich,”?

I think it is cool to have a Selmar but instead: if I might say, use it to create your tones at home and use the power brutes for stage or rehearsal. I also have a 100 watt mosfet Marshall racket power amp that drives a 4-12 cab MX version for tighter lows which is and will be my stage and rehearsal rig.
The lip smacking in this video is out of control
Thank You. I would recommend a listen to The Dukes of Stratosphere (aka XTC)
I saw them at the usher hall in Edinburgh recently and they were amazing !! the tone that both lee and Gary have is epic..goosebumps
Pink Floyd is one of the most overrated bands in music history. Along with Aerosmith, The Who, Thin Lizzy etc. etc.
Piper at the gates of dawn is an absolute masterpiece
Saw Lee with Saucerful of Secrets a few weeks ago at Sheffield City Hall, they were incredible. Worth going to see.
Where is the demo?
Andertons does some fantastic videos, this is one of them. 👏 ✌️
22 minutes of talking---and then somebody plays a Telecaster through a Fuzz box. Ridiculous. This is "cork sniffing" taken to a new level
Nick Mason's drumming on early Floyd is just amazing
Guy Pratt?! When?!
I won't say, "it's a _good_ tone".
And I can't say that I'd have any real use for one of these.
But I _can_ say that I want one.
Although...without that iconic "eye light" that pulses along with the tremolo...it's just not as cool sounding.
