Would love to see “Recreating The Sound” as a new series!
Yes PLEASE!
Great idea. I think he'll pick up on it.
Yessss! I'd love to hear many artist on this series!
Yes
cliffs of dover would be nice
Oh man - this 'mimic the sound' could be a whole series onto itself! I love it.
To the top people!great idea!
This is it chief
Good idea
It already is. Outstanding idea and execution by Rick, as usual. 🙂
Oh yeah!
Though not being a musician myself it seems that John Paul Jones's bass really drove this tune, it was like a driving force.
The song is nearly unrecognizable without it. JPJ is an absolute musical genius. I've been playing for 35 years and, in my opinion, this is not only his best work but one of the top 5 best rock basslines of all time.
As a bass player I agree!
100% right
Bassist here, this is my favorite LZ song :)
As strange as it may sound, the bass makes this song great as does the bass in Duran Durban’s Planet Earth. Completely different songs but equivalent impact.
Rick has a passing curiosity about a song; goes out and buys the guitar.
I don't think passing curiosity quite covers it.
Mania.
Very cool detective work. Valuable.
I know. Right 😁
The trick with Rick’s videos is to watch them immediately...before the take-down. Lol
lol Good point Visionland Music
This wins the Internet today!!!
That was my thought, exactly!
Lol...'specially when he plays known blockers
@@hammill444 It's often the label, and not the artists who own the rights. Paul McCartney got outbid on the rights to the Beatles' catalog....
This Recreating the Sound thing would be a really cool series.
Friday Fret Works has done a couple, but he's focused on electric guitar... expanding this to other instruments would be a very useful thing, even if you don't want to get exactly "that" sound... just to point you in a different creative direction!!
Absolutely agree! Doctor Mix does deconstruction/reconstruction videos on his channel occasionally, and I find them SO interesting. Picking a song apart, just like with "What Makes This Song Great" gives a whole new level of appreciation for music and the work that goes into creating it.
Rick, you’re a national treasure. The amount of time, effort, expense, and passion you put into videos like this is nothing short of heroic.
This particular guitar part really struck a nostalgic nerve, but watching you bang away at duplicating the sound was my treat for the day. We’re probably twin sons of different mothers, except I’m way older than you! One of my greatest pleasures in life has been the hours I spent crawling around the innards of a piece a piece of music and learning how the nuts and bolts work together to produce the magic that attracted me to it. Thank you for all you do! Stay well.
Cool comment. And agree, only for me Rick is like the cool neighbor down the street with all the cool gear i want to learn about from the music store.
... to me music doesn’t have “ nuts and bolts” , but rather artistic and poetic components that verge upon life and nature itself...
The snare in Tomorrow Never Knows. Such a wonderful snap that holds together the washy cymbals.
I always liked that. Had that kind of ‘proto-breakbeat’ thing going on, similar to what Silver Apples did a few years later.
I would definitely love to know how they got Ringo's cymbals to ring out for days on day in the life
Matthew Kwiatkowski interesting fact about the piano, they applied rising gain as the piano sustain started to fade. All Beatles played the same ending chord on the piano. You can hear the gain increase to the point where you can hear Ringo’s chair creak at the end as he shifts.
It wouldn't be complete if you didn't do the tom in that beat as well.
The three back-to-back-to-back Hendrix solos on "All Along the Watchtower". That needs some analysis.
well, i guess we can go straight to god level then!
Oh great idea
Agree. And also the intro rhythm guitar...
Songful Music Of Songs I think that’s Dave Mason on a 12-string when he did sessions with Hendrix on Electricladyland..
Rick can actually tell where Jimmy strums on the strings just by hearing, that is what sheer experience gives you. Amazing
I'm plain dumbstruck by that. Been "playing" (read: maj scale noodling) for 4 or 5 years now and this is just a whole new bracket of skill
The strings definitely sound different depending on where they are struck, but hearing that in the tapes is a skill I'm going to have to work on.
@@aafjeyakubu5124 I know, right. I mean, it is such a good example of the dept of the sound analysis done here. Just to recognize a particular acoustic guitar model by ear is beyond me, doing that in the context of a post produced and mastered tape recording and figuring out the way it was strummed is a whole other level.
Yeah I'm sure Rick is right, and guessing that Jimmy wanted to keep his hand away from the sound hole so the mike would pick up more sound
that would be basic guitar awareness (different tone/sound produced by where you strum it) not so much years of experience. And his friend identified the guitar by the picture and not by ear. And I don't think Jimmy strummed the guitar away from the sound hole so the microphone would pick up more sound. He did so to get a different sound out of the guitar.
I feel like Jimmy did a lot of work in the studio to master the guitar sounds on the albums...recreating his sound is pretty amazing
As soon as you started strumming closer to the bridge the Sound and the tone was spot on. I don’t know anything about music or what you’re talking about but I always understand you. Thats why I watch almost every video. Thanks.
You can see Rick enjoys every second of his job
I love this!
@@RickBeato And we love it too!
@@RickBeato Hi Rick. Just finished watching this video over a few times. I have an EKO Ranger Xll jumbo from new many years ago (I'm 70 yo now and had it since I was about 19 yo). It is Italian made and looks identical to the Vox. Shape, scratch plate ( which was destroyed by winter frosts in the boot of my car) bridge (yes adjustable too but 12 string ) ,also with the bolted backplate. Everything about that guitar sounds like mine even to this day ( Even better now imo ). It has quite a few dings in it too. Cracks from the cold overnight frost put cracks in the thick lacquered finish.
Many years ago I discovered one of my fav bands called Family had a great guitarist called Charley (John ) Whitney and he played the same guitar as mine. I never knew this at the time until my brother pointed it out to me. (not sure if his was 12 or six string but the 12 string sounds much better imo ) I compared the two guitars because my sister bought the 6 string version year after. The likeness is uncanny to the Vox. I'm from the UK and now in Australia for 17 years. Even though the scratchplate is no longer there, The outline of the glue where it was is clearly visible. Is the Vox Italian made by any chance? It would be an interesting thing to find out maybe. Thanks for making those outstanding videos. He plays the 12 string on his Streetwalkers band on a track called My Friend the sun. Hope you like them. Roger Chapman one of my singing heroes was leader of both Family and Streetwalkers. :)
We enjoy watching.
That unbridled enthusiasm is what brings me back to Rick's videos. Bravo!!!
Ok..! Rick researches and determines the exact guitar, finds one, buys it, ...recreates studio ambience AND has enough ear to figure out Page is banging near the back bridge...etc, etc....
All this just blows my mind.. Beato is some kind of an amazing dude...
LOVE IT....!!!!!
That picture is when Jimmy was recording a song that never made it on the record called LaLa. This was revealed by him in an interview with Jeff Koons. It was released on the remasters last song on the second disc of Led Zeppelin II. Having said that I'm sure he probably used the same guitar for Ramble On as it was "around". However, from the look of the headstock logo it looks to be an Eko which is the same guitar under a different label.
I've read that it was an Eko Ranger, but there is also an interview which says Jimmy used his Harmony Sovereign H1260 on Ramble On. We may never know for sure but it makes for some great stories and reading!
@@svdd10 Exactly, Eko Ranger. Jimmy has also Played Eko Ranger 12-string guitars on stage as well.
The photo was from Olympic Studios in London (LaLa was recorded there) and Ramble On was recorded a few months later in Groove Sound in NY. It was most likely a different guitar and mic
@@skoneal007 I did not know that Jimmy played an EKO Ranger on stage. What tour was that on ? I know he played em in the studio - I don't recall seeing live pics of one.
The hotel California live acoustic 6 strings and the gibson both upper neck intro sound and the bottom neck amp configurations
Cant do it, Don Henley would sue for copyright infringement.
@@randyvanvliet226 aka Col. Sanders with a resentment.
Recreate Andy Summers guitar sound on Synchronicity II.
Amen!
THANK YOU
THIS
Good call!
Wow I think you just invented ‘Forensic Musicology’
yeah! although it would be more something like 'contemporary music archaeology'
Was thinking the same thing
think a vst that could do what Rick dose here two tracks target and emulation, suggest add EQ too here more less compression, longer tail on your reverb in a smaller room mixed back 35%wet ect
\
Next week: digging Jango’s grave for answers
Ramble On is my favorite Zeppelin tune. I’m glad you pay so much attention to it...
And you are such a sound and gear nerd, I f* love it!! Yeah I mostly heard more top-end 12k on Jimmy and you fixed that. I didn’t notice initially but you are dead-on that going closer to the bridge picked up the rhythmic clicking he got with the pick sound. By the end you totally got it! Frickin’ love this tune! Find myself listening to more Rain Song as time goes on though too-Rain Song doesn’t get enough love-really cool harmonies.
“I’ve got a Gibson, without a case, and I can’t even get that even-tanned look on my face”🤣🤣
Jimmy also played Eko Acoustics too, you can find pictures of him with a 12 string from the 60's. The Vox V238 Country Western guitar was manufactured for Vox by the Italian guitar manufacturer, Eko. The Vox Country Western was essentially a rebadged Eko Ranger 6 guitar (which I have).
Can’t believe you bought the guitar needed to recreate the sound! Too cool. Love your videos.
It's nothing more than pure dedication to the artform, great work indeed.
@@TieDyeKitty It's nothing more than sad as fuck. Peopl e need to go write some music and record it however, stop fucking trying to recreate stuff that people just made in the past just as it was!!!
@@V081WLBlue sad as fuck. wow.
It's not the guitar that Jimmy used. Page's was an E-ROS guitar from Italy. It's in the Light And Shade book. That is also not the right microphone, but Rick got an ok tone.
The acoustic sound of Jimi Hendrix “All along the the watchtower” brushy tone
Maybe he could interview Dave Mason!
@@honeychilerider Not sure if Dave would want to recount that - I've read that Hendrix chewed him out because he kept messing the rhythm up.
You mean Bob Dylan's All along the watchtower.
@@TLofHTown Could have been JIMI'S choice of drug chewing out Dave also
✌️oh yeeah!
Can you try to to recreate Mark Knopfler's "Money for Nothing" guitar sound?
Well I just know the "false" way of doing it with a Wah about 1/3 in and a Single-Coil overdriven guitar. But I know it somehow was an accident originally
On a strat: bridge + middle pickup, tone knop down. (Knopfler played a paula, though)
@@Fitzliputzli23 Well guess you never learn enough :) Didn't know he played a Paula, but it sounds quite allright with my SG, so :D
@@Fitzliputzli23 that's how I've always done it as well, kind of like a woman tone with the pickups out of phase deal going on. A wah on top of that probably wouldn't hurt, either.
Isn’t that sound mostly just a square wave pedal and Knopfler’s patented semi-finger style technique finding some sympathetic harmonics for the squeaky bits?
The way you hear and analyse any song and then just jump on pretty much any instrument and play it pretty much perfectly just blows me away! I think your skills are as good as anyone's Rick!
As a bass player Ramble On was a major teaching point on melody. I'd love to see the recreation of JPJ bass line. Very cool video.
John's Bass really sets the mood on that track....He's Incredible
One of the rare songs where you hum the bass line first when it’s stuck in your head.
Recreate the sound of my wife telling me, *" no, you can't have a drum room".*
Low pass filter will take care of that.
Evry teim I crie 😢
*rustling of divorce papers hitting the nightstand*
Papi Thads thats only if he doesnt listen, and i mean who wouldnt? That’s just crazy
No one wants to hear that.
The snare sound on All These Things That I've Done by The Killers would be a great one to reproduce. Excellent work, Rick!
I’ve always been drawn to this song and have tinkered with it for the past 5 decades. I’ve always thought of it as a simple vamp between E and Asus chords. But the melody seems to be a blend of E pentatonic and E mixolydian scales. Brilliant! My admiration for Jimmy Page continues to grow.
Pink Floyd's 'Dogs' from 4m50s to 6m50, particularly the electric guitar solo there
what about it?
@@matth9321 where you listening to what Rick says at the end you doofus?
I think Ramble On is a true display of the raw sounds that each of the members of LZ brought to the table. Page, Bonham, Plant, and Jones are true legends of their instruments!
This is amazing! Would love to hear “Over the hills and far away” live 1972 I think it was in Long Beach, CA. Before it was on the album, it was electric and rocked out, not acoustic. That guitar tone is amazing! 🤘
Dude. This is your new series. This was amazing!!
Y'know, I was in the drum room of my house the other day, when suddenly I realized that my house doesn't have a f***in drum room.
James J LLlOoOlLoLOOolLlLlLllLL...... deep breath..... LlLlOoOoLLloLlLooLLLLooOl
This is the episode i knew i wanted that i never knew that i wanted that i want.
What is best about all of Rick's generosity in his shared discoveries is he remains an excited student and mentor. His experience constantly shows the process is as valuable as the product. Thanks Rick for consistently valuing and modelling learning as an end in itself.
Excited about this new series, Rick! Thanks for all you do!
I'd love to see Jimmy Page's reaction. Hopefully, he'd be flattered Rick did this.
Jimmy Page is the kind of guy that would take a few minutes to talk with RIck on a video call and discuss the "strumming near the bridge" element. He looks a bit cold but I think he has a good heart when he's in a good mood.
Me: I can't find anything exciting in RUclips anymore.
Rick Beato: Hold my soundboard!
Got Neev?
Unbelievable. Great stuff Rick. When you played it closer to the bridge you nailed it. Even without the D30, the acoustic space and all the subtle electronics the character definitely changed into what we all know and love.
Truly brilliant Rick! Obsessed with these videos of yours!
I always loved the sound of George Harrison's acoustic on My Sweet Lord
All of the guitar sounds off ATMP are amazing. Let it down the acoustic version is amazing.
Phil Spector helped. Also the concert for Bangladesh is brilliantly produced.
I hope he does If not for you, My sweet Lord and All Things must Pass
There’s like six acoustics on that song
Fun fact, such a masterpiece was recorded using one of the cheapest and most common guitars made in Italy: Vox acoustics were produced by Eko ("made in Italy" during those years was the same as "made in China" nowadays), using everything except solid woods and were the most affordable string instruments avaible here in Italy from the 60's to the late 80's. I can say that almost every teenager from my times (I'm 45) has cursed the project of the bolt on neck for it's instability and has been grateful to the company for selling the perfect instrument for beach serenades (thick varnish, bolt on bridge, plywood) and summer loves. Long life to these old babies and thanks, Maestro Beato, for your priceless job!
Felice Zaccheo interesting. I just commented that I have an Eko Ranger that looks and sounds just like the one in the video. And yes to the thick varnish. You could paddle a boat all day and not bother it. Ha
@@zaum2002 Actually the "Ranger" model by Eko is the same guitar: I still have a 12 strings "Electra", equipped with a magnetic pickup, the "official" 12 strings in Italy during the 70's 🙂
Wow, that's very interesting. Goes to show that it's not the guitar, it's the player that makes the magic happen.
@@Geotubest 100% true! Also, sometimes in music production there's need for non conventional sounds and that's why I still have my Eko and lots of other cheap sisters from the past
No surprise there. Hand John Mayer a $100 Squire strat and he'll still sound exactly like John Mayer. It's about the player, not the expensive guitar
From Glasgow, Rick. I've been playin BTO's "Let It Ride" in bands around Glasgow and later the US since about 1974. (I'm 64). I can play it perfectly but I kinna get the sound. I dinnae ken what he's doin in that intro. I just know it's not re-creatable with one guitar. And it's magical. 🍀🎸🍀
Yes: this should be a new series. Pure win !
If you feel like sticking to Zeppelin I’d love to hear Recreating the Sounds of No Quarter 😃
That would probably be a 5 hr video -- but I'd watch :-)
Pretty sure Jimmy used some Wah-Wah on the main guitar track.
Oof! I second. Rick would be the type to analyze the piano and bring out the theremin like page does live
MJmcnult isn’t that only on TSRTS?
@@mjmcnult he used a lot more wah-wah for No Quarter on the 2007 Celebration Day live right?
"Ramble'On" baited an instant click, and, yes, you nailed it.
Always so amazing watching you work. Great video!
Rick! This is awesome! I REALLY REALLY love this format / series. MORE! MORE! MORE! Very interesting to see how you approach "getting the sound" because I usually struggle to even know where to begin...
The tone on jimmy’s stairway solo. Always loved how the sound of the solo comes in. Reminds me of rainfall bursting free from storm clouds.
lots of treble, just enough fuzz to get sustain, and a bit of slap delay, I'd imagine. That's what I did, I have a cover on my channel that I think gets pretty close
@@mattbacon285 Just Watched it, awesome stuff!! Tone was spot on
@@alessio8455 Thank you, I'll post Whole Lotta Love today too if ppl are into it. I just never get traffic. Would it be worth putting up a tone tutorials on my channel? I use ZERO fancy plugins everything is very simple
@@mattbacon285 i'd be sure to watch
alessio awesome. It’s processing now. Please subscribe and it’ll be up in a few minutes. Stairway has been up for a year or so already
RICK!!! MAKE THIS A SERIES. you are talented enough musician to do pull it off
Awesome on Ramble On Rick. Jimmy slides into the E and A a little bit. You are always great!
Really cool segment, awesome to see you do your thing live :)
My dad owned one of those guitars for as long as I can remember. Here in the Nederlands it has a different brand name. Over here it’s a Eko guitar and the model name is Ranger. It was made in Italy in the 60s. The Vox acoustic was essentially a rebadged Eko guitar.
I learned to play guitar on it as a kid and when my dad passed away on new year’s eve 2018, I inherited the guitar. I will charish that guitar for as long as I live.
My dad’s birthday is 19th of august, the same date as when this video was uploaded. He would of turned 75 this year.
Ramble on is also one of my favourite Led Zeppelin songes. Thanks Rick for all your video’s. Especially this one. Cheers!
I recognized it immediately. I bought my Ranger 6 back in the '60s when In was 17 and it's been with me ever since. Until now I never realized they sold them under the Vox label, but the guitars are prety much identical, though this one doesn't have the lovely quilted wood mine has. Hard to believe he played Ramble on using a guitar mostly made for teenagers.
Yep, same pickguard, bolt on neck fittings, cracked super thick lacquer, zero fret and wide, flat bridge as my Eko Ranger 12. The only other song I'm aware of that was recorded with an Eko is Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle with You. And yep, with the factory fitted, almost lipstick style pickup it can sound a lot like a solid body, especially when strung as a 6.
Bought mine 2nd hand 15 years before my son was born, he's now 18 and will get it in turn when i go.
yes i think that my father also had the same guitar, i remember the EKO name on the headstock,
i now own a rebadged EKO Ranger, a 12 string version which also has the same kind of cracks on the back and near to neck
@@shythylacine Wow, another surprise. You always think they record these famous songs with Martins and Gibsons. Eko's motto was, "90 percent of the sound of a Martin, 10 percent of the price." Mine has some spectacular finish cracks after a college friend left it in his car for a whole day in below-zero temps. But it still chugs on. I mostly use it to play slide these days.
Thank you Ronald. Heartfelt story!
Try recreating John Entwistle's Bass sound. It sounds so cool.
His bass part and sound in 'Won't Get Fooled Again' is outrageous!
Wow what a process, really well done Mr beato, love how you took a old picture, to work from, cracking video
Awesome! You could probably do a whole series of this on just Zep!
Recreating the sound: The "Roundabout" Bass
Ya I Second that one ! That bass track it's one of my Hi Fi acid test
Bass 4
Mids 8
Highs 5
You read my mind lol
Ricky 4001? Pick-player, for sure. Good luck with the rest of that chemistry. I'll say this, though... U.K. Engineers of the '60's and early '70's buggered up the bass tone. Could have been so much better, even with 1972 tech. Fragile is still my #1 stranded on an island album. Mr. Beato gives YES way too little love. I've busted him on that a couple times.
Why not Bruford’s snare while you’re at it?!
You'll never see this Rick, but for posterity and the record, I had such a blast sitting here in my Covid Livingroom with a Taylor 214ce DLX and it's bolt-on neck, nailing every move you and Jimmy made. So much fun!!! You'd be howling with gales of laughter. I am 67 and never stopped playing from that Avatar Pic on the left at age 4 until forever...Thanks, you are so much good for all of us!
The Jimmy Page photo referenced in your video is from April 1969 in Olympic Studios where Jimmy was overdubbing acoustic guitar on the track "La La". (Which was later released as companion audio to LZ II a few years back) Ramble On was recorded in a studio in New York with Eddie Kramer.
This sounds amazing! Very interested in the next episodes, always great to demistify these legendary sounds a bit.
I've never known anyone to truly capture the sound of Chris Squire's bass. That would be a nice challenge.
Actually, Richie Castellano has a great video on recreating Squire's bass sound
hey..i just wrote the same thing without looking at the comments..!! dude!
@@DanielBobke I checked it out and you are correct. Nice replication.
@@DanielBobke I was going to say it if you didnt
I said the same. "Roundabout" was where I first picked him out in particular.
Oh man - Chris Squires on the 1971 “ Yes” album - best integrated “lead” bass ever!
Amazing work as always! Very excellent playing as a ground then the use of a vintage instrument and microphone nails it. Legendary track- thank you for taking us “behind the curtain” and especially for the erudite tutorial on use of plug ins and frequency AB analysis. Kudos!
"Leaves are fallin all around, time I was on my way...." in 8th grade I wanted to hear ALL the LZ stuff. They just came out with "In through the out door" in 1979. I was 13 and I was hooked. Sadly I never was able to see them as Bonham died the next year.
Would love to hear a recreation of Yes “Owner of A Lonely Heart” drum track. (Particularly the snare)
That needs to be a wmtsg!
I would like to see you recreate the guitar tone from Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, particularly the solo from Cherub Rock. The tone on that record is a deceptively simple fuzz tone but always seems like it was just a pinch away from feeding back and sounded so raw.
I'd also be keen to see a "What Makes This Song Great" for Soma. Such an awesome tune.
@@KiedisHaze My favorite on that record!
Love your channel Rick, always interesting info you bring to the table.
Jimmy did a live talk where he explained the picture that you showed is actually him recording a song called 'LaLa' which was later featured on a remastered bonus version of the album. Although given how close Rick recreated this I wouldn't be surprised if it was exactly the same setup.
Definitely when you strummed closer to the bridge it mimicked Jimmy's tone. sounded great!!
Yes - it gave it that bright, lively ring that was clear in Jimmy's rendition. You nailed it in the end.
Man Rick's videos have evolved. He is THE best youtuber now
Great content AND doing everything he can to stick it to blockers. It's glorious.
"Almost".. Great effort. Love seeing a guitar Ive never seen before.
One of the greatest acoustic guitar sounds, nice job.
I'd love to see you give a go at recreating Alex Lifeson's tones on Hemispheres (the song), specifically his solo tones. It's really similar in vibe to Eddy's phased/flanged tones on VH1. Both came out in '78, so maybe there's a bit of inspiration going back and forth hahaha.
Nice work on recreating the R.O. sound, too. Great stuff. Learn something about recording every time I watch.
The first time I threw my dad's Hemispheres LP on the turntable, I was blown away by that sound. So rich and massive sounding. It would be amazing to have that broken down. The closest I've gotten with my Axe-FX II is using an Electric Mistress flanger type sound blended with the dry signal from a combination of a Marshall Plexi and Hiwatt DR103. Obviously the original was at least double tracked, possibly quad tracked, so it'll never be perfect but it gets me very close.
Ernie Isley - Summer Breeze/Who’s that lady: lead sound.
Pro co Rat, Half cocked wah a univibe and a strat. Getcha close
I gave a thumbs up for that idea. My favourite solo ever. If you like that sound then listen to Be Bop Deluxe, Adventures on a Yorkshire Landscape. Which one came first?
If there was a Nobel prize in music this guy deserves it. This channel is really instructive, very different from the rest of you tubers whom only hang around in banter.
Love Ramble On.
Love your stuff, Rick! Nice work!
Why not do one on JPJ's bass tone on this song? That would be a great follow up!
JPJ's bass line in this song is unforgettable...all the offbeats, super inspiring.
The JPJ bass is amazing too✌🏻👊🏻😎 great mention....
Suggestion: Peter Frampton’s ‘’Talkbox’ sound on “Do You Feel Like We Do” and/or the one used on Pink Floyd’s album “Animals”.
And/or used on Tyla Gang's song "Suicide Jockey."
+1!
yes please
Thank you Rick. Your videos are a gift. Truly amazing dedication on your part.
I know Rick put a lot of effort into this video and it probably doesn't get as many views as he would expect. But for people who love this level of detail, we can't get enough. Thank you Rick!
The special one I can think of is Mark Knopfler's tone on "Money for Nothin'"
That's also a good example of a sound that requires the proper technique AND simliar gear/amp settings to get it just right - especially when it comes to getting those harmonics! Mark himself is proud enough of the sound that when Weird Al parodied the song Mark's only demand was to (re)record the guitar part for Weird Al's version, bringing in Guy Fletcher to play synthesizer again as well.
Another special sound I can think of is the pulsing tremolo sound on "How Soon Is Now?" by The Smiths. Apparently it's a sound that has proved so difficult to properly recreate that Morrissey uses a backing track of the sound when performing the song live.
That's an interesting one because I've often heard Mark say he gets that tone by half-cocking a wah, but both he AND the producer have ALSO said that that was NOT the case on the original recording. It was the LP straight into a cranked amp.
@@brandoncarey541 Yep - How Soon is Now is 4 Fender Twin Reverb amplifiers with Tremolo with Johnny Marr manually controlling the speed setting of two of them, and the producer manually controlling the speed of the other two, as the amps were being fed a tape recording of Johnny playing the clean guitar part. It took them time to get it right because the tremolo effect would either go out of time with the song, or the two amps on each side of the stereo field would go out of sync with each other.
Was thinking of Sultans - it should be a simple tweed, but it's really not. But yeah, M4N is even better.
"What Makes This Sound Great" would indeed be a great forensic series to make, Rick. It would be cool to do it as old school as possible (i.e., without the reliance on modern plugins until the very last to finish dialing it in).
One of my favorites and it plays in my head daily. Impressive analysis.
Your videos are SO interesting and I am learning so much. I love hearing the isolated tracks too. So cool.
I would love to see how Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter"' was created
Good one!
They simply went to Middle Earth.
One of their best songs along with Achilles Last Stand!
Did it with a friend of mine... Involved tons of delay and rotary effects!!
G60syncro impressive! I would guessed about delay (and probably phaser?) But i really couldn't dig any deeper
Adding my vote to "Recreating the Sound" as a new series!
I am absolutely marveled at these incredible learning experiences and lessons!
As soon as you brought your hand back closer to the bridge you nailed it that was it it sounds like summertime to me love your videos Rich keep them coming thanks my dude🇺🇸🍻
"Recreating the Sound: The "Ramble On" Acoustic"
**Jimmy Page has now left the chat
Here's to hoping you get to interview Jimmy Page someday! He would probably love all that you do and certainly all the Zeppelin stuff that you've done which is top notch!
That was fantastic! Loved seeing how Ramble On was originallly created, then re created by you, Rick! Yes please! Much more of this!
One of my favorite Zep tunes I always love watching you re create the songs we all love there in ur studio Your really talented in analyzing songs and what makes them great 👍🏻
Tone that I wanna see recreated: Yours Is No Disgrace by Yes. Chris Squire's bass tone changed my outlook on life. Thanks for Ramble On, the Zep song that changed my outlook on life too.
Absolutely -- this or Roundabout -- so dry you need a drink of ice water after listening to it!
Chris Squire's bass sound.
That’s what I said!
Wise, gonna need 2 rick and a pick
I have a CS Signature Rickenbacker bass that I could lend for the video... but warning - the action is high.
Love this! Would love more content on in depth mixing and recording techniques
Rick ... That was awesome ... A complement to your ear and playing. I was hoping you were going after the Les Paul part of Ramble On. I would love to hear that replicated.
I was thinking about difference between the strings when you played closer to the bridge. You totally got it.
EDIT: I removed the part from blocking. My bad.
Yeah, I wasn’t gonna wait on this one
Edit: my comment stands. 😀
ahahahahahah me too
Well, it's sad. In fact because of all this BS I don't even enjoy listening to Led Zeppelin anymore.
They don’t block!
@@RickBeato they're Gods!
I've been thinking non-stop about this lately after your Ramble On video. My jaw is on the floor because you actually cared as much as I did about the acoustic part. What a strange, beautiful world we live in. Thanks for making it a little brighter, Rick.
I love learning anything about how music is made, and you give a lot of info, Thanks!
Nice! Really seriously cool. One of my favorite tracks to listen to new hifi set-ups on.
