  1. Oh it definitely is. The writers and session dudes are so entwined there who knows. But the thing that always blows me away is that like every one of them has the knowledge of a piano player. The way they arrange parts and build ludicrous harmonies never ceases to baffle my luddite rocker ass.
  2. I always chock that up to Nashville session cats.
  3. It can get fairly esoteric but the TL;DR is that it's the underlying harmonic structure and not the key, you can play a major chord on any scale degree if the rest of the instruments and vocal aren't hitting a minor third while you are playing it. Related, it's very common to have something like a flat 7 chord in a major key in rock.
  4. I have to imagine the only thing worse than listening to the fucking Eagles is reading about the fucking Eagles.

    We got Soul?

    Motown? Man that's the best any song ever.
  6. Well it's a PRS so clearly I'm not involved
  7. Fuck that guy
  8. I had a mid side setup last year for a bit but it I found the XY did better in my space coupled with a front of kit mic (Royer 121). The drums are in the corner of a very big room, 75 by 50 with 25 foot ceiling, and I think the way the reverb in the room sets up it fucks with the mid side a bit. The FOK aimed at the kit seems better for this space at any rate. I do like M/S in general though
  9. It does, and I quite like it, but it's super susceptible to balance. Like way more than almost any other method. You can't balance it like a spaced pair + tom mics. His book is great BTW if you haven't read it. I've been on an XY or ORTF kick lately myself.
  10. There's one single key to a Glyn John's technique. A good drummer
  11. I smile every time I see this thread bumped.
  12. 2 days to La Vuelta
  13. Ha. Yeah. Tbh, that old gig I was talking about earlier not super far off one of those joints, kind of goes with the territory with punk rock shows.
  14. Well I thought all that went together man!
  15. I've always wanted to play a joint with chicken wire around the stage.
  16. Oh yeah, these days 100%. I honestly hardly drink anymore, it's not worth the price the next day! That show I was referencing was creeping up on 20 years ago, back in my youth.
  17. Such a bummer man. We played one of the last shows ever, maybe the last, at a local place that was one of the last hold outs for original rock bands. Was bittersweet. As @Celery Man correctly surmised, I'm pretty sure we drank our entire pay that night. I may have walked with 20 bucks tops.
  18. Yeah, fuzz has to be the most variable by far. I generally chalk it up to the circuits being so simple and unfiltered. You can spend the rest of your life going being between different fuzzes and they will all be so damn unique. I am totally with you in the Strat bridge pickup, I never use it except for Gilmour stuff, and he managed it because he had these full tilt dark wooly fuzz faces and Muffs. The combo goes together like peas and carrots. I still have to add a touch of 1.5k on an EQ to get it right I find. I currently have an Analogman Sunface, which is a Fuzz Face, with the BC109 chip, to mimic the Dark Side era Fuzz Face. But just typing this it's wild to think how much variation there is in these, same circuit but different chip is wildly different. I also have a Sunlion with a Tonebender 1.5 circuit, which is very Fuzz Face like. I have always considered Muffs their own thing. I have an original Black Russian I've owned since it was new. I actually just got it because I didn't know any better back then, I was just trying to buy a distortion pedal lol. They fetch decent money these days actually. I got the Ram's Head reissue not super long ago, and that was a 100% Gilmour thing.
  19. Here's the actual solo. I think if I nudged the gain on the Ram's Head a tick and EQ a little low mid and bass out, it's very close tone wise. Anyway this was my ad for the RT-2. I am pretty happy with it. https://www.kitrae.net/music/MP3/Mother Solo_Studio_Recording.mp3
  20. Thanks brosef. I forgot to mention what I was using, Strat with Duncan SSL-5 in the bridge, Rams Head Muff, RT-2 into a Hiwatt and a Fane Starfinder cab IR.
  21. Got most of the bends roughly in tune! Would have like to have gotten the rakes up to the big E string bends a little better but what are ya gonna do.
  22. So I was sharing this with @Goredho but though the pedal guys might be into this. Boss just released the RT-2 rotary sim recently and being a sucker for all thing GIlmour I had to get one. The old RT 20, while not great for Leslie, was the pedal for doing a Doppola emulation. This one seems like it can do that thing, plus the Leslie is much more convincing. In a continuing series of me mangling Gilmour solos, I did a quick pass on Mother last night. The one drawback is there is no mix knob on this, because of the small form factor they ran out of room. So my take is it's pretty right on for live Gilmour, bhut a bit to wet for the studio. I think running a blender pedal with it you could get extremely close though. https://samply.app/p/RD3BA6HhsgoLW5rIKkh9
  23. Sacrilege, but the fact I have my old melody maker is keeping me from getting a single cut Special right now. Damn you Jimmy.
