WATHAHECCC THIS IS SO NICEEE
It really is. You can make up your own Etudes by playing around with different intervals.
Is that an automatic swell effect pedal you use?
Yes -
That cello / organ sound is something I've been working on for a long time and involves a special pedal by Electro Harmonix called Attack / Decay.
That pedal is supposed to sound like tape being played backwards ( which it can do ) but I immediately heard the possibility of modifying the front end of the attack and getting that smooth organ-like or cello-like sound.
( If you own an Attack Decay Pedal : Taking a look at my current settings : I always have it in Poly mode. Sens at 10 o'clock, H Vol off, Tone at 10 o'clock, Harmonix off, Blend full clockwise, Attack at 9 o'clock, Decay full clockwise. Explore and see what you come up with ! )
There's also a pedal compressor and a long reverb from the Boss Katana MKII amp.
I also use very light strings for separation and expressiveness. ( Ernie Ball Zippy Slinkys .007 - .036 on the Stratocasters and Ernie Ball Extra Slinky .008 - .038 on the Les Pauls, Sire H7, Astroluxe Cadet )
This signal chain makes playing very enjoyable and soothing as I'm not very fond of pick attack and sounding like a guitar in general.
I always wish I was an orchestra.
Wishing you the best in your musical journey.
Please let me know if you have further questions or requests for topics, etcetera.- John
@@basicsforbaroqueimprovisation thank you for explaining that. It sounds incredibly beautiful and organ like. I’m going to switch to very light strings. I think the easier it is to play an instrument, the more expressive you can be and the more you can get out of it. This is one of the reasons why people like to buy higher quality expensive instruments. The build quality makes your playing easier, but it’s easy to forget about the importance of the strings themselves.
@@georginathompson3788 I agree ! Lighter string require a gentler approach with both hands. They can be bent more easily but also bent out of tune more easily with too much finger pressure. Rather than picking the notes firmly as with heavier strings I think a good idea to have in mind is the notion of imploring, coaxing or gently asking the string to speak.
You might notice an increased separation between the notes of chords with much lighter strings. The bass pitches are no longer so dense and wooly.
Please let me know what you discover !!
