      It’s actually supes easy. It’s just an odd approach. All you need is a delay pedal. And string muting skills.

      i think it's made with a style of composition that sounds inspired by the work of Steve Reich, if you look up 'phase music', or Reich's 'Clapping Music' it gives you an idea of how this works.

      There are some great musicians on youtube playing the guitar part of Thin Thing and showing more or less the gear they're using like delay pedal etc :)

      @Jabatti Před rokem +28

      It's 6/8 pattern played with a 5/16 digital delay with no feedback and 50/50 mixed dry/wet signal. The secret is playing the first note not on the downbeat but on the upbeat and then keep the upbeat 6/8 tempo.

    • @jamestaylor3715

      I thought that some of the non-album tracks released in that period had a kind of anxious energy: Ill Wind, These Are My Twisted Words, If You Say the Word, etc... The non-album stuff from that period is some of their best music IMO.

    I literally say this about everything but I really think that Jonny gets that guitar is something that needs experimentation to actually excel. The last few years it seems like modern guitar playing is stuck at least 40 years behind, it’s awesome to see someone not afraid to let the dissonant notes ring out even when they’re in such a high profile band.

    • @AnimatedLoopHD
      @AnimatedLoopHD Před 6 měsíci +8

      Nothing is pre-recorded. They're doing all of this in real time. Jonny is using a delay on his guitar riff which makes the tapestry of sounds, and Thom has an effects board to trigger sound effects and vocal effects. I'm not sure what you're hearing that you think is pre-recorded though, and using samples in a live performance doesn't detract from anything.
