Getting Delay, without using any effects...

I'm rolling when I play live on the very rare occasion that I do I always play my song rain just be weird if I didn't play it most of the time but what's really fun about the song is that the effects I'm putting my guitar through are essentially doing the bulk of the work so here's what the song sounds like [Music] different the effect here doing most of the work is the delay and essentially all the delay does when you put that on is it just takes your playing and then throws it back at you later so I have it's up to come back at me first very loud and then it decays after that she's getting about one more decay and it kind of degrades and get of a warmer tone as it decays away and you can time the delay out to work in a very musical way like I have this set with this song to where the delay comes a dotted eighth note you're much better guitar player so what I want to try today is to recreate this song and it's delay entirely acoustically not using any effects whatsoever the computer is only here to capture the sound so we have two other guitar players my friends Jeff and Dave just gonna be playing the first delay Dave's gonna be playing the second which is the one that's more subdued so he'll be on a nylon string guitar instead and then we've all learned to play this on to a click in exactly the same way and the clicks they're gonna be listening to are going to be delayed a dotted eighth note and two dotted eighth notes and it's also crucial for the song for it to be soaked in a lot of big room reverb that's why we're in a handball court the important thing is capturing the sound that's up close to the instrument because is gonna be bouncing all around I mean this room is huge there's no baffling in here nice small diaphragm condenser is very focused sound coming off the instruments then I got some large die from condensers a couple of these guys that are going to be picking up the room I got a pair of them just to capture the sound of the reverb in the room alright yeah what is up what do you what are you thinking tonight here I'm like excited you know I'm ready just concentrate to the click we'll be fine the clicks are going to be coming from my program with minutely different click tracks and they all have to have it like isolated in their ears a big part of creating these types of videos is just like location scouting it was like a challenge in itself you know and then in this case this is a YMCA and DesPlaines Illinois that I used to work at I used to run skate camp at the skate park so got in contact with them and they are happy it seems to help us out so that's cool thanks to the YMCA they've been building these reverb rooms for a band named handball maybe it's like like American football I have never heard American handball that band before but they have a lot of reverb rooms as they need them to guess I think we're good guys playing to a clique where we're all so close together is really difficult so if we're going to try just a test of something really easy to make sure we can get that across [Music] I've got [Music] that looks great I think I worry with you that if like you got one of us gets one beat off it'll be hard to tell because we're so concentrating on the click it's just having to hyper focus on the click track and forget about everyone else or else we're going to start playing in time and it's not a delay and it's hard I think you guys are probably ready to be the delay cool we need to be exactly the same all right let's do it [Music] [Music] yeah this is the one [Music] [Applause] No [Music] did you No if we would help - if we even move you further so you can't hear us at all no no no no nope [Music] now [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I finally got it we have like a short amount of time that we have to get out of here so the song is on the anchor EP we have finals available you can subscribe to if you like to sure this is in the last time I do something crazy on this channel and also there's a tab booked for the anchor EP coming out soon and anyone who is a patron in this month of February will get their names printed on the book and the book might be out now if you're watching this in the future and yeah I think that's it thanks so much for a long day yes you can subscribe I think I already said that oh I don't know just I'll see you next week thanks for watching
