St. Vincent - Now. Now. 08/09/07

It speeds up for me.

[reptilia1251]

i think she's using some sort of pitch shift effect.

[miriamleaman]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar effect pedals she is using? Or is it just natural harmonics that she is doing? Great musician!

[burnthehighway]

She uses effects pedals, but this song is mostly natural harmonics in a different tuning.

[miriamleaman]

Do you know what tuning?

[mfc5446]

I'm almost positive she's using a Digitech Whammy. I know she's got one on her pedal board because I've seen a picture of it.

What I wish I could figure out is what tuning she was playing in. She's a genius!

Best song of 2007

[kateatsmouse]

Wow. this song is amazing. I didnt even realize that it had so much guitar in it before.

[paulyman5000]

great song...hear it on left of center ch. 26 on sirius satelite...whata melodic song

[aswhad]

Great,

but i don't understand what you're all talkin about,

there is no "fast forwarded" or " video does get sped up briefly when she backs up",

she bangs on top of the guitar and plays with a flexibala plectrum.

Annie knows guitar playing.

[HippoSexxxy]

glad to hear it's not speeding up for everyone. the source video has more fps, and the last little bit of rocking out looks different than what I'm seeing here..kinda like an old keystone cops / chaplin film...but whatevs. no matter. still fun to watch and share.

she certainly does know guitar playing. <3

[debaser247]

yeah its actually kinda refreshing to see a woman who plays guitar and preforms so well

[michaeljamsmith]

Ann Wilson, Jennifer Batton, Lennie Stern, Charo, Debbie Davies, Susan Tedeshi (aka Mrs. Derek Trucks), Liz Melendez, Lita Ford. Its not that unusual. The even bigger list is girls who play bass.

[Vicemary]

Nancy Wilson was the one with the guitar. Ann was the vocalist.

wait a second!

did this get fast forwarded at the end??

it sure seems like it.

[HippoSexxxy]

I guess the video does get sped up briefly when she backs up from the mic. Something must have tweaked in the compression process, but the audio isn't altered, and somehow it's still in sync. Whatever though, she wilds out, and her strum goes unnaturally fast there at the end.

[thenerocomplex]

it doesnt. thats how fast she's playing, and her guitar sounds like its being 'fastforwarded' because she has this organ like setting on her distortion pedal.

[PyramidHeadRox]

Amazing. I mean, yeah.

[sjkfestival]

holy shiiiiiit!

that was so great! even with the technical difficulties.

i can't even wait to see her at bumbershoot!
