Yellowcard - Life of a Salesman ( Live [v] 17.09.04 )

[annashadow123]

I remember when I was four and in my dads car listening to this song and absolutely loving it. Then yesterday out of the blue I started sing it and it's been ten years. Gosh I love yellowcard and this song!

[paqman87]

does anyone know how can I buy a t shirt like Ryans' one? thanks

[slchandl]

I don't think we got to see the bass player's face one single time. Weird.

[qwaqman]

the fiddle is a little out of tune :p

[samedmonds2007]

Wow, the did a good job of this. It seems like this would be a really hard song to perform live. The second verse of this song is just... amazing...

[WARBEAST2]

sweet band and song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anarkick1]

For some reason he never sings the nicest "same as yooooou" bit :(

[letsgotobed69]

mann the fill LP does at 2:38 is insane

[NeWyAsHiN]

great song , good job

[PoiPoiCannon]

is ben using flanger? ive heard that it's a pinch harmonic but it doesnt really look like it.....dont mean to sound stupid or anything

[kidbuueatsall]

def. not a pinch harmonic. pinch's aren't really an "effect" like pedals are. i would say your probably right with the flanger just on an odd setting or maybe a phaser on an odd setting again.

[PoiPoiCannon]

yeah...if he was doing a pinch harmonic, he would be moving his strumming hand back and forth right? plus.....it really just sounds like a flanger with some phaser (pinch harmonics sound kinda different dont you think?)

[pazteur2007]

when you do pinch harmonics you do it nearer to the neck, away from the bridge, but i don't see that technique here..

he's maybe using a wah pedal that produces a pinch harmonic effect (maybe at number 4 or halfway open) plus a phaser that is mixed with a step sequencer on a sawtooth sequence..

i think that's the nearest possible, because the "pinched" sound starts from a higher pitch going lower and lower, and strts back to a higher pitch, like looping.

[PoiPoiCannon]

his thumb kinda looks like it's in the "pinch harmonic position" but yeah..he does have a wah at his feet (for the solo) but i think it might just be a plain phaser

[pazteur2007]

@kidbuueatsall its a phaser on a sawtooth mode... with a good distortion, yum, i crave for Ben's gears!!

but you can also do it with a pinch harmonic, but probably you can't jump like ben does on intro.. =)

[MagzStupidShit]

@PoiPoiCannon he is using a flanger lol, if u think differently u are an idiot lol(:

[cjudge90]

@MagzStupidShit not sure if he's using flange or not but he definitely is using a phaser

[shokyu42]

This song is so beautiful... I used to cry, the first few times I listened to it, because I'm so far away from my dad and I love him so much, I'm so proud of him and, as they say in the song, I wanna be the same as him!
