dude, I love this song, I wanna learn how to play it, cause i could only play this on guitar hero. Lame! I played this song for my gf, (ya for guitar hero) an she thought it was cute? idk, go figure.
@footcandy Mike Einziger is more of a phaser hound... nice slow phasing. Distortion is a little less muddy, but I don't know if you're going for an accurate reproduction or not.
when you're bending the double notes on the 11th fret, you should be bending it a whole step, it sounds like you're only bending it a half step. this can be achieved by barring the notes with your third finger.
dont read this cause it really works. you will get kissed on the nearest possible friday by the love of ur life. Tomorow will be the the best day of ur life. However if u dont post this the comment to atleast 3 videos u will die within 2 days. Now youve started reading this dont stop. This is sooo scary. send this to 5 videos in 143 minutes. When ur done press F6 and ur crushes name will appear in big letters on the screen. this is sooo scary
2nd- mikey recording with bends cuz he uses light gauge strings, but when he plays live he uses heavy guage strings, try playing a set with light gauge strings and you find out how much you have to tune.
Actually I think it's the just the combination of the phaser sound and the speed of your bending. the video shows that youre obviously bending enough but it sounds like you do it a bit quicker than mike so you dont really hear it as much. but its no big deal anyways
Yes. The intro is played on the 9th fret sliding to the 11th fret and bending it up a whole step. Since it's freakin' hard as shit to do I just lightly hammer on and pull off; then slide to the 6th fret. Try it.
He doesnt anymore. I think he uses Fender guitars now, but im not sure. I think Incubus was at its best when Mike used PRS Guitars "Make Yourself" and "Morning View" best albums of theirs if you ask me.
I only listened to one song on that album, I didnt really like the way they went with that album but its not bad. Morning View is my personal favorite though.
Definitely, you can always get the HB Spruce which is a lot cheaper. The three different models (Spruce, I and II) really sound very similar. Get one that fits your wallet.
Actually, all they're all different birds down the neck, the eagle is at the 12th fret. I had owned my first PRS for a while before I realised that they weren't the same bird. lol!
I've seen a lot of covers of this song, and the only ones I like come from PRS guitars. They sound so rich and smooth, I love it. PRS is the way to go man, no matter what you play.
Looks like a CE or 513 by PRS. But the definite giveaway is the "Birds in Flight" inlays. I love PRS. Just boght an SE Singlecut and it sounds amazing, even for a cheaper, Korean-made PRS.
check out my stellar cover, on a much lesser expensive guitar. Oh and what kinda delay are you using? I know you are using some kind of effect to get that sound.
Fender guitars are generally seen as offering a bright, responsive tone, with a hint of "twang" from their longer scale length, Gibson guitars are seen as having a warm, rich tone, with a deep, dark low end.
PRS guitars are the only that combine all of the great qualities of Fender and Gibson without the twang lol... Without a doubt the greatest guitars in the world
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ehhh, the whole beggining of the song is off, just wierd. i played this 10 times better when i was 14 years old, why the hell would you post this video i would be embarrased
the only reason mike bends that song is because he had super light strings on his guitar for that song during the recording process but if you ever see them live you can tell a huge difference
it's nearly impossible to bend them hard like that with heavy gauge strings
sounds really good
just needa mess around with your EQ a bit and maybe look into a tube screamer instead of the overdrive with resonance
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i think hes not actually playing..look at 2:34 where he messes up the right chord then switches to the correct one....if you listen to only the audio the chords are perfect..it shoulda sounded like he switched chord real fast...ive been playing for 20 years i know. and i know this song
If you'd been playing for so long, you'd realise that it was the same A chord I was playing. One at the 5th fret and then it moves to the open A. That's why it sounds correct. I'm sorry that after your 20 years of playing you haven't figured out how to correct mistakes on the fly.
Are you Mike with your head just hidden?
