The Dodo's Dream - Close-up with Gordon Giltrap

[MrAngrydolphin]

I saw him play a few times over the years and I saw him play at Thornbury near Bristol a few years ago and he was playing one of his other pieces that he plays like this using loop effects and different sounds and I spoke to him after the g...ig and suggested that he use a Line 6 variax guitar to get the different sounds that he needed and he said that he owned one but had never thought of using it for this purpose and I just found this on youtube, looks like he took up my suggestion

Mr Gordon Giltrap, a 13 year old has found tab for this :-)))

[armandin2048]

It looks really simple when you play it Gordon - then I tried to play it myself - lol FAIL!!!!

I still remember a geat gig you did at the Half Moon Putney - one of the best nights I ever had!!

A magic YouTube moment. Watch it once and put your guitar on eBay,or watch it twice and be inspired.

superb i saw him in the 80s with rick sanders of fairport convention,they did a number that mimiced the acustics of the taj mahal it was amazing.

[doddling]

[Markismus]

Just beautiful...keep crossing the road carefully Gordon!

[UncleBobW]

Sorry he was unable to play it in Malta.

[Markismus]

Any idea when Gordon will be back in Malta?

[UncleBobW]

Check his website for upcoming concerts. But Malta is a long way for one concert :)

[maltasupernaut]

WOW! truly inspiring piece..Anyone knows the tuning of the guitar or is it standard tuning? I'm seeing Gordon in 3 days at a theater here in Malta.. really looking forward to it!

[UncleBobW]

It is in standard tuning using various ME50 voicings and a RC20 loop station. See 'BOBGCW' below...

[hammy1010]

amazin.

[Waylander787]

Truly inspiring!!

[eykholt]

cool sampling , I have been doing or trying the same sort of aproch and let me tell yall folks its more difficult than it appears but a lot of fun!

[KatsuGuitar]

wow.! thats quite a piece you have compiled there my friend. Keep them coming!

[rrjwilson]

I never knew my Dad's camcorder was that good.

[geraberl]

bloody awesome!!! great post cheers mate

[njm1404]

Excellent! We need to know what the Variax is plugged into and what settings you're using.

[BOBGCW]

The Variax is plugged into a Boss Loop Station RC20 and a Boss ME-50. It then goes through a Yamaha Mixer to a Passport 150 PA. The 1st patch is acoustic, 2nd is reverse delay to sound like strings, 3rd acoustic, 4th octave +1 to give high pitch, 5th octave -1 to give bass effect, 6th processed overdriven guitar. The timing track is played first to give the timing for the whole piece, this is done with a delay as shown. Hope this helps
