Amazing Grace (Making Bagpipe style Music on the Guitar)

[Attractor1]

That's pretty sick man well done

[Rob919Gore]

@Attractor1 Thanx man!

[jhutchinson00]

I have that same amp, but what medal board are you using. I have an ME-70 and it is way too much for a solid state amp.

[smilingscottsman]

Coooooool.

[Rob919Gore]

@smilingscottsman Than man!

[US1968]

That was amazing Rob, absolutely great !!!!!!!!!!!

[xXElroMXx]

wow cool have to try it!

[Rob919Gore]

@xXElroMXx It's a fun technique!

[Rob919Gore]

Yes when I transcribed it I played it traditional style (normal) then i decided I wanted to play it in my lap

[MatsOrbation]

OK, let's see if my vid comment turns up here too, so people know what I am talking about... At least I don't have turn my guitar on to the lap, it can be played the normal way, still hanging on the neck.

[MatsOrbation]

Huh? I deleted just one of my doubled posts but both disappeared..what am I doing wrong?! Sorry for disrupting our dialoge.

[MatsOrbation]

@Rob919Gore Of course your's better. You seem to have an "explorer" mentality that I like. In your playing I mean... But I wanted just to show that bagpipish technique with the pick side instead. Adrian does that. He just noodles around and don't play a real tune as such... One question: can you do that without having the guitar resting on your lap? I mean holding it the ordinary wqay?

[MatsOrbation]

Also (I am blabbing away here) if you happen to own one of these Fernandez guitars with Sustainiac or sustainer pickups which makes a string feedback forever, you will get there even better. An E-bow which is similar, renders your hand busy holding that device, so it will not work. Keep up the good work rob!

[MatsOrbation]

Very good! A couple of chorus fx on top of this and reverb and delay (loop delay as a drone), it will sound like a whole bunch of bagpipes. Doesn't it get better if you tap with the side of the pick instead? I used to use stone pick or steel pick to achieve that "chirping" sound when bagpipe players change holes and does the "drills".

[Rob919Gore]

@MatsOrbation Thanx for the kind words!

[Rob919Gore]

@MatsOrbation Maybe I wanna do it more organically without effects =)

[z0oy0rkskater123]

[Siedmiogrzesznik]

[aymyeyehurts]

[toddcthsth]

[Hcorechristian]

Yo you wouldnt happen to have tabs for this would you?

[fjslf]

[GreenAshR46]

Awesome job. Has an almost haunting sound. Makes me wish I had an electric guitar.

[SocialismCross]

awesome !

[JBIEL2006]

Hey bro! Awesome! I have been messing around with that tune using the same idea for 15 years. You, however, blew my version away. Fantastic!

[embee6657]

that was....amazing wow dude good job

[CBbodyboarder]

sounds incredible

[rollingold1]

You have a real talent for tapping, well done, sounds just like a bagpipe.

[seventhveil1313]

this is fucking insane!!!! =]

[rickwhv]

Hehe, thats funny, and even sounds more than a bagpipe than most of the bagpipe sound son a keyboard, etc. ;-)

The only time you hear that it is a guitar is when you play the gracings, but apart of this... Brilliant!
