Descendants Of Smith - Roy Harper (guitar tutorial)

[mussie302]

Yes, I got that REM sound too. I just had a quick listen through 'Automatic For The People' and the first track, 'Drive', has a similar sound to it I think.

[BadSpeech]

@mussie302 Yes, I was thinking of that album/period too.

[mussie302]

That was brilliant. Such a great sound and wonderfully played. I agree, that chord progression sounds wonderful.

[BadSpeech]

@mussie302 Thanks John. For some reason I cat put my finger on this chord progression makes me think of R.E.M. (???)

[experimentalrock]

Nice and crisp.  Clean and spiffy in my view.

[BadSpeech]

@experimentalrock Thanks mate.

[electricragtime]

Very nicely played......and the 12 string sounds great.......and one of my 12 stringers is always tuned down a tone to DGCFAD.....in fact most people I know have their twelves tuned down a tone.....Kev

[BadSpeech]

@electricragtime Thanks mate. What gauge do you use on the 12 string? I use 010 and the intonation suffers a bit when I tune down a tone. Not so much if it's just 1/2 a tone...

[electricragtime]

@BadSpeech I tend to use heavier strings 12/53 D'addario and I can take them down 2 whole tones without intonation problems......although I do have a 12 string with exceptionally light strings 9/40 which I use for raised pitch tunings A..Bb...E...F etc
