Lucky Man - The Verve Cover

An amazing song out of an incredible band, from the unbelievably good Urban Myths album. I just had to play it, and I don't do it justice. Please leave a comment.

The Verve simply rocks.

Great job Seb, I would have thought this to be quite a difficult cover but you proved me wrong here, your voice has improved which is needed for ashcroft cover.The Verve were my favourite band for a few years but kinda forgotten about them recently. Always admired the guitarist for his spacy sounds which you captured here without pro equipment! good stuff man.

Oh and whats that on your guitar head?

@raydeater It is a capo, that is just parked there. If Nick McCabbe had not created that sound he does, I swear I would have. It is exactly the kind of sound I enjoy the most. He once said that "guitar players who only go for technical ability but disdain sound itself have lost the plot", I say amen to that. Truth is however, I don't get even to the toes of McCabe, and I just can't sing, but I do it anyway, who cares if I cant... ;-)

@rohaihuparaguay Theres a good documentary about the rise of guitar effect pedals called 'Fuzz the sound that changed the world' you should watch it if you haven't already seen it.

@raydeater Funny you should say so, Here I used a big muff for the electric, which is a mid scooped fuzz with a longer sustain essentially. I am going to check your new video now. I happen to be traveling in Berlin at the moment, a fantastic city.

@raydeater If you look at my new version of local hero, there I put a pedal I have modified. Lately I am getting into modifying making my own pedals, that is how all of those guys in the movie started.

Very nice how you mixed it together. What sort of equipment & software do you use for that?

[rohaihuparaguay]

@reitze01 I just use Garage band that comes with any Mac, and have a cheap mixer that can play one track on the headphones, while being fed a different track. Thanks for the comment.

maestro Ashcroft, lindo tributo

@rohaihuparaguay Yeah know wot u r saying and with effects being quite cheap these days (ebay), my pedal board has grown, looking at your tags looks like yours has aswell! I've got the EHX Cathedral thats probably my fav pedal at the mo, can spend hours twiddling dials but before digital it was all about your playing didn't have the luxury of effects, the Wah Wah was as crazy as it got!

@rohaihuparaguay thanks for the info. I had the imression there was something common that a lot of peps were using and I didn't think it was some of the more complex stuff - mac explains it. I can google for similar things now too. Thanks.
