They just got back together, so here's the first track from 1991's 'Loveless'. I don't know the words (who does?) so it's just murmuring. Also it's transposed down a semi-tone - by the look of recent live videos, they play it with a capo on the first fret.

  • love the song, aren't some of your tracks distorted?:)

  • Yes, yes they are!

  • The wild and crazy screaming guitar sounds between verses -- how is that sound made? Is there a slide involved?

  • Reverse reverb, same as How Soon Is Now. Not actual slide guitar but just sliding a note up and down with my finger. Then reverse that, re-record it with a long dense reverb, then reverse it again. There's also some delay on the strumming tracks, but no other effects involved.

    Thanks and rock on!

  • great job man!

  • Good job, Daniel.

    Hope it didn't take you 2 years and bankrupt your record company!

  • @09prizefighter09 They don't.They strum with plecs.But they keep the temolo arm in their hands to make the pitch constantly waver (Daniel is doing the same with the Bigsby trem on his guitar in this video if you notice).It's one of several things employed to get that mbv guitar sound.

  • is there anyway you could post the chords please? or create a tab? I've been desperate to play this song for a long time

  • Hooray for Pro Tools!

  • why do belinda and kevin strum their jazzmasters with their tremolo i have the same guitar as them tried it.....but it  seems pointless and strumming with it is odd hmmmm maybe they only know how to work it

  • MBV are sacred to me, but i'll let you off with this rendition..pretty much there save for a bit more bass..props aplenty Mr Earwicker.. could you possibly do "you never should" or "realise" please?
