He can sound like three guitars with no gear. The gear is used here, but the real talent of musicians is to create effects with their hands, which he can do.

so beautiful, yes it sounds like a band is playing, such a fantasic song
-
hahahah cockburn but he is fucking good
-
Its more about what the writer composed, rather than if he was using alot of equipment,or just playing amazing gutiar.
-
You also can sound like you are playing 3 guitars at once if you have enough money for electronic gear - delays,echoes,synchronizers,et
c.He is an amazing guitarist but give the gear the credit it deserves -
find the cd "speachless" an incredible instrumental collection of his guitar work.

I saw Bruce at the Univ. of Guelph almost 20 years earlier - and I can tell you, he's just as good.
Always a pleasure.



The way he gets the multiple guitar effect is through a digital delay...he taps in the tempo he wants, number of repeats, decay rate...probably put some reverb on it too. The brilliance of the performance is not merely the delay but how he uses it as part of the composition and plays rhythmically to have the delay compliment the song.

Funny to think I saw him, same place, more than ten years previous.
Gotta love the continuity.
Brilliant man - his material never gets old.
