COVER: The Smiths - Headmaster Ritual - Multitrack with Ric 360/12

Why have I tackled this tune a second time? (Not a second time? Yes, a second time.) Several reasons:

1. Last time the sound quality was bad (in the sense of "bad", not the Michael Jackson way where it really means "good").

2. Before the "live performance" you can see happening in this video, I recorded some other tracks to play along with and fill out the sound. Don't they make a whopping difference?

3. This 360/12 Fireglo arrived yesterday and it decided it wanted to play this tune. How could I say no?

4. It's a very very very very good tune, isn't it?

Wow what an amazing sound!!!! What are you playing teh ric through? I must know!!!

[danielearwicker]

On all this videos I'm using a range of purely digital effects. I don't own any guitar amps (apart from a mini practise amp). This would have been a simulation of a clean tube amp and a delay. The Ric itself contributes most of the characteristic sound.

If you think that's garbage...you should hear me play piano XD

The Smiths tab book only contains chords and are an acoustic style. It'd take me ages to work them out and i openly admit that.

Don't patronise me btw. not being able to accurately pick things out by ear means you can't write your own stuff? Shut up.

Can you please fix this glitch? The visual is now sped up and the whole thing ends at 0:48. Waaaah!

@lewys93 Happens to me too :(

For some very annoying reason, my computer thinks that this video is only 48 seconds long. The visuals play really fast and the audio is normal speed.

But at 48 seconds the video stops (as the video has now come to an end at this time) and so does the audio - even through the audio has only been playing (at normal speed) for 48 seconds.

Sounds excellent, but I wish my computer would work properly so I could listen to all of it.

pretty damned amazing ... love it!!

[raymondtheman1]

Are you playing along with previously recorded tracks may i ask?

[spudster007]

@orchardhill I agree. 1:49 is just so overwhelmingly amazing. It's so soothing.

[orchardhill]

1:49 is the moment tears begin to swell as the implication of the parts intertwining overwhelms my senses. Or its the wine. ERIC
