I'd guessed right about zero fx. And I knew about the slide and open tuning, although I thought it was Open E (maj). I'd seen him play up close on the 1974 Australian tour.

Morrissey is absolutely correct on immigration. Video was good otherwise.

You just taught me something i never knew; (After 40+ years of guitar playing) Thank you for this info on glam rock friggin amazing!!

Wow, absolutely brilliant 🤩 Subscribed 👊

Well, the intro to the Action by Sweet is distorted guitars + 4 cellos. Anyway, I have to test this on my guitar synth, I can tune every string to anything in the synth without tuning the actual guitar (which when combined should sound giant).

Reminds me of system shock's MIDI, I'm sure they used such a method in the soundtrack

Your channel is excellent. Greetings from New Mexico!

This is meant for beginners. No effects, no surprise. He’s just playing octaves with the occasional extra note on a lower string.

What is the track you are playing by Chic (Bernard Edwards bass line) at 6:47 ?

I watched your earlier video on choosing a synth and noticed there were a lot of ‘plosive’ mic pops, but on the newer videos the vocal during story time is much cleaner. So the hand mic is just a prop now? If so, it’s a good one, always like to read the mic text and check the portraits for clues. Hope you have lots more stories to tell, highly enjoyable. I don’t even play instruments.

I have very recently done this as an experiment... then this pops up into my UA-cam feed. I've not posted anything on line about it. The Algorithm strikes again!

subbed. this sounds fantastic. great work. what drum machine are you using?

LOVE your overview and playing - I even heard Fade to Grey in there..................lol Please keep going.

The excellent breakdown of the sound, the amazing performance, the thoughtful words about problematic artists - you’re doing truly great work man! My favorite tuning by the way is DADGBB where i detune the highest string just slightly for a chorus effect. I think Ricky Wilson from the B-52s used to use it sometimes. Again GREAT work man!

When I was a young teenager, my mind was blown when I heard being boiled for the first time. Great vid

one thing to note is that gary glitter sold his rights to the music and gets no royalties. mike leander based rock and roll part 1 and 2 on an earlier song he wrote in the 60s. i would love to hear the first incarnation of that song. the glitter band did a small venue tour a few years ago with captain sensible on vocals. HUZZAH!

Funny story. Producing a track for a DJ back in '94, he played me a record and said "I want THIS sound" (Lately Bass) I didn't know it was a TX81Z , which I didn't own anyway. So I proceeded to edit a Yamaha TG55 preset called Synth Badbass - playing with the velocity to filter cut off, envelope, and note length until I got a similar sound. This was quite a pain because he wanted the exact sound, and an unnecessary pain as I only found out recently from the DJ in question, my good friend Phil Jubb. Whilst sat scratching my head over a TG55 back then, I needed only look into the corner of my studio at the (so I thought) redundant DX11 leaning against the wall. The f**king keyboard version of the TX81Z!!! Why Phil waited 30 years to tell me this is another mystery. I ended up giving that synth away, never knowing it made that sound. FFS. You can hear the track here would love your thoughts: ua-cam.com/video/CO1qP860T14/v-deo.htmlsi=A7422XK8LqdzEzBJ By the way I'm new and am loving your content. I love the way you make me think so differently about music, and I'm reaching that little bit higher now thank you so much.

Awesome.

Just as an additional point - it was Mike Leander who "invented" that sound, before Gerry (RIP) was recruited. The first Gary Glitter album was recorded by Glitter and Leander, along with session musicians (incl a very young Trevor Horn on bass guitar) and I remember reading that Leander, who couldn't play guitar, tuned all the strings to the same note, in order to play guitar on some tracks. And that's how it came to be. Gerry, John and the other future members of the Glitter Band were recruited for Top of the Pops and live appearances - and weren't even referred to as the Glitter Band until a while later. And they didn't play on the GG albums at that time (apart from his live one) - although they did on their own albums. No doubt though that Gerry came up with the nuances over time. Apparently the Star Guitar used for those tracks live was pretty horrible to play and for most of the set a regular guitar (and tuning) would get used. Great to see some appreciation for that sound - really was the sound of my youth and such a shame it's not used more. Nice BB version too. And just to say I agree with what you say about the moral dilemma - I grew up listening to GG and went to see him in concert in the 80s and 90s but haven't been able to listen to his records since it was all revealed. No contrition, no apologies either. Loathsome individual. The Glitter Band still used to play live a lot as a separate entity long after he was banged up but their bookings suffered hugely, as did radio play of their many hits. When they and GG only ever saw each other on stage - traveling separately, not even rehearsing together a lot of the time. Anyway, once again, great job in highlighting this sound.

Are you using 10's or something heavier for this tuning?

Fascinating! Great video

Brings back happy memories of 1972 and now I know how the incredible sound was created , brilliant video thank you 👍

I enjoy all the small references in your videos, am pretty sure I heard a snatch of ‘bizarre love triangle’ followed by a soupçon of ‘reward’. Did not recognize the framed photo this time.

Aaaaaah the lately bass! I’m using the Arturia DX7 and have imported all the ROM cartridge presets - I trawled the net for everything! The DX7 has a sound that is very malleable and has a unique flexibility that lends itself to additional processing like the distortion etc. We use them for twinkly sounds, basses but also for ambient washed out sounds, which it excels at. Only recently learned how much FM is used in modern electro.

Great point at the end. I’ve asked this question a lot - can you separate the art from the artist? My answer: it entirely depends. I’m still listening to MJ, I don’t give a shit what people claim. I’m not convinced either way but the music is on another level. Cheers!

Great video! I thought you were using a slide right away. I thought you may have tuned a string or two but I was assuming there were pedals involved. Will definitely try and shoehorn this into a tune or two in the future.

Just a wonder. Those of us with a software model d and several midi controllers, will assigning all the dials on the software to a midi controller dial effectively achieve the same result. Sure we won’t have the same analog flux or de tune, but from a pure learning perspective will it give me the same learning experience? I would love to buy a whole room of synths and gates, step sequencers, drum machines and the works, but realistically the lack of cash flow as an aspiring musician sort of rules it all out. As you said a but too late for some of us, owning a plug-in has just about zero resale value so trying to make a sandwich out of the dog’s breakfast is about all some of us can hope for. Any practical advice is appreciated. (Btw: love the channel and learning so much so thank you immensely)

Holy Sh!t... Mind Blown... The Human League track you covered is ABSOLUTELY F'ing AMAZING !!!!!! Thank you !!! Your explanation about musicians who were terrible people and their music was also excellent. This is the first video I have seen of your channel and I don't need to watch even one more to know I want to subscribe. Really looking forward to whatever else is in your other videos !i!i!i!i!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah all e's. Yawn. Lol

Beautiful hypnotic

Interesting! I think I also hear this kind of sound on some of the late 70s and early 80s Wire albums

You caint hold the art in arest or damnation cause its creator was a tortured soul

I bet you could so do beatie boys sabatoge or like intergalactic with this tunning and techniques

I bet you could so do beastie boys sabatoge or like intergalactic with this tunning and techniques

I use a fairley big deep socket for a slide on my pinkie i use to use a bit of copper tube or a glass tube one i bought out of a shop in them days i use youre technique of finger placement for the slide the tunning i used or still use from time to time dgdgbd

Oh yer doubling youreself on the 2 e strings or the tunning thank you brother weather iam wrong or just plain crazy youre forcing me to think and thats great

A slide no doubt i figured it out note 1and that pedal i have that doubler/ octive down pedal

New subscriber here that was bloody amazing! It's common in house music during a build up - to have a rising noise sweep usually 4 bars long, or over hanging into the next bar to aid transition. I was planning to do this with my Neutron. But now I'm going to zero in on that frequency!

Gary Glitter must be feeling pretty lonely now, as his two best mates are dead. The last surviving of the big three infamous UK predators (the others being Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris)

Mind properly blown, thank you for the professional presentation of this simple and elegant technique.

I was going to say some sort of fuzz pedal but you didn't mention that, so..... Update: well I'll be darned.... Finally: you never cease to entertain, inform and amaze.

Holy crap .. thanks

There’s a couple of tunes where all strings are tuned the same. Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls and parts of Rocket Man by Elton John.

"Glam rock" is an 80s term. The correct term is "Glitter rock".
