    You're very kind. The guitars provide plenty of incentive to continue practicing--that, and I love just seeing them out, sitting in a guitar stand...

      I should leave my comment on your video.
      Can I get the details of the score? I probably can't get a huge data. Because I only have a mobile phone with my email address. I don't have any PC and Mac...

    Woah! Great stuff Sir! Been trying to figure out this song forever and this really helped me unlock this song. I love your Style Council stuff Modfather, me being a 13 year old people my age don’t really like these stuff but I certainly do! Anyways, great tutorial! Been wondering what effects you were using too.

    • @modfather1965
      @modfather1965  3 роки тому

      Hey Nate... You already have fabulous taste in music. ;-) I did a lesson on this song too, BTW.
      As far as effects here, it's a bit complex, as I'm playing through two amps here, and running through a Boss ME-50 multi-effects pedal, with some reverb, chorus, and compression running. I dial that to taste, to get the best tone I can.

    • @nate-orito7990
      @nate-orito7990 3 роки тому

      Thank you for your reply sir! I just learned the song from you a while back and I really love it and my Dad does too! Thanks very much for teaching the song and how to get the tone. 😁

  • @modfather1965
    @modfather1965  11 років тому

    Geeze, I don't remember. I typically use the "top end" so that I can directly manipulate the treble, etc. The main enhancement is the Boss ME-50 multieffects pedal... That allows me to dial in whatever sound I want.
