If anyone's interested in hearing an album that is basically built around this technique, Angels And Airwaves' "We Don't Need to Whisper" basically uses it on 90% of the tracks. The music might not be to everyone's taste but they do use the 8th note delay in very interesting ways !
Tom started experimenting with Boss DD-6 Digital Delay on the Box Car Racer album, used to experiment with Boss BF-3 Flanger on the self-titled Blink-182 album. So Angels & Airwaves is a tribute to U2 and The Cure as part of their influence. The other side is his punk legacy.
I've been using tap tempo and timed delay pedals for thirteen years and never once thought about using the 4:3 trick. That's so simple I can't believe it. Thank you!
The Beatles “We can Work it out” is a great example of going from quarter to dotted eight notes. At least that’s how I think of it. When it gets to that “so I will ask you once again” part, Ringo goes to a beat that’s 3/4ths of the regular beat of the song. So when thinking about how to tap in dotted eighth notes based on the quarter note, I just play a version of ‘We can Work it out’ in my head that’s in beat with the song I’m playing and then I jump into the “ask you once again” part to get the dotted eighth note tapped in properly.
@LetsGoOverground You're Correct. and i didn't think it was funny; 'cos i've heard a lot of so called experts make that comment about his seriously hard work. he is aware of things guys like whoever (i don't want to know his handle) (oh; and i just noticed yours-good one-Zooropa, kids) made that clever little jab Wish they could do. but it takes more practice than just connecting the dots to learn some Van Halen (respect) solo. not least of which is also being a Part of a Band-not an interchangeable Trick Shooter. Cheers.
@@beeftheheat It was in fact a clever comment, and it was funny. Part of life is humor. I suggest you relax and enjoy life. We get it, he's your favorite Guitarist. That's great. Edge is known, Hell he is famous for his Delay. He himself would laugh at that. BTW, he is no EVH. In the Documentary It Might Get Loud, Jimmy Page and Jack White left your boy looking lost.To each, his own.
5 years ago Paul gave me privatelessons here in the Netherlands. He was kind and very good in his job. That was the way to become one of the world's greatest guitar teachers. Go Paul go. I will follow you. And promised: I will never put strings on a guitar like I did :)
Bach! Cello Suite! Sounded amazing using the delay. Cathedral, Surr Moon, Flight of the Wounded Bumble Bee, Street Have No name all are great for this trick but I did not expect to hear Bach. Molto Bene!
This guy invented for the first time these sounds in the 70's U2 were not even born,and Simple Minds are WAY better than U2 ua-cam.com/video/khejrbgdc4w/v-deo.html
margix that sound is Steve Lillywhite ergo Johnny Marr , The Edge or charlie Burchill. The edge got his big break by discovering harmonics and balanced conflicting delays that then expanded while working with Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Michael Brook. Then working with Flood he started working with cv controlled lfo controlled arp odyssey like modules. Of course he works with his own technician so it’s been awhile since he has done his own shoegazing

After subscribing yesterday I spent almost 8 hours watching most of your videos, I have only been playing for about 6 months and I have to tell you, you are far better then any instructor, I have learned more in those 8 hours of videos then I have in the last 6 months. Thank you for your time sir.
@@sandy.redding TC Electronics Flashback. The TC Electronic pedals seem to be good value. They have been a good way to try out different types of pedals without going overboard $$$.
After combing through so many YT vids on dotted notes (explained verbally only by music theory nerds), you SHOWED how dotted notes work by PLAYING them. Thanks!
I usually figure out the tempo of the delay through maths: You take the BPM of the song you're playing, divide it by 3 and multiply by 4. Example - you're playing a song with 120 BPM. You divide it by three and get 40. Then you multiply it by 4. End result - 160. So you tap a 160 BPM delay sound.
For anyone that uses ToneStack on IOS there are several delay pedals within the Motherload IAPs including DuckWalk Taproom and Delay Tripper that all have a dotted 1/8th note setting when you turn on BPM Sync, Sync or Delay Sync respectively. Massively psyched to find this out and get instruction from Paul how to use it!
Respected Sir, I'm extremely thankful to you. For few days I have been trying to find out this trick. But was confused before watching this. Thankyou again. Love from India
That trick to get the dotted eighth notes while staying in the quarter note setting is great!! I can set my stomp box to dotted 8 but it's a long process of inserting a cable, hold down the on/off switch, turn a dial, etc...which takes too long and is stuck in that setting until I reverse the procedure. So with the 3 over 4 poly-rythmn I can leave the pedal set to quarter notes and jump into dotted eight on the fly! It took some practice but I have it down! Thank you so much!! So
Wow, I think about those little Soundpages once in a while. I had forgotten what they were called, but occasionally I'd try to explain the concept to a youngster: "Well, it was attached between pages of a magazine, like a subscription insert. Made of really thin vinyl, so it flexed. You'd cut it out, it was smooth on the bottom so they'd tell you to tape a coin to it so it wouldn't slip as it tried to make a revolution on the turntable with the weight of the tone arm on it..." Then, spying the glazed over, uncomprehending expression of the bewildered Millennial I'm talking to, I try another approach: "Well, a magazine was a thing made out of paper, with words printed on it... No, not an app -- paper and ink were physical things. So was the disk. Ah, y'know what? Forget it." Then I say: "It was free." The kid lights up. "So, free... like MUSIC!" Great playing, BTW. I've watched and listened to a lot of your demos and performances.
OK between the intro and the feng shui during the instructional (the lamps with the tiny plants [cacti?succulents?]) you or whoever is on your team are a visual MASTER ARTIST.
I love the way this guy explains stuff and shows you what he's doing step by step. Fantastic teacher. Fantastic video. If only all of youtube was like this.
The beginning video is fantastic. All those people with their constant chatter and interaction all of them winging their way through their analogue lives with digital music in the background. Bach seems a good contrast. He would have loved digital music.
See also Van Halen's "Cathedra"l. I don't know if it's exactly a dotted eight note, but it's a similar concept of the delay hitting in between the notes.
I have been using dotted 8th delays for years but never fully understood how it worked. You made the dotted 8th delay so EASY to understand! You’re a phenomenal guitar/music teacher, Paul! Thank you for your on-going excellent content! 🤘🏽
Hi Paul Davids, if you ever read this comment, I want you to know that I have been following and subscribing to you channel for a few years now. And I must say that I have improved my guitar skills after watching every video you posted. I have been playing for eight years now and I must say you are a music genius. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Great explanation Paul. I learned this technique a very long time ago, when delays were explained to me by a few great producers years and years ago. It not easy sometimes for beginners to "get" how delay timing works, and how the dotted eight note works with delays. SO many artists use this and its great when you find a way to explain it so that players actually understand and can make really god use of the delay, instead of just finding cool stuff...LOL If that makes sense. Great vid.. this will help a TON of people figure out great sounds and patterns...I bet the sale of delays just spiked!..
Nuno uses the same effect for Flight Of The Wounded Bumblebee. In his case delay is before the amp distortion and with short feedback. So it's not always "the Edge" delay with dotted 8.
You are without a doubt the best guitar UA-camr I’ve found. Your videos are interesting, informative, and well made. You give off a trusting and homely aura and play beautifully without making me jealous or coming off as cocky. Totally awesome channel, keep it up hopefully we’ll hit the 1million mark soon!
Congratulations on the 1 million subscribers Paul, well deserved. I believe you are one of the very best guitar teachers out there. Many thanks for all your huge efforts and great lessons.
wish I would have found a video like this about 6 years ago when I was learning this. I heard a friend do it and had to figure out how to do it myself by just experimenting. I really enjoyed the explanation of it all.
Paul, congratulations for the lesson, excellent as usual. An alternative that I have always used to be able to set a delay that doesn't have the "dotted eight" function or a tap tempo is to set the repetitions so that they beat every last sixteenth of the first quarter (which is easily identifiable as it is the sixteenth precedent in the second quarter). It's just a different point alternative to yours and maybe it can be useful. But the two concepts are essentially the same: dividing the beat into sixteenths "1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a" the dotted eight is on "the 1, the a of the 1, the + of the 2, the e of the 3 and the 4. " then the beat resets itself and starts again. So my trick is to set only one repetition and set it on the "a of the 1" High level of theory nerd here :D Thanks for the video
Reminds me of "Awake" by Tycho, but listening to it again, it sounds like the different instruments are just offset or syncopated or whatever you call that
Excellent lesson. I've used dotted eighths, but didn't really know how they worked. You cleared that right up! Great video, great editing, great content.
I LOVE using dotted 8th note delay. It's super fun when you make your own songs sound hella cool. Dude you're super inspirational! Love watching your videos! They keep me focused on creating more music
Wow, Paul. The start of the video was basically me watching a professional film or documentary. So good! Top of the line content, whether it's about the guitar or just the editing! Cheers in advance to 1M Subs! Extremely well deserved. Be proud!
Paul Davids takes the ring to Mordor and returns with three new rings! Awesome! You really rock, dude! Learning a lot from your vids! Thanks for sharing!
Honestly, it's super easy to play. Especially if you have a good ear, which Paul obviously does. The chords are quite easy to distinguish and the rhythm is simple
Excellent demonstration and lesson. I’ve come across this just from playing and noticing it but didn’t realize it was called that. I’ll definitely have to play with this more!
Paul, whatever you play, it sounds and feels clean and amazing. It really stimulates me to experiment further and better myself as a guitar player, overall.
Very helpful, I'm filling in with a group next week and several songs have 8th note delay intros, I normally use analog delay set low for base tone, and digital set to a couple repeats for solos, thanks!!

I've been using tap tempo and timed delay pedals for thirteen years and never once thought about using the 4:3 trick. That's so simple I can't believe it. Thank you!
That's the best way to practice keeping the tempo. Even small tempo mistakes destroy that magic sound.
The Beatles “We can Work it out” is a great example of going from quarter to dotted eight notes. At least that’s how I think of it. When it gets to that “so I will ask you once again” part, Ringo goes to a beat that’s 3/4ths of the regular beat of the song. So when thinking about how to tap in dotted eighth notes based on the quarter note, I just play a version of ‘We can Work it out’ in my head that’s in beat with the song I’m playing and then I jump into the “ask you once again” part to get the dotted eighth note tapped in properly.

Dude the edge invented the dotted 8th technique you know and love

love using dotted 8th note delay, sounds very dreamy and wide open.
The only down side to Paul's popularity is, too many commercials in the videos. Best tutorials on UA-cam though, thanks
Very nicely explained..I believe The Edge from U2 is the god of this note..!
Congratulations on the 1 million subscribers Paul, well deserved. I believe you are one of the very best guitar teachers out there. Many thanks for all your huge efforts and great lessons.
For the first time ever I got this to sound right with my delay. The key was playing along with a metronome. Thanks.
wish I would have found a video like this about 6 years ago when I was learning this. I heard a friend do it and had to figure out how to do it myself by just experimenting. I really enjoyed the explanation of it all.
As a cellist I'm happy to discover that interpretation of the Prélude!
Paul, congratulations for the lesson, excellent as usual. An alternative that I have always used to be able to set a delay that doesn't have the "dotted eight" function or a tap tempo is to set the repetitions so that they beat every last sixteenth of the first quarter (which is easily identifiable as it is the sixteenth precedent in the second quarter). It's just a different point alternative to yours and maybe it can be useful. But the two concepts are essentially the same: dividing the beat into sixteenths "1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a" the dotted eight is on "the 1, the a of the 1, the + of the 2, the e of the 3 and the 4. " then the beat resets itself and starts again. So my trick is to set only one repetition and set it on the "a of the 1" High level of theory nerd here :D Thanks for the video
This trick is how i learned how to play harmonys in scales and also a fun way to work on your speed you have to start over if you miss a note.
Reminds me of "Awake" by Tycho, but listening to it again, it sounds like the different instruments are just offset or syncopated or whatever you call that

sounds dreamy - I rarely use delay for this kind of effect more to add a litte depth to the overall sound.

I have a tap delay on my amp and it takes forever for me to dial in a dotted 8th. Thank u for explaining how to do it that'll make it so much easier.
My goodness I love your cinematography and teaching style.
Paul, whatever you play, it sounds and feels clean and amazing. It really stimulates me to experiment further and better myself as a guitar player, overall.
This is the video I have been searching for. Thank you for explaining this so clearly for me.
Very helpful, I'm filling in with a group next week and several songs have 8th note delay intros, I normally use analog delay set low for base tone, and digital set to a couple repeats for solos, thanks!!
