    You've gotta cover their bass tone as well, I find (especially on songs like ritz to rubble) it was a huge part of their sound, even to now

    I've been waiting for this video for a while. Huge respect to you Harry! Hats down that you could get your hands on the exact same pedals they used during this era (H&K Rotosphere and the Pro Co RAT). I can't wait for part 2 (Humbug-SIAS era).
    I hope you're planning to make a video of their current live gear. I'm still amazed how beautiful Jamie's live tone is 😍

    Bordering on Punk is the best way to describe their sound, their tone can go from soft and sweet to gnarly and pissed off so quickly

    Hey man, nice video. I don't wanna criticize your job, but you forget to mention that Jamie Cook used a Big Muff and Distortion + in the first record. Also, Alex and Jamie used Bad Cat Amps for a while before the second record.

    • @HarryAndAGuitar
      @HarryAndAGuitar  Рік тому

      Yes he used those pedals a lot, but much more for the second album, I don’t think he used them at all to record the first album, the tones are too simple on the first album, there’s no way he used a muff anywhere…

    Hi Harry, how are you? I really like your videos, especially the ones about arctic monkeys, red hot chili peppers, the black keys and others. I saw your video "How Arctic Monkeys Defined Their Early Sound" and I was thinking, wouldn't you like to make/would you be interested in making a video of arctic monkeys explaining how delays they use, like sound examples, testing, talking about ms and repetitions, also about the slightly saturated sound as "clean" and about the distortion/fuzz, for example, using a boss sd-1 (which happens to be what I have, and I bought it precisely to play this type of sound/e also because of the new frusciante board :D) like slightly saturated sound and a fuzz face/big muff as distortion/fuzz or even if none of those fuzz works, use the rat and why use rat. If you are interested, also analyze the modulations, phaser/chorus/rotary/505 (and if you can use it with whammy, that would be wonderful).
    So far, your channel is the one that deals most deeply with the arctic monkeys band, so I think it would be interesting both for you to do and for people who like to watch.
    We really like your channel, and don't just stick to this band, you can do it for anyone, thanks for the help you always give us!
