      This actually isn't isolated with any software, this is the actual guitar track from the studio before it was put in the mix. Also if you listen closely at the very end of the video, you can hear i think Ted Templeman talking.

    • @scottarivett496
      @scottarivett496 10 місяців тому +1

      He’s stomping the flanger on and off during that part. It’s all one guitar take. No dubs (which would’ve been easier). Eddie liked to always play as live as possible, even in the studio. The rest of us mere humans usually overdub and use multiple tracks.

    • @vidmachine
      @vidmachine 10 місяців тому +1

      The “rate” of swoop on the flanger is set to the tempo of the song more or less. So at the end of a measure, the swoop goes back up. It’s not tricky but he really had it set in the sweet spot. The EVH Flanger pedal by MXR has that mode preset with a switch. I’m guessing that the flanger is always running but gets kicked in when he steps on it. I’ve seen him live a few times and he steps on pedals for just a few notes or a phrase sometimes. Master of all guitar stuff he was.

      Well, is a typical chord movement I-IV used in thousands of riff-based songs. Probably before Stones, Motown music used it already or in early blues guitar alternate tunnings that allowed easier fingering, as keith Richards figured out. Could be more plausible in Kiss "Rock & Roll All Nite" ?. Not a rip off per se
