    Hey everyone, feel free to check out my descriptions in my videos! I go into detail about my gear, recording setup and the song’s studio information ✌🏻

      Hi Sam,
      I apologise for bothering but I have a dumb question. When I plug my Casino to a tube scream pedal and then to my interface it sounds so opaque, like colourless. I read the description where you say you’re using a Boost pedal too, does that really makes the sound of the guitar brighter and give it colour? Or maybe you processed the track using some plug ins?
      I’d really appreciate your help with this, since it is kinda driving me mad
      Thank you very much for your time 🙏🏻

      @@wolferthehawkeye hey thanks for your reply. Not a bother! I love nothing more than chatting about gear
      I did use an Analogman Bad Boost pedal and a King of Tone. These are more transparent boosts than a tubescreamer. However a TS should in theory work even better direct in, because the biggest problem with direct sounds is a lack of midrange. Which the TS has a lot of
      That said, the raw audio for this Casino didn’t sound great from the start. And I used Waves Abbey Road desk plug-ins to make it sound brighter, more compressed. EQ really helped a lot
      Hope that answers your question. I don’t usually like direct in tones but if you crank the gain all the way up like ‘Revolution’ it’s a gnarly tone.
      Thanks!

    Great stuff Sam. As a piano player and guitarist, your video is spot on to the record and the Epiphone Casino Hollow body guitar is exactly like what Macca played. One thing about this video that really strikes me is is Macca's very detailed riffs. Just learning them exactly is something. But imagine the detailed work and time needed to write the notes one at a time, until the song is completed. If he had written 10 great songs in his career it would be impressive. But this song is just one many dozens of song that he wrote back in the 60's and early 70's, each of which was its own masterpiece. This song and video just present us once gain with his musical genius.

    Really nice job. One thing -- in the verses, the fourth piano chord is a G with a C in the bass, not a B in the bass. You'd think the bass note would go down to B, following the pattern of the first two chords, but it doesn't. It's really easy to hear on the first verse, where it's just piano and vocal; a little trickier after that, when the bass guitar plays a G over that chord. But the piano, even there, is playing a C bass note over the G chord. Give it a listen. Keep up the good work!

    Absolutely brilliant cover. The guitar especially is just spot on.
    The piano part is also great, but as a fellow amateur pianist, I'd encourage you to learn more about how to finger chords and also use your thumb. I also used to learn songs with whatever fingering felt right to me, but when I later on had some actual lessons I had to relearn how to use my fingers, and everything got much easier after that.
    It's one of those things where you'll get by just fine the way you're doing it, but you'll improve immensely if you learn the 'right way' that takes into account how human hands work.

      Thanks! Other than piano and violin lessons as a child I picked up guitar at age 11. Then learned piano around 15. In 28 now 😁

    I'll say it does sound more agreesive than it would coming through an amp, a loud click at the 0:06 seconds mark on other isolated videos makes me think it was amp.

      It’s doubtful paul used any pedals on ‘McCartney’. Only effects are leslie, tremolo on the guitars coming from the twin. Only available overdrive pedals in late 60’s early 70’s were fuzzes

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Nicholas, I used my fender pro reverb vibrato channel for the tremolo. I can’t remember exact settings but probably something like-
      speed at 6-8
      Intensity 7-8

    Hey man, your use and praise of the King of Tone pedal, plus the story behind it, has me intrigued to the point where I wanted to see if it was really worth the hype. So I tried to buy a Prince of Tone off the Analogman website, just to know what it's like. Unfortunately, they're saying it's out of stock. Would you consider it ethical, if as a last resort, to buy a used Prince, or even King of Tone pedal off of Reverb or ebay?

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  Рік тому

      I definitely recommend getting on the king of tone waitlist. It might take 5 years to get, but even if you don’t want to keep it you can make a good resale profit on reverb after. I would recommend getting the MXR Duke of tone if the Prince isn’t available. Pretty much same pedal but easily available and smaller

      @@sampopkin maybe. I'd rather stay faithful to the band. But what exactly sets it apart from other pedals of its kind? Without actually being able to play through it, the hype around it almost seems akin to that of the Popeyes chicken sandwich.

    • @sampopkin
      @sampopkin  Рік тому

      Mxr Duke of tone is actually made in collaboration with analogman so it’s all the same. King of tone is just the most transparent and high quality overdrive. Works into any amp and you can do great clean boost settings. I love it for this reason. You get the sound of your clean amp but just slightly crunchier, no coloration

      Dude! Congrats. You’re gonna love an SG. The king of tone is definitely overhyped but in the way the Beatles are too. It’s the king for a reason. That said, there are other overdrive pedals that do a similar thing. Ehx soul food, boss blues driver, tube screamer
