@EndofMusic Great idea, but this particular technique requires a strong mono signal, but only some of the instrumentation to be mono. Otherwise, the music just sounds kind of thin and unremarkable. This and Only Shallow were the only ones that gave good results. But it's been a bit, so I can go through them and see if I can extract something better.
According to Kevin himself, this was recorded with a Gretsch guitar equipped with a Bigsby, as opposed to his typical Fender Jazzmasters / Jaguars. Thanks for posting this, now I can try and recreate it with my Gretsch!
Love the high overtones that sound like a piccolo or something The notes are suspended (fourths) that keep wildly resolving to the major third in another track that sounds like a randomly changing wah wah pedal.
@@ultrajayme shimmer is pitch shift + reverb, and that effect is not used on this album, nor was it ubiquitous in 1989-91 as it is today. the high notes are feedback/guitar recorded into a sampler, and then played back, transposing to different notes
@@herkuskaminskas1409 just saying you don't HAVE to have a jazzmaster or jag to play any specific type of music. Trem bar sure but it could be a mustang or something else.
I actually thought most of this album was like this until I got new speakers. My mind was fucking blown when I realized that some of the songs weren't just droning guitars layered over eachother.
@@BloodyArmourKnight but you have to have s pretty high whammy bar to be able to do it. Basicly you need to bend it in order to touch the strings, if you can hold it normally an touch the string it's not gonna work.
While I wish I could say that I called Kevin up and asked him to send me the original master tapes, the real answer involves playing around with channel summing and a low pass filter. (Not as cool, I know.)
@@cacaophonic939 Honestly that's much cooler, I've messed around a bit with that technique on some older tracks that had very obvious track panning, but wouldn't have thought to try it on MBV!
Thirty years old and it still sounds so fresh. MBV were so ahead of their time.
Sounds like a violin plugged into reverse reverb and distortion lmao it’s amazing
I love that. It's amazing the sounds they were able to make with just some amps and pedals.
@@cacaophonic939 yeah it really is a testament to human ingenuity

Sounds like a glass ribbon weaving through the sky

did you recreate it?

Shimmer reverb effect with reverse reverb gives it that time signature effect and piccolo of effect

This is how a kaleidoscope sounds like
the chords to this tune are so pretty
Amazing!!! Such a hypnotic sound. Glide is my favorite guitar technique ever, someday I'll get a Jaguar ou Jazzmaster and do it too :)
Well, when you do, please share some of your music so we can all hear it!
You don't need just one of those two guitars to do that. Just get whatever has an arm.
@@ultrajayme I have two
@@herkuskaminskas1409 I have a jazzmaster as well.

So incredibly thick and trippy. Pure genius
severely underrated song imo
to me it's one of Loveless's highlights
my fav song of this album tot so cool
wish there were more mbv isolated tracks
There is

ive always wanted this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, happy to be able to share it with you!
@@cacaophonic939 thank you. seriously ever since i heard it ive wanted to hear the guitar alone
Thank you for posting this. I look forward to hearing more isolated guitars in the future.
damn this is beautiful. I'd love to hear Sometimes with different bits isolated and/or out of phase.
Thank you! If only we had the ability to get the actual stems from the original recordings. Imagine what we could do with those!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing.
I totally agree! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
This would be great to listen to while you are dying.
Love this! Is it possible to get a flac of it?
Bien
nice idea!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
how are making these noises possible
crazy effects
after hearing it a few times, apart from the reverse reverb, i can hear a little bit of "wah,wah", how can i make that sound? with a wah pedal?
I always just chalked it up to pure voodoo, so I'll be of no help. But anyone else who's stopped by here, I'll open the floor to your ideas!
It’s the tremelo/whammy bar. You hold it while strumming for the “glide” technique
@@jaytealonlystoner thanks

There is an interview where he talks about how this was mostly done in the studio using samples of guitar feedback.
how th fuck they made that sound with a guitar
tremblo arm, reverse reverb, and probably a couple of other pedals
How did you do this?

I dont like this tune very much. Id like to hear isolated Only shallow guitars
look up "only shallow out of phase"
