Absolutely excellent cover, you really captured Buck's style and the details of this song including subtleties in strumming IMO! Phenomenal, thanks for sharing with us!!!
Yes it's so understated - plus nails a jangly Ric tone on his studio/ tribute LP. Buck uses a LP live mostly Puzzles me Buck carrying a 2nd guitarist they don't cop that trem riff live - thats the kill hook ⚡ 🤔
@@SkinnyLuthor No you deserve all the praise you receive. One day I want to see you on a stage playing your covers and any original music you have. You rock dude!! Make sure I get back stage passes for me.
Fantastic! At one point I plugged into my older Fender Mustang II amp a year or two back, and somehow i had it sounding just like the record, which was weird. Maybe it was the Vox AC30 amp model, not sure. I was wondering, this song is weird in the way that Peter only uses the tremolo at key moments (on the D or A chords etc.), so how did you manage that for this video? Using a foot switch, or just engaging the tremolo on the pedal as needed? The entire rhythm part does not have tremolo, of course. For the solo I would just bend the piss out of certain notes, and that suffices to some degree. Do downward bends etc.
@@SkinnyLuthor I didn't bother with tremolo the few times I've attempted the song. I have a Zoom G1X4 processor which might be usable for that though. Do a patch with tremolo on it and just kick it in when needed.
@@SkinnyLuthor dude practice makes perfect It's so smooth I thought you were doing a theremin waving tripping that A chord -such a quick in and out! Great job awesome 👍
@@SkinnyLuthor I see. It's a lot easier when you have a song that requires delay or whatever the whole way through. I was playing a ton of Flock of Seagulls recently, I Ran of course, and just set the goddamned delay for 305 ms and let it rip that way the whole song.
Did you end up having to tune up a little or pitch shift after the fact? I know its a little higher than standard 440. Great cover though, perfect tone man!
Thanks man 😁 It's a 2017 Les Paul Tribute T but it's pretty similar to the Studio 👍 legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2017/USA/Les-Paul-Tribute.aspx

My favorite REM song
My favourite too, excellent guitar 🎸 riff.

I love these because I just watch the chord changes and get it. No "let's begin on the D. This is a D, people"
Sensacional
Nice.
Nice 👍
Woah! That old Les Paul of yours sounds like a million bucks.
A million Peter Bucks?
@@dopiaza2006 this comment gives me Rapid Eye Movement
@@Gemories Sweet dreams!
more REM!
You are a LEGENDARY ROCK GOD!! Just incredible! Now pur it in our fan group
You are far too kind sir! 😏

Thanks! I used my Boss TR-2 pedal on a pretty choppy setting and just clicked it on and off as needed 👍 Took me a while to get the timing right 🙈😆

@@SkinnyLuthor Nevermind I just added a patch on the Zoom with Trem., the VoxAC30 cab., and some compression. That should do it.
What no backwards solo? Jk awesome
I’m now a follower ( I’m not worthy) brilliant cover fantastic cover. I now want that pedal, any advice thank you
Cheers dude 😁 It's a Boss TR-2 Tremolo pedal 😉👌
Thank you
How you activating your trem efx?
You just waving your hand or hitting that TR2?
I'm just stomping on it at the right point, took a bit of practice to get it right 😅

Even if you didn't use a VOX AC30, your tone is very close! The backwards guitar solo is a difficult to copy.
👍

No, the recording I used from the greatest hits seems to be in E standard 👍
is that a studio les paul? i've got a 70's tribute that looks just like that but it's a studio. tone is perfect on this - good job!

Mind to share what types/brands of tremolo are you using?
Hi mate, I'm using a Boss TR-2 Tremolo. The full signal chain is in the description 👍
Is that a tremolo pedal or a delay used on here? Boss?
It's a Boss TR-2 Tremolo 😊 all the pedal and gear info is in the description 👌
What fx pedal are you using ?
Hey man, all the pedals I used are in the description 😉👍
Nicely played, very accurate...but it just beat the sound of that damn Rickenbacker. I wish they were a couple thousand cheaper.
Turn your tremolo up a bit faster dude
