Does anyone know what effect Randy Rhoads used on the Crazy Train intro after he does the slide? Also, does anyone know what David Gimour's (Pink Floyd frontman) main effects are? Thanks you guys, Peace.
dunno about rhoads but gilmors set up is http://www.mikesguitarsite.co.uk/gear/pink_floyd/index.php?page=effects good luck getting any of it though.
I dont want to play like him, I just want to play psychedlic music. and who better t look to for hints other than David Gilmour? and for Randy, I'm ctually learning Crazy Train at a very good pace.
Barrett used an early echo effect and a zippo. Gilmore and roads both use countless effects and settings for certain songs. I wouldnt consider roads psychedelic at all.
Thanks ALOT about Syd's stuff. But is that all he used? and do you know what guitars he used? and Randy isnt. I just wanted to know the effect for the song. Thanks alot, and It'd be really helpful for the stuff on Syd Barrett. Take care
I'm not at home right now, I'm visiting my parents, but I have a book I'll post up from. It's got every piece of equipment Syd ever used with the floyd. I'm not going to post gilmour's list though, since it's several pages long. Typically for a guitar he used a telecaster esquire with mirrored discs glued onto it though. The delay pedal I've got was like $150 I'd say for something you can really go crazy with plan to spend at least that. But you can get ones for cheaper with fewer controls. I'll be home Sunday and will post that up for yah. Send me a PM if I forget.
In case your interested, I'm in a band called Syd and we play psychedelic blues/funk along with random covers. Usually when we write psychedelic kind of song we just improv it out on our acoustics, then go back over and play it again with whatever effects we decide we want and with other guitars if we want. That way we get sound music and not just all effects, you know? Anyway, this is one of our demo versions (acoustic) of a song we improved called "Sunshine Acid" when we get the electric version done I'll send er over if you're interested. http://www.urbaneden.ws/hosted/syd/Hey Ladies/Sunshine.mp3
Its awesome man. So you guys are gonna go over it with electric and add effects? I think it sounds pretty professional. Great job.
Yea basically just jam it out again with the electric guitar and effects pedals. But we like being able to play the tunes acoustically too, without any equipment. So we write it acoustically then experiment from there.
thats some good music keep it up... if I may can you make it darker(in a Pink Floyd dogs kind of way?
we've got a couple songs like that but none recorded yet. We do some floyd covers and other classic rock: www.myspace.com/seeSYDrock
