Mean Street intro?

[Big Troubles]

I know the notes. I know its two fingered tapping, using the thumb. The only think I cant figure out, is what effect am I to use? I cant get that sound. I always seem to hit the strings hard to get that sound out. Do I need more distortion? Is it in the flanger?

any ideas? Thanks.

er... try talent

[Big Troubles]

not nice...now Im gonna have to cunt you down.

Dude, its in his fingers - plain and simple. Yeah, his actual tone is killer, but it'd sound like a frozen bucket of piss with a popsicle stick stuck in it if he didn't have the 2 best hands of all time.

Fuck Rolling Stone.

I know its talent and fingers. I want to know if its dry or not. I want to know what pedal to use. Sounds like a flanger or some distorion. Maybe the gain is cranked. so if you dont know the answer, why reply?

Ed's tone isn't overly distorted to be honest, and there is no flanger going on there. There MIGHT be a slight phase going on, but I've seen him do this many times live and he doesn't do anything special, effects wise. It IS all in his fingers. Don't forget about the left hand mute that is going on at the same time as the tapping with the right hand.

Thanks. appreciate it.

He turns his volume down a little bit too, don't forget.

Ahhhhhh, write your own stuff and let the masses try to copy you instead...

LOL, I never could play that particular section so we always started at the main riff and drove it home.

Funny how the crowd never missed the intro, lol.

[Mr Grimsdale]

...isn't that exactly what Brian Young does?

At least that's how it started in London.
