Gilmourisgod Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 He is a Ric Tone Monster. He does a tutorial on it, but it’s specific to his gear and software, so not much use to the crappily equipped among us. The whole band are killer players. I’ve been obsessed with learning Siberian Khatru lately, about half way through it and hitting a wall! Damn you, Squire! A magician with a Pick and a Ric. The bonanza of isolated Squire/Bruford tracks on Youtube is a goldmine, my admiration for Squire is undiminished after 40 years of listening. Quote
KiOgon Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Excellent! You can see why some people love the Ric sound, nothing else would cut the mustard on that. VERY very good, will listen to more of their stuff. Cheerz, John Quote
Witters Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 They’re great, aren’t they? Goes to show just how good the original is when you see it covered so well....or something like that! I can’t imagine anything like this being written these days. Back to Fragile at the weekend and try those bass lines. 1 Quote

Daz39 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah - every now and then I listen to the Classic Yes compilation with Heart of the Sunrise, Yours is no Disgrace and Starship Trooper on and imagine what it would be like to be that awesome. utterly gnarly, spitting tone with cut-through that nu-metallers would kill for, yet still backs off into noodly musings in between. *dramatic sigh* Quote
Bilbo Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I got 4 minutes in and then realised I had heard it before somewhere. Life is too short. Edited October 27, 2018 by Bilbo 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) It did remind me how important Bill Bruford was to the early Yes sound. Imagine what another drummer would have done with that opening riff. Edited October 28, 2018 by Bilbo Quote

Yes, it's surprising how good a Rick impression you can squeeze out of a Jazz. Geddy did it for ages, after all I get a decent Rickalike tone from my Sire, neck pickup through the Ampeg model on my Line 6 XT Live. Quote
