Johnny Marr lives about an hour from me, no joke. That's suprising seeing as how I live in the armpit of the south.

two of the best sounds ever, in one song

the nine AC30s all pulsing together is great

but the chord slide just before the vocals begin is right up there with the chord at the end of "a day in the life"

This song just came up on shuffle play... and I wanted to post here. The vibrato sound is pretty cool, according to wikipedia - this is how they did it:

Quote :

"The tune is built around a guitar chord that rapidly oscillates in volume. As to how the distinctive resonant sound was achieved, Marr gave the following account to Guitar Player magazine in 1990: The vibrato sound is fucking incredible, and it took a long time. I put down the rhythm track on an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb without vibrato. Then we played the track back through four old Twins, one on each side. We had to keep all the amps vibrating in time to the track and each other, so we had to keep stopping and starting the track, recording it in 10-second bursts... We did it in three passes through a harmonizer, set to some weird interval, like a sixth. There was a different harmonization for each pass. For the line in harmonics, I retuned the guitar so that I could play it all at the 12th fret with natural harmonics. It's doubled several times. "
