FYI, some quotes directly from the man about this http://archive.guitarplayer.com/archive/artists/improv.shtml "I'll play one note, and while the delay expends that note, I can bend it around and get this kind of manual chorusing." http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/2495/gp485_bf.htm Frisell began putting together the ingredients of his trademark airborne guitar sound in the mid '70s, and he often used his ingenuity to explore hidden ranges of timbral colors that are available with limited equipment resources. About 1975, he swapped his ES- 175 for a sad-looking, late-60s Gibson SG that served him well for several years, despite his penchant for tugging on the neck: "That neck is real flexible. There's hardly anything holding it to the body, so I bend it a lot. I'm still waiting for it to come off in my hands. It goes out of tune; if I play a chord, maybe a certain note will go out. By moving the neck a bit, I can bring different notes in and out of tune. I like that.' Combined with a delay unit, this hands-on technique can result in some disarming, woozy frequency sweeps. "I use a long echo on the delay," Bill explains, "and by bending the neck, it's like a manual chorus. When the machine is playing in the same time as the note you're fooling with, they rub against each other.' >From: "anti:clockwise" <anticlockwise@tensionheadache.org> >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Subject: frisell's neck >Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 17:45:04 -0500 > > > >well, i guess i did not describe accurately: >what i could swear i saw was bill f.'s hands on the machines, gently >tweaking them, >not the "neck rolf" as described by many weighers-in... > >but hell! if i'm wrong, isn't that what endorsement deals are for? > >hook me up, >a:c > > _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
