Title: Some questions about Madagascar and Guitar Effects for those players on here Post by: monkeychow on March 06, 2007, 02:35:42 AM Hey folks,
I just recorded a cover of maddy for a bit of fun. Anyways...while in the process i noticed it has some unusual kinda sounding guitar thingie going on...in the leadish part during the chorus....hope u know the bit I mean...its something kinda like -----------------------|--------------------|-----------------------| -------------12br----|--10---------------|-------------12br----| -----------------------|--------------------|-----------------------| -----------------------|--------------------|-----------------------| -----------------------|--------------------|-----------------------| -----------------------|--------------------|-----------------------| --------------------10b--|-------15--------------------|--------------------| --10------------10-------|-----------12b-------12br----|--12----------------| -------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------| -------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------| -------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------| -------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------| --------------------------|--------------------| ------------------12br----|--10----------------| --------------12----------|--------------------| --------------------------|--------------------| --------------------------|--------------------| --------------------------|--------------------| (or thats what the tab i have says anyway LOL) Anyway...getting to the point....i'm confused who plays this part...it says its Robin in the tab, but i have some live vids where it looks like Richard is doing it, or part of it....but then i have a 2002 vid where it sounds like the tone of bucket's set up too...so i'm totally lost..... Anyway...so those in the know could you please share with me: (a) Who plays that part live? (b) The last note has such incredible sustain on some versions and has a kinda high shrill thing going...it sounds awesome!! Is it 1. Richard/Robin complimenting each other with octives or something 2. Some kind of awesome vibratto into a harmonic techinue that i cant do 3. Some kind of massive sustain pedal or something 4. All of the above or something else.... Thanks for any help folks - its been bugging me for ages now!

(a) - Richard Fortus. This tab is old and wrong (in RIR3 was Paul Tobias who played a weaker version of the riff). (b) - Richard uses a Fernandes Sustainer guitar (you can buy just the pickup and install in your guitar). You can learn more about it here: http://www.fernandesguitars.com/sustainer.html Here is the guitar Richard currently uses to play it (he used a different one in 2002): (http://www.richardfortusonline.com/rfo2//gear/Fernandes%20sustainer.jpg) Source: http://www.4tus.com/gear/gear2.htm Title: Re: Some questions about Madagascar and Guitar Effects for those players on here Post by: monkeychow on March 06, 2007, 10:34:55 AM Ahhh and that also explains how i was hearing that harmonic thing...what an awesome axe...i think i want one and NOW!!!

Or just the riff?
Title: Re: Some questions about Madagascar and Guitar Effects for those players on here Post by: W 23 AXL II on March 08, 2007, 04:04:17 PM Just that chorus riff.
i dont think there is an official maddy solo. BH had the best one, but so far, the leads havent blown me away for that songs solo |
