Why are there no squeaks in the second Windowpane solo on Roundhouse Tapes?

[vhou812]

If I've understood the question correctly, then those "squeaks" are pretty much exclusive to acoustic guitars, which is why they're not on the live version which is electric only.

^astoundingly incorrect

 

[Commence Destruction]

its just string noise from the friction between fingers and....strings? often undesired as it can be distracting if transitions are numerous,letting your fingertips soak in warm water,and drying off before playing is a good way to minimize this sound if need be.

they are not exclusive to acoustics,as electrics can be eq'd to make this sound very loud if need be



Jack Frober is said to be composing an album entirely of these sounds,if anyone can make it work it would be him.

 

[Caesar Metallius]

lol why should it be called 'fret noise,' it doesn't actually have anything to do with the frets

How about finger scraping? It's similar to pick scraping.

....or maybe flesh sanding....

 

[Fyacin]

Flesh sanding is an appropriatley brutal title.

your wrongness is profound and multifarious

maybe because it's the noise when you fret (verb) your guitar

indeed.

 

[Fields Of Sorrow]

And you just bumped it

 

[{-sapob-}]

And you didnt with that post?

 

[Fields Of Sorrow]

But i didn't agree that it was a useless thread.

 

[Fields Of Sorrow]

Even though it is

 

[{-sapob-}]

but you just did lol'sies

 

[Tom_Vou]

true that.

I actually notice this a lot while listening to opeth.

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

Opeth have a lot of squeaking and string farting in their songs. It's quite bothersome, really.

 

[pyr0rrzzz]

It's not a useless thread - what's wrong with me wanting to know more about it?

 

[vhou812]

Really?...we are talking about the squeaky noises made when changing chords on an acoustic guitar quickly aren't we?. Or something else?

1. both electric and acoustic guitars, as far as i know, have strings, so both can make this noise

2. the studio version of windowpane uses electric guitars in that part, not acoustic

so as you can see, you are really quite wrong on more than one level. go read a book or something

The string squeaks sound natural, more 'live' than chopping up pre-recorded wave forms.

It is hard to play something perfect all the time with a click the way Mikael does, more so the genius that is him.

Electric guitars can make squeak noises if the strings are brand new, older strings not so much.

The first minute of Death Whispered a Lullaby is full of electric guitar (clean) squeaks.
