he’s recording to a loop pedal and constantly playing over/adding to it

@@syvlcommuter Yeah I know. I'm very familiar with the band. I'm talking about the part he's playing right there. Unless he's playing the same notes a quarter note ahead so that it gives that "duplicated" sound?

@@BrunoOfCanadayes, he’s playing off of the loop by playing the notes an eighth note ahead of what’s being looped, technique-wise he utilizes a very strange hybrid pick as well as note placements on his guitar being used to compliment the open strings. overall just a very strange and unique playing style

@@syvlcommuter OHHHH You're right. I've been trying to nail down the parts of this album for a long while now and I've never encountered that. I know that trick of playing things slightly ahead of each other is a STAPLE of Ian's playing (during this era at least), but this is more of like an audio illusion. It's just so well done, wow.

Amos prior professions and his claim "I am not a prophet nor a son of a prophet" (7:14) indicates that Amos was not from the school of prophets, which Amos claims would qualify him as a true prophet. Amos' declaration marks a turning point in the development of Biblical prophecy. It is not mere chance that Hosea, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and almost all of the prophets given significant coverage in the Hebrew Bible give first of all the story of their special calling. All of them seek to protest against the suspicion that they are professional prophets because the latter discredited themselves by flattering national vanities and ignoring the misdeeds of prominent men.[5]
