So proud of you sir bill, you hav amazing ambients music ...n awesome pedals💯❤️👍🏻 greetings from tambobo bay philippines

[@Zephyr49]

the thumbnail looks like a baroque painting

[@ghostradio5940]

I just have to say as sincerely as I can friend. That you have been so inspiring to me as a musician to look beyond my boundries. I have been for what of a better term a handyman musician my whole life. Playing many instruments equally within an even standard without ever pushing myself. My main instrument always being my voice. which has always been my source of confidence. But over the last few months I have realized that my soul of creativity has not been of my voice but of the DNA which I was birthed into. So now, because of your beautiful inspiration, I am going to embark on creating music from my soul and no longer from my talent. I just wanted to say thank you. You're the musical Dad I never had.

[@isvaramandala]

Sir, that's incredible, I feel like in the Troy movie

[@SidBarnhoorn]

Beautiful and very inspiring!

[@michaelfugate2404]

This is so powerful to hear... yet so soft and comforting. It pierces yet it protects. Incredible.

[@PioPeterDsouza]

Amazing! Surreal!

[@RuslanKalashnikov]

Looks(and sounds) like God himself is having fun with a guitar in the clouds.

[@chordsoforion]

Whoa! :-)

[@alexanderjosephross]

Imago Dei

[@chordsoforion]

Genesis 1:27. You too!

[@Darthflips]

Sounds like random noodling to me

[@popenihil]

Its just beautiful! Keep up the amazing work!

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks!

[@ellenbottas1982]

I love your sounds, and this video is really superb--the video processing completely meshes with what you're doing.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks very much!!

[@klauswhitedreamer]

Wonderful music !

[@charbaker]

I'm really intrigued by those chromatic bends.

[@lomparti]

I think to increase the dynamic range you shouldve thrown in a 60 second solo in the middle that was uplifting and slightly louder and very slightly faster, maybe another 15bpm, and then bring it back down. I definitely would like to here something like that from you in the future.

[@longships9373]

Outstanding

[@ReD_SnOw-ke2hn]

Dude you're music is so beautiful, it's like a violin but better.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks very much!

[@denisigorevichlobanov8593]

Ahh such wonderful music, always brings a bit of happiness and zen listening to your work so I hope you keep uploading! :) (I may or may not be secretly trying to copy your style and following your tutorials)

[@chordsoforion]

I will keep uploading, and I am quite humbled to know someone is interested in the stuff I am doing. Thanks so much!!

[@linushyper300]

Truly amazing. I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks!!

Thank you

[@kidpresentable]

Are you doing the Blade Runner 2 soundtrack?

[@chordsoforion]

I didn't even know about it. Just watch some of the trailer / preview clips. Looks cool!

[@z101dc1]

You should be doing the Blade Runner 2 sound track! Keep up the good work - keeps me sane

[@z101dc1]

And while you are at it can you do the sound track for Frank Herberts Dune 2 remake? You would knock it out of the park!

[@wc7511]

No, he didn't get hired for that gig, (and IMHO, the film suffered because of it!) ;0)

[@alankennedy5842]

Yet another fascinating video, Bill. I thought I was the only one into 'stuff' like this, but recently I've discovered I'm not a lone voice. Great stuff. Keep up the good work. Quantum of Dreams.

[@countjulu]

I should get on with it and buy a baritone already.

[@chordsoforion]

Agreed! :-)

[@macsarcule]

I was looking for a final video before bed and digging thru your back catalog to find this perfect gem. It was so perfect for today. Today marks 4 years since my fiancé suddenly passed away one morning. I lived a nightmare for almost 3 years after her loss. But I recently got the help I needed to combat the PTSD that was keeping me up at night, following every move thru my day, making me live the horror constantly in the back of my mind and sometimes not in the back. Remembering the loss on the anniversary is different this year. The grief is there. The deep pain is there. But the suffering is gone. I can grieve in peace now. That is what this song sounds like to me. Thank you for sharing this song, Bill, and for all that you share with us.

[@jmgcg]

This could be on Blade Runner 2049 OST along with Hans Zimmer songs

[@japanimeman1]

I saved your music on Spotify. love your stuff brother!

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks!!!

[@matthewcopeland6654]

Ringing in 2023 with this track. Hoping a prosperous new year to you all.

[@millichips1]

Well, this is inspiring. Thanks for posting, I'm going to try and create some ambient sounds for myself now :0)

[@chordsoforion]

Excellent!!! (and thanks!)

[@christopheranderson4114]

This is my favorite video of yours. Please forgive me for asking but what tuning is this?

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks for letting me know you like the piece! The tuning is BEADF#B.

[@SufyMusic]

you are my favorite musician, thankyou

[@tilleyroadaffairproduction6752]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment! I have found my tribe!

[@RomainRaynalComposer]

What a nice music you're doing! I love it, thank you.

[@tba210]

How old are you? How long have you been playing guitar? Favorite bands growing up?

[@chordsoforion]

Check out this Q&A from last summer. Has some of the answers. Thanks!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ66fZqnecuYpcU

[@tba210]

Thanks! I watched it. Can I ask a question? What's your personal favorite album you put out?

[@chordsoforion]

I am very pleased with my latest release "Nightfall". chordsoforion.bandcamp.com/album/nightfall That being said, I've gotten an immense amount of enjoyment producing all the COO albums!

[@Kmuggle]

Now you're talkin! Great tune Bill!

[@ubeeh]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece.

[@ambiguationdotnet]

wow

[@davidbartholomew6856]

Rich and dark like swimming in chocolate. Nnnnnnnnice.

[@savanaviolenta]

IMO Strymon best delay pedals are exactly what I'm gonna buy DIG and El Capistan for the variety of features and unique delay types.That paired with BigSky ,BlueSky ,immerse mission Engeneering EP25K holy cow

[@chordsoforion]

Those are all great pedals for sure!!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Lovely I've noticed KZbin keeps unsubscribing me from your channel I wonder how many people they are doing that to

[@chordsoforion]

Wait a minute! Really? I will report that to KZbin!

[@Kkidzz]

CoO, I am not sure if you're familiar with William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops...I think you'd really like his stuff. ;)

[@chordsoforion]

Will check it out!!

[@tomcarell]

IMHO it will be much useful to create soft string attack with POG2 fot thiss style of playing lead line. What do you think?

[@chordsoforion]

I generally prefer to use a volume pedal over an envelope filter, as I can vary the attack and release of each note. But certainly, you can get some great envelope effects with the POG2.

[@christwilson3267]

so glad your stuff keeps showing up in my suggested videos. Ambience takes a certain degree of skill and emotion, and I'm glad someone is showing the folks at home that. Gonna go grab my guitar now, thanks for saving my evening.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks for the encouraging words!!!!

[@bluestarorion]

MY GOODNESS! That's it... where can I buy this music? It's perfect for my sanity and playing Dungeons and Dragons.

[@chordsoforion]

This particular piece is only here, however there are 9 Chords of Orion albums on Spotify or wherever you stream music. In addition, Bandcamp: chordsoforion.bandcamp.com

[@bluestarorion]

@@chordsoforion Thank you sir! I really like the little jam on the most recent video as well. :)

[@robsgirl6465]

Bill, love the hat! But the eBow... Yes! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. I can afford that tool. So cool. By the way, I was chatting with a gear tech at Sweetwater, and he suggested that the Electro-Harmonix FREEZE pedal might could solve my drone problem since it's more in my budget that most of the gear you suggest. What do you think? Anyway, the meditation is utterly AMAZING!!!

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

Not bad...maybe a bit of kazoo would add that missing ingredient? Just kidding. You just made my mind up about getting one of these . Cheers! :)

[@chordsoforion]

Ambient Kazoo. I think you just invented something... :-)

[@marcusorangeboomivnone7490]

A new genre is born :)

[@RyanHarris77]

Shortly after NAMM 2017, I took delivery of one of the first Sky Fi examples from Alexander. The Sky Fi sounds like a 90s rack mount reverb and it has infinite and latching modes for Super long tails. Check it out if you haven't already. It can do ambient music.

[@RyanHarris77]

I don't think there are any demos on youtube yet. You have to check Alexander's Instagram feed to hear it. Or check out a little demo I did: soundcloud.com/diab0lus/alexander-sky-fi-demo

[@REKHAIYERNFE]

I so very deeply enjoy your videos...so much...the bliss flows and flows...blessings, love & light, from REKHA!

[@MindfulProgramming]

Yo are you rockin' Vivobarefoot? Subbed!

[@chordsoforion]

:-) Vivobarefoot and Vibram Fivefingers FTW!

[@neilgroves3592]

hey Bill....i notice your fingers pulling on strings 1,2 and 3....do.you have a lesson explaining what you are doing here?

[@chordsoforion]

Are your referring the "downward" bends that I was doing? No - I don't have any videos talking about that. Sounds like a topic to cover!

[@neilgroves3592]

no....the fingers on the right hand appear to be plucking those strings, sometimes together sometimes not, it produces some awesome drone sounds.

[@AS-mf7pp]

I think it's called hybrid picking

[@gb5uq]

Very nice. Not seen a GIZMO for a long time.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks! I assume you are referring to the EBow? If so, I have a bunch of vids here using it.

[@1978jazzbass]

Hey, I like other types of music mainly but your stuff is great. I wathed several clips. Its great. Feels like music from the ecm label. Dreamy but with real depth. Ambient music is often booring but I like this. My usual music is jazz/hiphop/soul etc. Keep it up

[@PortoAntico]

respect please

[@johnsmith7140]

Outta sight

[@thatellipsisguy8984]

1:50 on, those swells sound like a viola...

[@anonymous9678]

Wow I love the music. It is very inspiring to me I play to when I have a guitar thank you your music has touched my heart

[@LloydWoodall]

Where do you get these wonderful toys?

[@chordsoforion]

Oh, all the usual online music suppliers. Musician's Friend, etc. Strymon and Neunaber stuff I buy from Strymon directly.

[@3tmbn429]

Nice one.

[@H3nrySwans0n]

Epic

[@kevinsturges6957]

This is amazing! It sounds like an orchestra in a Nordic Noire cable series. You’ve given me so many fresh new ideas. Thank you so much!

[@AmbientJoe]

wow great drone tone. Very nice.

[@AmbientJoe]

also your the reason I've got the TC T2 reverb n sup n up and the Strymon bluesky. come check out my channel. would be amazing if youd do me a shameless plug at some point or we could do a collaborative ambient video.

[@arashlatifkar9357]

Loved the sounds and the Tele.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks and yes, the Tele is one I really like!

[@apostolfamily]

Found you when I was searching about the X4. Then, I got hooked to your music. Amazing! Wonderful!

[@robst247]

Instant transportation to a higher, wider, calmer, mellower plane.

[@badurskiroffli176]

Hello, nice video, what do you use to edit the videos ?

[@chordsoforion]

I am currently using Final Cut Pro X. I've also used Premiere Pro. Both of them are great, but FCPX renders faster on my Mac so it wins. :-)

[@RICKYBUBSJULIAN]

What is that doohicky in your right hand?

[@chordsoforion]

That is a Heet Sound EBow Plus. If you are interested in learning more, here's a tutorial I did on the EBow a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF6QhX6Ne7Whb8k

[@ColpoRosso]

oh yes! it's a ditto fest!

[@chordsoforion]

Yes indeed!!

[@SoundsandImages]

Beautiful composition, but the delay repeats are something else.

[@thatellipsisguy8984]

SoundsandImages when you check out over a minute before the end of the video and the sound keeps coming...

[@mhnoni]

I first thought this is a painted wallpaper.

[@tweedguitar9103]

I love your baritone guitar, a great instrument in this context. Is it a USA ? What gauge strings do you use ?. Do you ever do sound on sound with your delay and volume pedal only ? ( chord pad + independent melody work on top ) love your work, cheers

[@chordsoforion]

The Tele Baritone is a Mexican Fender. The strings are the Elixir electric baritone set - 12-68. Hmmm. I guess I would consider this video Sound on Sound (essentially that is what Frippertronics is) and I am doing independent melody work in this piece. For example 2:30 and following. Let me know if that is what you mean.

[@genepozniak]

That was SWEET! First time I watched a video of yours that wasn't a tutorial or review. I'm adding this to my mellow playlist. :-)

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks very much Gene!!

[@kidstereo4127]

@1:48sec company flow - "8 steps to perfection"

[@timbaugh1944]

Another great track Bill ..

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks Tim!

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

so you using an octave splitter?

[@chordsoforion]

Yes indeed. The TC Electronic Sub 'N' Up.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

cool, thought I could hear it. Looks like I need to buy some pedals lol :)

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

It's soooo good, but those clicks((

[@chordsoforion]

I am listening to it right now, and it sounds fine. I bet the clicks were coming from a bad Internet connection. Try it again when you have a chance!

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

My connection is fine, the problem is actually in the audio. Here's the spectrum of the first 40 seconds, the clicks are visible as vertical lines. drive.google.com/open?id=0B9a1PCl16uwrUGRqZ1JId21WUnc

[@chordsoforion]

I stand corrected. The clicks are actually in the performance audio recording itself. I went back to the original WAV file from the recording session. Not sure how I missed this. I tried the Izotope RX de-clicker plugin and sure enough it picked up and isolated the clicks. Hmmm. This might be worth uploading a corrected version. Definitely will de-click the audio if I release it anywhere else. Thanks for the sharp ears and feedback!! As a thanks (if you are interested), send me a private message here on KZbin with your email address and I'll send you a free download code for my album "Nightfall".

[@BipolarSmile]

Sounds beautiful,just lovely

[@JohnMurrayMusic]

Beautiful sounds !!!

[@KlausVonMork]

This is lovely! I'm signed up to your channel, but this is especially nice

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks!

[@SoundAuthor]

Man, that Tele really has a great tone. I'm loving my strats less and less these days.

[@chordsoforion]

Your comment just made me chuckle. I REALLY want to get a Strat! :-) But - the Tele baritone is pretty great...

[@SoundAuthor]

I've always preferred the feel of a Tele. I always block or deck the trem on a Strat for no other reason than I can't afford a good trem, and the cheap factory mechanisms tend to cause all kinds of tuning issues, so I just avoid trems altogether. Even the most expensive, professional trem setups will nock your tuning out of whack. Nope. I like hardtail guitars with neck/bridge pickups that let me play more and tune less :)

[@lightnintrucker]

Great job man! Love the drones. Keep up the good work!!

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks lightnin'!

[@christophersoren1768]

Intense! Loved it...very inspiring.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks very much!

[@pateoksanen5346]

My god! This is fantastic!

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks!!

[@WoofDaddyBigPlums]

I love ur work man. Kudos for your transparency and for the relaxing music. Do u have any experience with the hologram pedals?

[@chordsoforion]

Glad you are enjoying the content! I am not familiar with Hologram. Will check them out!
