Tremolo trippy notes

[@jrpipik]

This is terrific. You can hear Dewey breathing in the drum track and Stephen tapping time on his guitar in his lead vocal.

[@redchandler]

I was really amazed at what the bass guitar, acoustic and electric guitars were actually playing!

[@annettebell2101]

It was sooo cool 😎 hearing Bruce Palmer's bass line isolated like that. I always try to listen for the bass in Buffalo 🐃 Springfield's music. He certainly was very meticulous. Thank you.

[@annettebell2101]

Love the isolated track on Bruce Palmer's bass! Such an immense talent! Bruce Palmer was always my favorite member of Buffalo 🐃 Springfield. Rest in peace ✌ my precious Bruce Palmer. Love you so very much!

[@bassfiddlesteve]

Wow, no one really plays this right. The bass is pretty low in the mix, so it's interesting to hear what Bruce Palmer actually plays. The guitar chords during the chorus are actually E- D-A-Bb diminished. Most people play a C major for that last chord.

[@myoungk]

Dang, I can’t believe after all these years I never picked up on that diminished chord. I knew something wasn’t right…

[@simon201]

But also how he seems to be playing a 'B' note on the bass over that Bb diminished? Don't know how that works but it seems to!

[@bassfiddlesteve]

@@simon201 yeah, there are a few unusual note choices in the bass part, like how he hangs on the C natural during the A major chord.

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

“No one really plays this right”? That would seem to include the members of the Buffalo Springfirld on this very recording. What a muddled bass line.

[@walkerharris2844]

I always play A7 and B7

[@annettebell2101]

Jonas Nordstrand! I have the same question, and I would say, "Yes". I definitely hear two notes played at once at one point by Bruce Palmer. He was soo meticulous so this is definitely intentional. Rest in peace ✌ my precious Bruce Palmer.

[@lawrencerasmus]

Thanks

[@myoungk]

Wow, I never realized how surf-y that lead guitar is!

[@rhayes73]

Young did a lot of surf music in the 60's

[@myoungk]

@@rhayes73 yes! I’m into it!

[@Glicksman1]

This song was added to the first album after it was released, replacing Stills' very good "Baby Don't Scold Me (You Got Eyes)", brightly up--tempo, with dueling Stills/Young guitars and their great harmony in the early Still fashion. The tracks on the first album were poorly and thinly recorded, and inadequately produced and mixed, but FWIW was recorded after those sessions and sounds a bit better. Their second album "Buffalo Springfield Again' is on another level of excellence altogether regarding the writing, singing, playing and the overall production which was in their own hands as the first one should have been. "Again" is their masterpiece and one of the great recording of that, or any era. There is a re-mixed version of the first Buffalo Springfield album, available in one of their boxed sets, where Steven and Neil tweaked it into sounding a lot better. It's hard to find, but worth checking out.

[@EricCirca]

Thank-you for this. It's very helpfu. Please consider doing othe Buffalo Springfield songs.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

This is The Buffalo Springfield.

[@jonasnordstrand8870]

Does anyone know if the bass is playing two notes at the same time in a point in the song?

[@annettebell2101]

Bruce Palmer and that meticulous bass line. Bruce Palmer is my all time favorite musician and artist 🎨. Rest in peace ✌ my darling Bruce Palmer.

[@obscurehighlights]

any chance you could do time between by the byrds or any of their stuff in general? love the channel!

[@krisscanlon4051]

Dewey's drums could be a sample! Funky!

[@OttoByOgraffey]

I wish the names of the players were included in the video.

[@goodbababadbaba6370]

You can see where Cobain got the idea for the verse of teen spirit

[@overjoyous]

I really can't, lol. Care to point it out?

[@jcjohnsong8570]

I don't know what software program you are using to isolate the instruments ... But the sound quality of the isolated instrument is so very good.

[@DarkKnightLives]

Try Guitar Pro

[@nox4298]

Far too clean to be a software isolation

[@marcbolan1818]

One bloody chord on chorus no one ever plays right - everyone assumes it is an E chord. Also, why the hell Furay and Stills never recorded together with those magical blending of their voices.

[@Briank51132]

Can anyone identify the last chord in the chorus?

[@Briank51132]

sorry,, about this question, I just saw the answer above,,,, Bb diminished

[@noproblemguitar7395]

Or A7. . . or C . . . or B7. . .or. . . This chord has started arguments forever lol. I like the Bb diminished now that I’ve tried it.

I wonder who it was that told Dewey to keep the fills so simple. Doesn’t seem like something he would do on his own.

[@jrpipik]

Keep it simple was how they recorded pop music in the 60s. Probably why Bruce's busy part is so buried in the mix.

[@myoungk]

@@jrpipik huh yeah interesting

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Its surfy caouse tremo I my surf buddies

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

Amazing that the members of the group were able to endure the tedium of these incredibly repetitious parts.

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]
