My Favorite Guitar Effect

[@viniciusleaoa]

You missed the most important moment ever: Kmac's "how it feels to make a mistake while using a delay pedal"

People can say what they want about The Edge, he makes delay sound so good! The beginning of Where the Streets Have no Name on the 360 Tour is one of my all time favorite, goose bump inducing live concert moments.

[@fatocaster97]

Hell yeah man, I was 11 when I saw U2 on the 360 tour (2008), wanted to play guitar ever since!

fittingly, the delay pedal makes the guitar repeat, and the edge makes the guitar repetitive

[@Deathaxel1998]

Rain has to be one of my favorite guitar videos on KZbin and especially when he recreated it without the pedals, it was really awesome

[@Outta-hz1ej]

My favorite use of delay is probably the sound at the start of Run Like Hell by the Pink Floyd

[@IanHolwood]

This is a great video. It'd be cool to see a whole series about it. Distortion, Fuzz, Flanger, Chorus... It'd be cool to see the series! Thank you for this video!

[@IanHolwood]

Also different guitar techniques! Harmonics, tapping, pinch harmonics, power chords, chugs, additional strings, thumping, slapping... seems like a series with a lot of options.

[@srinivasaragavanvasuvenkat7792]

Rain is an absolute pleasure to listen to!!! One of my favourite moments of delay is with the intro to Welcome to the Jungle by GnR as it introduced me to the effect as such and I was absolutely blown away!!!

[@punkysuns6540]

Happy to see Sammy G whipping out guitar face like it's boutta be paired with a case of Moosehead

[@TheRealcdawg22]

I haven't had Moosehead in years. Damn!

[@TibbelsNBits]

This video is so clutch. Literally just got a new delay pedal in the mail 10 minutes before this came out

[@zelcanada]

It's no small feat to write music that sounds like someone else, but isn't. Awesome video!

[@thebooleanworld9593]

Sammy G! I knew you were a great guitarist, but hearing you play in the styles of other greats makes me realize just how beautiful your phrasing and feel is! I need a full version of every song yesterday!

[@YouAreBaconMeCrazy]

Big Sur Moon by Buckethead immediately came to mind

[@Connorharding180]

This is now one of my favorite videos you've made. This is the most into playing I've seen you. Like you just really got into it! And I'm so happy you got Rob scallon in it

[@mikeyrey1503]

I was afraid slapback wouldn't make it into the tribute but bam it's the first one. Often overlooked but a classic.

[@ZethKeeper]

6th greatest delay effect moment: Kmac2021 making a mistake and that mistake pursues him till the end oh his life.

[@craigbrowning9448]

Another early name in the delay effect that's done in the recording studio was a Chicago based recording engineer by the name of Bill Putnam (who was Duke Ellington's favorite recording engineer) but he did two important Recordings to involving harmonicas and echo effects. The first one in1947 was the Harmonicats according of "Peg O' My Heart." The second in 1952 roughly was Little Walter's recording of "Juke."

[@AmazingaminG001]

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic is definitely one of the best reverb/delay guitar solos of all time

[@ck2music712]

The Dubb Reggae section was AMAZING, Sammy G! Made my day! I'm basically the ONLY reggae musician in Nashville, so, Thank you, hoss!

[@Hopeitsagood1]

Man as someone who hasn't played the guitar, 7:30 is a magical moment. To have so much music, and sound, and brilliance come from one instrument. It's not the rapid movements of the piano nor the meticulous bow strokes of the violin; rather its an embodiment of of the instrument itself. Making it sing by knowing exactly what it can do.

[@Nachtuil36]

Delay effect takes me back to my childhood in the Ardennes: Radio Anemone. Their tune was from" Music from the body"by RonGeesin and Roger Waters: Bed Time Dream Clime. Each time I pick up a guitar plus delay, this is the first idea that comes to my mind. Cheers !

[@arsenioberlin268]

Arigato gozaimasu! Peerless, impeccable playing paired with a coherent history of the delay pedal. I can't ask for more.

[@janevirtualbird]

Some of my favorite delay comes from Bauhaus and Lowlife but the stuff listed here is great too.

[@robgreenlandMusic]

So happy to see this, I LOVE delays, all kinds, any kind..

[@StonefolkNetwork]

Vini Reilly / Durutti Column’s work is perhaps my favorite use of delay. For all the fans of that track Rain (and no knock on it), Vini was making music like that in the late 70s. Check out the track “Sketch for Summer” off of Return of The Durutti Column as a starting point, if unfamiliar. Reilly is one of the 20th Century’s greatest (mostly) unsung guitar heroes.

[@Cake_Doge]

With my overdriven solo tones delay really plays a key role. Back when I was new I sucked with delayed, everything I dialed sounded messy, I almost never used it, instead I used reverb for that wide spacious feeling. When someone recommended delay instead of reverb as feedback I spent some time and found the sweet spot. Not only adds this atmospheric huge vibe but since what you play is repeated it kinda acts like double tracked recording and it thickens the sound.

[@bradleytaylor7133]

this is AMAZING, please make this a series!!! would love to see a wah or fuzz version

[@ianwebb8066]

My favorite delay user is Wes Borland, definitely add something to his riffs. Oh and Kmac!

[@TimSamoff]

The Dub tune is killer, dude.

[@dutch_urth]

Nice video, man! Personally, when I think of delay, I immediately think of Buckethead. Something like Big Sur Moon, one of those songs that's build entirely around the delay effect. Absolutely spectacular stuff!

[@Gynra]

For me, my first great delay moment was Hank Marvin of the Shadows on Wonderful Land (1961)

[@azazyl]

Awesome video... really appreciated the samples of each. You put in a lot into this.

Thanks man for reminding why I got into guitar and music.

[@brianspenst1374]

This really needed a 6th moment. It completely missed the echo effects of surf rock.

[@brianspenst1374]

I guess technically, the surf sound is a mix of reverb, wah, and echoes. So it really does no fit precisely in a single pedal video.

[@danielclark612]

@@brianspenst1374 I would include it on his mention of Elvis, though you're right it could have been touched on more to really cement in how important echo was to music at that time

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

[@nickbarthram1112]

Delay is a pretty big part of the revival of garage/psych/surf rock in the 2010s as well, all the great bands mainly from LA and Australia. That burst of delay sound that bands like King Gizzard and Oh Sees use a lot is probably my personal "great delay moment".

[@laloquaint]

This wasn't a video sammy g just made it was made in collaboration with the pedal movie. other creators did similar videos with different effects (also in collaboration with the pedal movie)

[@scruffymcstripes9966]

Dude, I feel it, you can't play reggae without grooving like that

[@TheNocturnalEvil]

Another delay moment that I feel deserves a mention is the use of Meazzi Echomatic multi-head drum echo by Hank Marvin from The Shadows. It and the Binson Echorec sounded different from all other delay units.

[@Continental_Champ]

[@caleshtcincredibles]

omg yes, i called the rob scallon quote from miles away

[@nolfred98]

My favorite moment in pedal history is Greg Kubacki creating that monster tone in Car Bomb - Scattered Sprites intro, using god only knows what effects

[@tom_something]

I can certainly see The Edge being branded more as an effects guy. In "It Might Get Loud", that seemed to be the primary focus of his contributions, in contrast to Jimmy Page and Jack White. Of course, impressions can be informed in the editing room, but it seemed pretty genuine. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Whether someone's magic happens between the fingers and the guitar, or between the guitar and the listener, a musical artist's strongest tools are creativity and a well-trained ear. That dotted eighth delay is really well used in the soundtrack to Chrono Trigger, turning eighth-note arpeggios and riffs into complex, "twinkling" sixteenth-note sequences. I wonder if the composers (Yasunori Mitsuda and some contributions from Final Fantasy's Nobuo Uematsu) drew some inspiration from U2. Some great stuff happening in that soundtrack in terms of harmony. It's not just a rubber-stamp jRPG.

Sammy G, I am still wondering why you don’t have a live professional guitar gig with a band. You are one of the best guitarists I watch. Keep up the good work!

[@no_nameyouknow]

He has done a ton lot of live guitar work with bands. I think he mentioned that it is just a lot of work for not a lot of money and he enjoys what he does now and is able to be musical and make money without traveling all the time and lugging heavy equipment all over.

[@samuraiguitarist]

I actually played plenty of gigs from empty bars to large festivals. It doesn't pay well, it's a very unstable life, it's extremely competitive and it just stopped being fulfilling so I decided to focus on this. At some point if the right opportunity comes around I may get back in to that world.

[@augustjschroeder]

7:13 This whole part sounds like that music you hear during some stupid ad from some car company trying to sell you their car by showing you a bunch of stock footage of people driving through the countryside and going on adventures or some bs, while narrator says stuff like "Life. It's all about freedom. The freedom to go anywhere, do anything, to discover. Life is out there, go find it.". And then the car company logo pops up with some slogan like "Explore. Discover. Live.".

Great that you make music, not just talk about it. But the music is not too long. Great Ballance = good writting

[@maldivirdragonwitch]

I personally first became interested in what the delay had to offer to guitar when I saw/heard Ewan Dobson perform his song Time 2. :)
