Great performance - one of my best PG tracks! Get a little dizzy, maybe a still front angle next time?

[@smashmash]

joe gigliotti 360 VR next time? lol!

[@joeprogrock]

smashmash love your sounds can you please tell me what they are and where I can get them from thanks

[@smashmash]

joe gigliotti This is roland gk3 pickup going into VG99 - No original guitar pickup at all. The VG99 is providing a virtual strat into a JC120 model slightly overdriven heavily compressed with stereo chorus. It's also providing a Jazz bass model into a modern stack emulation in DI mode with all top cut, lots of compression and lots of bass. This is only applied to low E and A of the guitar and the A itself is downtuned an octave to give that 5 string sound. The synth is smooth pad from SC88 sound canvas. 2 tones running an octave apart to thicken it.

[@joeprogrock]

thanks great description. would love to understand the tabs as you are playing it since I play it very basic.

[@Headless_68]

great sound & playing but..... ....is there a pic of you with the camera taped to your head though :-)

[@smashmash]

it was hilarious- all I'll say is I customised one of those head torch things!!

[@MisterDivineAdVenture]

Lovely - but what's the technique to separate the music without original tracks? What do you use that's so good?

[@smashmash]

Explained in a comment below!

[@colinbdrake]

Gorgeous. How did you get the vocals only version of Peter's voice?

[@smashmash]

Thanks Colin. You might like to buy Greatest Hits DVD and listen to the centre channel.... ;-)

[@colindrake5192]

Thanks for the tip! Sorry to ask for clarification: Which greatest hits DVD? I haven't seen one (only cd)?

[@smashmash]

Lol! No worries - there are all sorts of ways of finding acapellas which I learnt when I was making mash-ups early 2000's. The video you want is Peter Gabriel Play - the videos. Have fun....

[@fartybreath4147]

Acapellas4u.co.uk !!! If an acapella exists, it'll be on that site.

To add to what smashmash said, his different shows (including the awesome Secret World performance) also have a 5.1 mix with Peter's voice isolated in the center channel. To get a nice karaoke version, extract the channels, invert the center channel, mix and eq and voilà.
