[@thebreakfastmenu]

I think in the modern day world of seemingly infinite guitar effects, some people take for granted how inventive and revolutionary early Pink Floyd was, especially Syd.

[@Echoes1910]

Syd was the finest guitarist and influenced so many great players, including Marc Bolan, David Bowie, even Hendrix himself. Syd was off the charts talented and innovative, he was intergalactic , he really was.

[@oosqueezemylemon]

yes! I'm glad someone is here to say this - Syd was a genius

[@williamolsen20]

I think he equated music with colors, and he was just and example of pure artistic expression. It is sad that it could not have lasted longer.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

18:33 - i’m surprised there isn’t a KEMPER profile of a Selmer T&B somewhere out there…?🤷‍♂️

[@williamolsen20]

@@BeesWaxMinder There should be, because for one thing Syd had a unique sound, and you need that Selmer sound to get it.

[@starshineraiser6729]

100% yes. I remember listening to Piper at the Gates on a great stereo for the first time. Syd’s guitar tone shook my senses. I couldn’t believe someone could get such a complex tone, not even talking about echo, just when he strums chords. To this day, his tone and style are unmatched. It’s so explosive.

[@juliezandrewz7508]

What an honor to be mentioned by the Great Lee Harris, Jed Tyler is our guitarist (Big Syd Barrett Fan) and he used the Selmer amp for all our music in the studio! Selmer is the guitar tone of Juliez Andrewz

Really cool - I've a 1969 Traynor Guitar Mate 3 installed into the carcass of a Thunderbird Twin Fifty with its original Goodmans Axioms still installed - the Goodmans are a major part of the Selmer sound. Great combo of classic Canadian and early 60's Brit!

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

he has his own style and thats what counts !

[@benjaminfowler4513]

It's so filthy

[@stephenhenderson5322]

Totally agreed. That wah and treble control/abuse is crazy. Then into those crystalline esquire/tele chords during the chorus- perfect. Syd era has way more cool and enigma in both songwriting and guitar playing than anything that came later.

[@Nigel_Shortpants]

Saw nick mason’s saucerful tour live. I was completely blown away by how good and authentic the guitar tones were. Truly some of the best I’ve ever heard! Great to see Lee talk about gear!

[@vocalion9519]

"I'm happy with people who say, 'For me, Pink Floyd was really Syd Barrett. After that it went downhill.'" - Nick Mason

[@kriddz]

did he really say that?

[@dangitdan9938]

Syd Barret was too far ahead of his own mind. Remains my favorite of the pink Floyd eras.

[@whiterose7055]

I absolutely love Pipers, Saucer full of Secrets and Rarities albums. Later Floyd is great too, but Syd era was Pink Floyd in my humble opinion.

[@Spuzzmacher]

I guess i’m in that state of mind all the time, bc it’s still my favorite. I don’t hear beatles influence in floyd’s psychedelia, I hear the source of it in Syd’s own chromatic scales and pointillist, painterly approach to his playing work. The tone is another thing entirely, but Sydks playing dances all over the line between chaotic noise and musicality we’re still exploring today in various genres.

[@starshineraiser6729]

Been wanting a Selmer in a can for years. I bought this pedal the second it was listed and can’t wait to get it. INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you Anderton’s Syd is my favorite guitarist ever for his tone and technique.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

Please post how you get on with it?

[@jedlaboucane6388]

Thank you Lee Harris for the shout out! Your a top lad indeed.

[@robertmccourt1243]

Syd era Floyd will always be my favourite. Lucifer Sam is a song that brings me great joy and has been covered by MGMT and The Lightning Seeds in more recent years.

[@weaselsuit]

Love and Rockets also did Lucifer Sam as a b-Side in the eighties.

[@craigbuchan]

Im not the biggest fan of the early floyd stuff but there are definitely some gems in there. Also I heard that Gilmour would always throw in a few Syd songs to his set so that Syd would make some money off the live CD/DVD's sales

[@regularnimnule9715]

This is straight up one of the best ever gear related vids I've ever seen and I'm not even an obsessive Floyd fan (well, maybe a little). Excellent stuff fellas, thank you!

[@toms5951]

Always been my favorite band. In 2016 I finally got to see David Gilmour in concert, which happened to be during my wife and I's 3rd wedding anniversary that week, he announced his North American tour dates as we put in our vacation time off. It restarted a love of playing for me, I had stopped playing out of frustration and depression and thankfully haven't put it down since then. A few weeks after the concert and boasting all over Facebook about the show I was contacted by an author that was putting together personal recollections of Pink Floyd Concerts and had asked more my contribution. Jump to the winter of 2019 my wife then surprises me with tickets to see Roger Waters and of course Covid happened, but after waiting two years we're finally going this July. All I need now is a chance to see Nick Mason's group to complete the Pink Floyd circle as much as possible these days.

[@effess8698]

That Interstellar Overdrive sound is phenomenal

[@markweaver8529]

I went to see nick masons saucerful of secrets last month,amazing live truly. And the guitar work from Lee and Gary kemp was brilliant. A great show and nick mason still a legend behind the drums. And that guitar aswell.❤️

[@rorychapman-vasquezdelaveg4171]

Can't even imagine how long i've been waiting for a video like that on yt...

[@stilllifewithguitar184]

Got mine a few days ago. It's really an amazing box. Definitely not a traditional overdrive, very amp-like. It does this great almost fuzzed out lofi-ish sound, but it's also very dynamic. But it also can get that bright cleanish yet relatively smoother 60s type sound, like Kinks Kontroversy era, some Who tones, brite bitey surf stuff. It's kind of brit 60s garage in a box. Really loving it, I can't think of anything else like it.

[@Dwightpower88]

Nice, good review!

[@DrJeebles]

Great interview. Thank you! That pedal sounds amazing; very Syd.

[@grumpyrocker]

Great interview, thanks both. For those that can't get to see the band live there's a great video version available on DVD/Streaming.

[@madcaplaughs4687]

Syd's Floyd is the best in my opinion and the most original he influenced everyone from Townsend , Hendrix ,the Beatles ,Stones Bolan, Bowie The Soft boys Blur XTC to name just a few,. lyrically and musically he was a genius there was nothing else on the face of the earth at the time that sounded like piper or see Emily play let alone scream my last scream.

I first heard Pipers when I was about 15, so around 19 years ago and thought it was the weirdest thing ever, but I loved it and have done ever since. As great as the interview was, I’m happier to hear that Nick Mason sounds like such a stand up guy.

Yes Syd influence is still certainly greater and wider than we think. I'd give just one example among many others : Syd has bent other musicians minds more than he has on Gilmour's.

Syd was pure genius and was a completely true original. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a definitive album in the history of rock music and his solo albums (Madcap Laughs; Barrett) are some of the most original and haunting works of music ever recorded. They make Nick Drake sound like The Backstreet Boys. Pure artistic genius of the highest degree that has ever been achieved by man. More akin to Bach & Beethoven then later Pink Floyd.

[@Spuzzmacher]

Yep, I grew up in the 90s and was listening to a lot of the muddy mush that was being made then like everyone else. In ‘94 my mom gave me Piper and the sound of Syds guitar was so visceral it blew my mind. 30 years after that, I’ve got a pedalboard full of gear trying to get shimmering highs and fuzzy lows with a bit of ethereal delay and it dawns on me…. it’s Syd’s sound.

[@SydBarrettArchives]

On Saucerful, Syd played slide/guitar on Remember a Day, and supposedly played bass on Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun. Plus both Scream Thy Last Scream and Vegetable Man were recorded for that album (and/or a single for that album) but were not used.

[@CoreyW6292]

If they had included Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream.......holy smokes, their 2nd album would have just been too awesome......especially if they had left "One in a Million" the original instead of making it Corporal Klegg.

[@soarornor]

Scream and Vegetable Man are two of Syd’s most amazing songs.

[@Spuzzmacher]

As well as the Instrumentals known as “sunshine”, plus the unfinished “Beechwoods”, and all the random takes of “have you got it yet”s. When you add it all up, there was quite a bit of Syd material recorded for it & it’s obvious that at some point the decision was made to remove most of it. I wish they’d make a full-length “in the studio” release of Saucerful, to let us in to that explosively creative moment in time.

Absolutely can see the greatness in Syds handling of the Binson. I treated myself to a T-Rex Replicator D'Luxe, which is a real tape echo using cassette tape. And even though it has Tap Tempo it never does the same stuff twice. That's the blessing and the curse with these things. It takes skill and practice to handle them in a way that people who have only used BBD and digital delays just would never expect. I fell into that trap as well but I'm happy I did.

I've got a Peavey TNT Bass rig which puts out 80 watts of thump if needed, but also use two other separate amps to punch out 25 watts of high tone. Of course tone from 2 separate Blackstar Flys and 1 Blackstar Fly bass amp for tone compressor while the 2 Flys produce my third delay tones. Yes, got bass compression and delay but have all tied via an MXR and seven other pedals, mostly Boss for overall tone. I think it is cool to have a Selmar but instead: if I might say, use it to create your tones at home and use the power brutes for stage or rehearsal. I also have a 100 watt mosfet Marshall racket power amp that drives a 4-12 cab MX version for tighter lows which is and will be my stage and rehearsal rig.

[@jimherleva4541]

I have this pedal and it is awesome! I’m not a huge Syd Barrett fan so that wasn’t the reason I bought it - but I love the sound of Selmers and it does not disappoint. If you can stretch to £260 I would recommend this pedal without hesitation if you want to have something that nails that old late60s early 70s British rock sound.

[@andreasdavour9973]

There are a lot of opinions on this one. The Captain meets series is not where you go for the playing, people, it's about talking to interesting artists! Also, I think it's fair and sensible that The Captain tells it like he feels it. He does not connect with the early Floyd, that's ok. I for one felt this was an interesting conversation. Lee had some interesting stories to contribute, we got to learn about some old tech and how it has been revived, and those who did not knew got to learn some tidbits about the legendary Syd.

It's funny the video mentioned the Jimmy Page Tele, and I got to play a Fender Custom Shop Jimmy Page Tele, and soon after that I ended up with a NOS Mexican Fender Classic '60s Telecaster. Both guitars look basically the same, but I actually like the Mexican one better, due to the neck profile. I did through some Fender '64 Reissue Tele pickups in the guitar though. It seems to vary from guitar to guitar whether I prefer USA or Mexican Fenders. I have it form a good source that EVH like the Mexican Fenders better than the USA Fenders, and wanted all of his guitars built in Mexico, in the beginning of the EVH Brand.

[@ryanturner9509]

oh Captain! I think you need to have another try with the right tunes from the earlier era. I would advise getting the album Relics. Also if you have the means to play vinyl then get the L.p. simply to do the old "gaze at the artwork thing" there are a couple of tunes on there that i always found intriguing even as a 15 year old Ac/DC and GnR fan. "Paintbox" was a favourite. I spent a few years in a band that occasionally strayed into the odd obscure cover version and on a few occasions even played Echoes (the Pompei one) upto the end of the cool bass jam in the middle. That gained a very dubious and unsure reaction from the crowd. We also used to do Astronomy Domini, Fearless, we opened a gig with Breathe at The Night and Day Cafe in Manchester where I shortly after saw The Black Keys! I digress. Syd was a great guitar player and its a lot of fun to play Astronomy and Interstellar Overdrive, give it a go, you may come around to the Madcap way. Just be careful with that axe Eugene 😁

Check out David Bowie rendition of Arnold Layne with Dave G and the band at the RA hall, it’s uncanny. My 1st Floyd gig was the perfect moon shot at Earls Court.

Jimmy Page put the same circular mirrors on his Tele, as he saw on Syd’s. Imitation

I only listen to, and like, DSOTM and before. This pedal is a godsend.

Hey all...at 16:14, there's a shot of two pedals on the carpet. In the foreground, bottom right side, there's a pedal or something, by Fender. I couldn't make it out. Anyone know what it is? Just Curious.

All the guitars on “Remember A Day” off of Saucerful are Syd.

18:33 - i’m surprised there isn’t a KEMPER profile of a Selmer T&B somewhere out there…?🤷‍♂️
