A Saucerful of Secrets - PompeiiBy: Pink Floyd

(MAIN THEME)

Each note (except for the last F#) is a whole note; obviously don'tstrum once and let it just ring after the first "verse", as the songgets much faster and louder. I must say that this is my favoriteFloyd tune, by far.

I just have no idea what exactly he does. I dont have a slide (yet) but i had tried a couple of things (such as bottlenecks) just to see if i can recreate the sound dave makes, and I am just not able to get the sound...

Does anyone have any idea how to recreate this sound?Reply With Quote #2Old 05-09-2004, 04:48 PMShane G.'s AvatarShane G. Shane G. is offlineOdessey and OracleFormer APFFN moderator

Works best on the high E string, in the upper register of frets.Reply With Quote #3Old 05-10-2004, 10:01 AMantshodan antshodan is offlineGoodbye Blue Sky... Join Date: Mar 2004Posts: 32

thanks!

what kind of effect, or gain or anything does he use, if anything?Reply With Quote #4Old 05-10-2004, 08:43 PMShane G.'s AvatarShane G. Shane G. is offlineOdessey and OracleFormer APFFN moderator



Join Date: May 2002Location: SomewherePosts: 5,835Put a little echo on there. Also turn up your amp, put on a good distortion on,and turn the volume on your guitar to 2 or 3, where the sound just begins to come up. Gives it that eerie, slightly overdriven sound.Reply With Quote #5Old 05-12-2004, 03:13 AMantshodan antshodan is offlineGoodbye Blue Sky... Join Date: Mar 2004Posts: 32Thanks man! thats great...

Having got hold of a steel slide, and followed your instructions, i still find im not able to get that sound. Or at least i am, but I have a feeling that Dave must use a weird tuning for it. As far as i know he didnt tend to do that, but does anyone know if he did for that song, and what it was. Cheers!Reply With Quote #8Old 06-12-2004, 02:11 PMShane G.'s AvatarShane G.

Location: SomewherePosts: 5,835Well, it's a sound that only really comes out if the amp is turned up. He also used an odd kind of slide on Pompeii, a solid one used for pedal steel, as it looks. It might have a rougher finish, and would make it easier for those applications.

Ah well, good to be of service anyway.Reply With QuoteReply
