I'm not sure how far this thread will go, granted a couple songs will be very difficult, and some we won't even do. Im talking about of course all the ambient things Ed does in the band when they play live. This thread will help aim to dissect what's really going on. So with the help of live videos and a little knowledge, i hope we can get somewhere.

Ebow with the harmonic setting

B---7~--5/95/7--9/57~-/9/7/5/3/2~-------|
G-----------------------------------------------|
Now for the verse, he starts looping each riff as he goes
Slow vibrato:
e------------------|
B--2v~--(3)--------|
G------------------|
once these are looped go into the intro riff again at 'astral cars.'
and loop THIS section of THAT riff:
e-----------------|
B--7~-9/57~----|
G-----------------|
then when these are goin, very subtly loop:
e--/(21)--|
'all my lovers'
sustain:
e------------|
B--14v------|
G--14v------|
outro
e-------------------------------------------------------|
B--7~-8-7-3/2~--end with 8~-8p7-8p7-8p7-etc.---------|
G-------------------------------------------------------|
CODE
KID A
Loop these notes for outro
e---15---------20------17v-----|
B------------------------------|
G-------17v--------------------|
v is for vibrato. and ducks go quack.
sounds pretty good, theres prolly more stuff he's doing
CODE
WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI
E---7~/87~5~3---|
then he does something weird the last time, cant figure out the other note.
maybe he gets the harmonics from these:
B---3v--|
G---4v--|
CODE
15 STEP
B--9v/11v--|
