Chords for Guthrie Govan Pedalboard Build and Rig Breakdown for Steven Wilson tour. TheGigRig MIDI 14

_ _ [Gb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
Did _ you [B] just turn up with a bunch of [D] guitars and sort of see what was going to happen or
did you have a very specific plan as far as sonically when you got in there?
Well you should hear the demos.
[G] It's not in Stephen's nature [F] to make a demo [E] _ that sucks.
You can't do it.
[G] The demos are very detailed and less immortal as we just have released them [Gb] and been applauded
for [Dm] the sound quality. _
So I had a pretty good mental map of where everything [D] should go and what kind of tones
he was going [E] for.
Looking at the way that [C] you're producing these sounds live.
[Gb] Well there are certain generic things that [Dm] Stephen will want from one tune to the next.
[Ab] He's a big fan of various kind of [E] C6 modulation.
[G] He loves his [E] tremolo with everything turned up to 11, vibrato, [A] _ [G] Leslie's and stuff like that.
He hates chorus pedals.
I [Gb] don't need a wah for this gig [Dm] which is weird.
So just lots of different flavours of wobbling, lots of delay stuff and some [Fm] disgusting noises.
Let's hear some disgusting noises.
You want [Eb] disgusting?
Yeah yeah yeah.
That's mostly the sound blocks.
The sound blocks does this and I apologise [G] in advance.
This is going to be very loud and [Eb] unpleasant. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah time for days.
And the Rhino patch sounds like [Bb] this.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ So it's not really the sort of noise you'd use at a wedding gig. Sure.
There are points in the set where you need to sound like that. _
I can show you what else is going on. Yeah please.
That would be fantastic.
I have an all purpose clean tone.
_ _ Which has a little bit of delay on it.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
And that seems to warm [B] up nicely. _ _
[Em] You _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ have to play that.
We're in [D] the Royal Festival Hall today.
That was a lick of dignity.
_ [A] Then exaggerated vibrato.
_ [D] _
_ _ That's the shaker is it?
Yeah.
[Dm] Nice. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ That's the flow shopping.
Just before the rehearsal [G] started and discovered this which is awesome.
Yeah that's fantastic.
[Dm] _ I didn't need tremolo that nice [D] but it just told me to buy it.
What else have we [G] got?
We've got the _ _ Leslie. _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [C] This is a DLS thing.
_ _ _ _ Convincing wobble.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What else have we got?
_ This is some sort of [G] reverse delay.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
No idea what's going on.
_ [Bb] So you're using the MIDI out there to control the Eventide and it throws that back into [E] that preset.
Okay.
Every one of these seems to tell the Eventide [N] to do something different.
So for some of them I've just bypassed the pedal [Gb] but it's nice to know there's a spare delay preset [G] there.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ I'd say for most of this gig it's more about reverbs than [A] delays.
The delay is more of a special effect rather than something that you have on your soloing tone at all times. _ _ _
What else have we got?
We've got [Abm] filthy distortion which I named that.
[Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ It's [Gb] probably _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [E] _
that _ _ _ _ _ sound.
_ And just doing the [Gb] old fashioned stuff with the knobs on the guitar.
[A] _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ So this is the main guitar you used for [G] this gig?
Yeah.
Yeah.
_ Sounds fantastic.
I must say it's beautiful.
I have two guitars like this.
This one is a little bit brighter.
Right.
This is number two I guess.
Number one was Kowa.
Okay.
Which has that mahogany but sped up slightly kind of tone.
[Ab] This is basswood and maple so it's a bit more of [Gm] that bright toppiness.
And it's quite a [E] busy band.
There's quite a lot going on sonically so this seems to cut through a bit better.
Someone [G] at Berklee, [Ab] I guess someone from the company, gave me that and said
[F] I know it's not your kind [Gm] of thing but just try it out.
Right.
And it just [Abm] stagnated for 18 [D] months.
Okay.
And then this gig happened.
I thought I know someone who would like this pedal.
Right.
Okay.
I'm going to cheer Stephen up by bringing in this weird pedal he won't have seen before.
Of course he's got one as [E] well.
I haven't seen one of these before. _
Very few people have.
_ _ This is something Martin Kidd [Gb] of Cornford fame has been working [E] on.
Right.
I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say about it.
I know the company itself has kept very quiet lately.
Right.
All I can tell you is all this nonsense with monkey words in pirate lettering,
that's a prototype thing.
Okay.
I believe [G] they will look more like this.
Right.
When they're unleashed upon the [E] unsuspecting public. Right. _ _
[D] Yeah, they're cool.
[G] This is a 100 watt amp, [E] 6L6s.
Nice.
Normally I'm an EOR34 kind of character but you need a lot of clean stuff [D] for this gig as well.
Right.
Those tubes seem to bring out the clean in a more accurate way.
But hearing the sound checkers then, it does rock like a beast.
Yeah.
I think there's some [Ab] voodoo in the preamp so it still has that British squonky tone about [E] it.
Right.
That sounds wonderful.
_ [G] Excellent, mate.
Well, thank you for coming.
Thank you so much.
_ No, thank you.
You've done splendid work here.
My life's a lot easier.
Thanks, mate.
My pleasure. _ _
