Hey guys, I hope this video is helpful for you. I love this song so much. I will also upload a tutorial for "Morningrise" by Slowdive on Instagram in a few hours. Feel free to follow me there as well @berlinshoegazer.

This guitar effect is 90s... brilliant.

40 Days still keeps me up at night... The drone-like sound and alternative tuning are still a mystery to me.

I don't even own a guitar or know anything about music but when the sun hits is my all time favorite song so watching this has me blown away, keep up the good work!

4:47 the J. Mascis definition of "clean signal" :D

[scribbles]

That was phenomenal. I smiled the whole time just listening to how that all came together. Excellent!👌🏾

The “shredding” part is played by Christian Savill. It’s awesome to see him do it live 😃

[joao]

First 16 minutes: "oh this guy just picked it up all wrong"
When he finally assmbles it all together: "damn he nailed it"

[Juanito._._]

Also in live performence rachel and neil do the same guitar 1 to make a overdub effect but then neil do the guitar 3 in the chorus

[duvan-solis]

I really appreciate to see a well structured description.

[turinski]

pedals are history, screengazers rise up

[neilanderson]

Thank you for doing the third guitar (lead). It’s really hard to find examples of that. People have claimed that a phaser was used for this, and I find it interesting you didn’t use one. Thanks again.

Thanks for such a good channel. Shoegaze is one of my favorite favorites musical genres, and "Slowdive" one of my favorites bands ever. Greetings from Perú! 🇵🇪

[avedic]

WtSH is excellent. But Machine Gun, the 2nd track on the album, is definitely my favorite.
Prefect shoegaze dream-pop vibe on that one. LOVE the chords throughout.

[TheNate]

Wow to be honest I've been loving this track all week and I didn't even fully notice the 2nd guitar in the back before this tutorial! Thank you for this video!

[khymornitar]

Dude, this is amazing. Such a good job creating such a massive sound

[aaronsmith]

Man, this may have been easy for someone like you to do, but it makes a really nice tutorial for some of us with poor ears. Thank you!

[raavenstark]

Oh i'm in the video :3 Thank yooouuu so much for accepting the request <3

[dharmapada]

Well done! Always loved that song. Such a wall of sound it produced and you covered it excellently!

[christopherestrada]

Since there was no tutorials on this song or old live performances, I had to transpose it by Ear too back then when I listened to Slowdive a lot. And this was pretty much how I played it!!! Great minds think alike. Great Estrada minds haha.
