Further to my video of 18th November…
Another of the videos I’ve made after working out how I played some tunes from back in the day.
Erring on being a niche interest here’s a less than thrilling comparison of the output from hexaphonic and ordinary pickups on the same guitar when played with a bow. The hexaphonic pickup has separate outputs for each string so the volume of each can be balanced – particularly useful when using a bow which struggles to get a grip of the inner strings because of the shallow arc across the fretboard.
I’ve been working out how I played a few tunes of yesteryear from less than exhaustive notes and videoing them for posterity.
The denouement won’t come as a shock to regular viewers…
Cock-up on the editing front so this is the new improved version with the title and date correct this time, some duff edits replaced and some effect induced oddities deoddidified. I’ve also added parenthesis to emphasise the sotto voce section and of course introduced a new error. The song remains the same.
Hopefully to be followed by the video I started out making about adjusting individual string volume to better balance levels when bowing.
I bought a cable to split the output of a hexaphonic pickup to individual channels. First go…
I posted this to Twitter a couple of times as on the first occasion a grand total of three people caught a brief glimpse of it as a dim blur in the far distance (a.k.a. a Tweet impression).
…Of any social media referencing of my noise making endeavours and it seems that a couple of years ago someone spent a portion of the short time they have on Planet Dirt to upload The Gits (UK) tune ‘Hold Me Now’.

YouTube blurb…
An entry in the Chords of Orion Trial by Remix from back in the twenty first century. I’ve half-inched some dialogue to add a little impetus half way through from ‘You Will Become an Old Musician | Bring it on!‘ where the great man himself reads out a less than polite comment he’d received.
The only other additions are new drums and a synth part derived from Bill’s playing where I add an extra bar to the melody to fit the imposed structure. Plus special guest appearances from tam-tam and kangling 1.
Everything else is done by editing, effects, and of course – mirrors.
This is the original.
