Unchained....isolated

Every time I hear Eddie’s isolated tracks, it blows my mind. I try to grasp where his mind pulls these rhythms, chords, fills, and leads from. I just can’t think that way.
 
Lets all remember Eddie played the piano from an early age. The finger strength, musical knowledge and dexterity gained from piano helped his guitar playing tremendously. I wish I could have took piano lessons back in my younger days. These iso tracks of Ed are super cool.

Supposedly he wrote Unchained on piano
 
To get Unchained to sound just right, you have to detune the B string just a hair. Really makes a difference.

Holy crap. It sounds like Eddie is using an MXR blue box on the outro riff...

Wasn't it an Eventide unit that they had at the studio? There's some other spots on this album where you don't hear it in the mix but can hear it in iso.

I have no clue. I just assumed that MXR was the popular brand of effects and Ed used them, so I fumigated it was a blue box. The tone from the clip has that fuzzy blue box trait.

After a screaming match with Templeman about guitar overdubs (which Templeman was vehemently against, due to the band not being able to reproduce live) Ed and Donn snuck into the studio when Ted wasn't there, and split Ed's guitar with the Eventide and put an octave-lowered track in the right side of the mix.

Here's another bit with the Eventide. One of my favorite leads on this album.



And there's something on the intro to Women In Love that doesn't sound like a pedal, and then later they used some reverse delay.
