Richard Oakes Guitar Question!!!
paulduff
I have a question. I've seen "By the Sea" played live and I was wondering
what is that thing Richard Oakes uses to get that kinda sustained feedback
during the first verse.
And how much would one of them cost.
Many thanks in advance!!!!
P.S. Does anyone else think that Richard Oakes is better than Bernard
Butler.
Maybe Oakes is not as infuencial as B. Butler but I think he is a better
guitarist. Anyway just a thought

I'm probably gonna get a bad response to this, but I think he's a better
guitarist too.
much better.

In what sense do you think he's better?
Take care,

I admit I know nothing about actual technical guitar stuff,
But I thinks he's defiantly more flexible stylewise.

I think Richard Oakes can make chords sound good.
Listen to Beautiful Ones, I mean he's just playing loosely over chords for
the riff on the verse but yet it sounds like he's actually doing something.
Its an amazing sound he's got coming out of his guitar. I think he is
definely more creative than Butler. Butler was more of a lead guitarist and
soloist in a way. But Oakes has got his Thirds , fiths and suspended forths
blah blah blah... down to a tee. He's got more of a guitarists ear for songs
I think. He knows what will sound good and where it will sound good in a
song. All in all I think Butler leaving Suede was a blessing both for Suede
and for Butler himself!!!

I'm fairly sure that they're pretty inexpensive: a New Zealand
multi-instrumentalist with whom I've toured the US twice uses
one, and he's dirt-poor, so he wouldn't have it unless it were
within more or less everybody's range.
All it does it vibrate the string over which it's held, thereby
giving a continuous tone without any of the percussive effect
that actually striking the strings gives.

saying this might have been a bit too harsh for suede, butler and also us.
i've been playing guitars for years and started playing suede's stuffs a
year ago,
either pre-oakes or post-oakes. i'd definitely think butler is a great
guitarists and so as oakes. bernard has extremely touching chord works
blended with outstanding scales and riffs especially in suede's debut
album, e.g. pantomine horse, so young and animal nitrate plus my fav
stay together in their ep. oakes is a bit more on scales and arpeggios
which sounds beautiful to somebody but is rather too thin for my taste.
bernard always plays some simple things, even judging from himself as
naive, but his guitar just sounds perfect: full and with textures. oakes
is a good student of bernard, inherited many of bernard's styles of playing,
e.g. the chemistry % us ~ the wild ones, together ~ animal nitrate, sadie and
sat nite ~ the asphalt world, but possesses his own style like feel(an
annoying song to me)
