NIGHT TIME. Album: Night Time (1985) Updated feb. 6 2006
To play this track , i use delay effect to reproduce the jerky effect in verses/break...
If you don't have delay or fine parameters, you'll have to DOUBLE each palm-muted note...
Here are the DELAY PARAMETERS you'll have to use:
Delay time : 100/105ms.....Feedback : 0/1 (to have one single repeat)...Volume : 100/max=direct volume.
MAIN RIFF G-string=palm-muted, C-string=slightly palm-muted......^=slide
In the intro, Geordie plays the A-0 note each time, half a time in verses, let it ring...
