Tie Your Mother Down - organ intro. QUEEN

Post by Kfals »

Anyone have suggestions on recreating the organ intro buildup in Tie Your Mother Down? Nord electro 5HP. Any tutorials on playing it are welcome!

Well, it is Brian May's guitar with harmonizer and looped to play endlessly (and maybe it is also playing backwards, not sure). Not an organ. Best way to simulate it is to sample it and make a loop.

Few responses here saying it's a guitar. Am I missing something? The full studio version from 36 seconds to about 1:02 is an organ sound, no?

Well, it's guitar really. That ascending neverending loop. Brian May's guitar can sound as anything. There is no organ on album A Day At The Races. Only harmonium in song Teo Toriate. And grand piano of course... Few years ago I analyzed it pretty long time, then one our guitarists just simulated it with harmonizer. There are many many guitar layers, some more octaves higher... so it sounds as some space synth.

hello, It is, as already written in the previous posts to Brian May's guitar (many overdubs, about 6 tracks?). The reason why it sounds so organ is that it is played backwards. This lacks the typical decay phase of the guitar sound :wave:
