Just a Girl (No Doubt)

Post by JAR842 »

Hey Guys, I am trying to find a sound of Just a Girl for 1. the Intro (just two tones) and 2. the solo (1:43min). Have a listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzOOQfhPFg
I have a NE6.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks!

There’s a great sample called Robot Rock here that is spot on for Just a Girl:

The keys/synth solos at 1:43 and 2:40 can use the exact same keyboard patch as what you use for the "D-D" lick at the start. At the solos it's just higher notes.

Don't be afraid to dirty it up and make the keyboard noise more bad-ass than what's on the original. From my perspective, playing this song live is not about subtlety.

Yep, the sound I linked above is THE sound for each signature part of this song. It’s a good one! If you have a synth based Nord, e.g. Wave or Stage, it can be even better.
