Even if you’ve not actually heard of this technique before, I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve definitely heard it being used by countless guitarists on hundreds of songs. By using a delay or echo pedal to create a dotted 8th note delay, you can transform even the simplest guitar part, so it becomes much more rhythmically complex and epic sounding, and over the years, famous players such as Pink Floyd’s David Gilmore and The Edge from U2 have created some of their most memorable riffs using this technique.
In this video, we cover the basics of the music theory behind the dotted quaver note, and how to create the effect using various delay and echo pedals, plus give you a few playing tips tat work well with this kind of effect. Learn the technique here and check out our full range of delay pedals at your nearest Professional Music Technology store...

    If you have a tap tempo, you can also tap in quarter note triplets. Once you are used to doing that, you can quickly get the right delay tempo. To get used to this, try having your metronome on and say "trip pull it" twice in four counts. Make each syllable the same length with the "trip" always on a 1 or a 3. When you get used to that, tap your tempo in time with you saying "trip pull it". Works nicely and can be done on the fly without much thought.

I have a simple set up from guitar to DD8 to Amp. I don't have any other Fx pedal switches, just the DD8. What do you suggest? Thank you.

    Hey I have a question, how do you set this up before live shows? Or during band practice? Do you let your drummer play the beat first before setting up the dotted delay? Or do you do the setup at a certain place during the song? I am really worried that either i fuck up the setup or my drummer changes tempo accidentally and we'll sound like shit. I don't wanna point fingers if ever that happens lol. How do you mitigate this problem? Thanks for the awesome tutorial btw.

    Hi, how is the stereo dotted 8th delay achieved? Is it a seperate effect inside of the multieffect pedal board or can it be achieved with standard pedals (like 2 of them or something)?

  • @nedim_guitar
    @nedim_guitar2 жыл бұрын

    I can't get this rhythm under my hands and feet. I keep confusing it with triplets. Although... It is every third 16th note, starting from the first. So if I play 16 noted with my hands on my knees and accent every third hit, staring from the first one, the accents will keep moving like it should. It's just difficult to keep the tempo with the foot, but I can follow with the metronome. Excellent!

    So if what I learned is right, if a song I’m playing calls for a dotted eighth delay in a song that’s tempo is 86 bpm, I multiply by 1.333 and that becomes 114.6// 115 bpm, I should set my delay to 115 bpm for a quarter not delay, and I therefore would have dotted eighth note delay in 86 bpm correct??
