Otherworldly. It pains me to think of all the beauty we've missed out on without his gifts in the world.

Dear Sanity Inspector, I was at this concert (and also saw him many times live) and there are no electronic gimicks, he was just flat out awesome. I miss him and his artistry. Keller Williams loved Michael too. Check him out (although he loops and Michael did not.

Agreed: no gimmicks. Guitarists abound who simply wire themselves up with every effects gadget in the music store, and hope for the best. Michael was not one of those; he knew the sound he wanted, and he used his gear AND talent to get it. I just mean that, with all that sustain and flanging going on, advanced technology was obviously part of his toolbox. I once saw a show where he stopped, just noodled over a triad for several minutes, while he and his technician adjusted his gear. Details.

It's definitely not straight acoustic guitar. He uses a FRAP pickup mapped through a parametic EQ. He also uses a Sunrise magnetic pickup that goes through an EQ and then through a chorus box. The two biggest differences you hear are 1) much greater amplification of the harmonics, and 2) the chorus effect giving him a chuka-chuka sound. The massive amplification also allows him to get subtleties out of the guitar that would require too hard of a playing style for an unprocessed guitar.

OH YA.

Yes, plus he's hooked up to more electronics than Jimi's Strat was.

Advancement always seems magical to idiots.
